The guy was a complete douche and if it was me, I'd have at least given him a HUGE fuck you.
Btw if you've ever taken public transport over 15 miles that can be a long haul. I'd be pissed. I can also understand why she didn't just go home. Who wants to spend all day on public transportation on Christmas.
This guy warrants never speaking to again. Are you people really defending his douchebaggery behavior.
I'm not a violent person but if you have any kind of anger issues, I can see giving him at least a slap.
So you think it would be okay for a man to punch a woman because she emotionally hurt him and ruined his Christmas?
Yes...surely he can handle it
I wasn't asking you nor was I asking about a man getting punched, in fact the opposite, but it's good to know you think violence against men is okay.click to expand

You can but your opinion doesn't really matter to me. Besides you've already proved you're sexist with your comment so there's no need to dig any deeper. People who uphold double standards have no right to complain when the opposite side does the same thing back. So if you ever comment saying 'hitting a girl is wrong' or if you ever say anything like 'women aren't weak' I'll remind you of what you said here.
And that's my opinion!

He dicked her out and she punched him. And she's worried about Facebook?... Do you know how ridiculous that sounds?

You haven't seen many of my posts it seems. You don't have to worry about me not paying attention. ; )
@msx, yeah but we've covered all those bases so there's nothing productive to add to this thread. She's replied to every persons stance so nothing we can do but wait and see what happens!click to expand

I think what sag2315 says is really important. It's hard to see roles reversed and sometimes that's because you don't want to. You want to be the victim or think it wasn't really that bad. But if you read over her post it probably sounds a lot worse than you originally thought the situation was. I'm not saying you should go punish yourself over this situation cause that wouldn't make things better, but you really need to move on from this and get your priorities straight.

Several of you on this thread are just plain full of crap.
If a guy EVER started a thread saying he'd punched a woman in the face, you wouldn't read one line further. You'd be baying like bloodhounds for his balls on a stick.
"Justification" my Royal Irish Ass.

"The difference is that a GUY who did what she did would have his ass in JAIL."
Right so. Because men and women are not equal in strength. A woman punching a man would cause 50% less impact (damage) than a man punching a woman. THAT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Whereas a woman's punch would barely leave a bruise, a man's punch (administrated with the same fury) could give you a black eye, dislocate your jaw, make you bite your tongue or even knock you unconscious.
http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/human-biology/men-vs-women-upper-body-strength.htm<BR>
"Women's lower body strength tends to be more closely matched to men's, while THEIR UPPER BODY STRENGTH IS OFTEN JUST HALF OF MEN's UPPER BODY STRENGTH. In a 1993 study exploring gender differences in muscle makeup, female participants exhibited 52 percent of men's upper body strength, which the researchers partially attributed to their smaller muscles and a higher concentration of fatty tissues in the top half of the female body [source: Miller et al]. Another study published in 1999 similarly found women had 40 percent less upper body skeletal muscle [source: Janssen]. Even controlling for athletic aptitude doesn't tip the upper body strength scales in favor of the female; an experiment comparing the hand grip strength of non-athletic male participants versus elite women athletes still revealed a muscle power disparity in favor of the menfolk [source: Leyk et al].

So are we assuming that all men/women are the same size and are equal in strength?

Again. "The difference is that a GUY who did what she did would have his ass in JAIL."
The point I'm making is that a furious man will make more damage (and therefore more likely to land in jail) than a similarly furious woman, due to the sheer strength of his muscles.
Are you really surprised by that?
You might be right.
Now, is it excusable for a woman to hit a man?

It's about anger management bottom line. It's the root of the discussion.

Men in general don't punch women with their fists; they punch them with their words or maybe shake them when in a fit of passion. So using the same criteria for men and women is bull puckey. That is all.
The guy in this scenario was an insensitive ninny and on Christmas Day that is unforgivable.

Wasn't going to comment; but just going to because I feel the advice you are getting from people you know personally is actually hindering you in seeing the truth. So lets flip it around. Lets say it was you who told the guy "I want you to spend Christmas with me."
He asks" are you sure."
You say, "yes, I'm sure."
Fast forward, it's Christmas Day, he is traveling by bus a couple of miles out of his way. He text you saying he's on his way, you tell him not to come cause you have a hangover; or what ever he actually told you as an excuse.
However, he heeds no warning and goes anyways because he's already half way to your place. When he gets there, your not there, so he drops off all te heavy stuff, and walks around, sight seeing. He goes on FB and find out your actually having a good time, bullshitting him with your story, your my 13 miles away. So he goes to a friends house, gets drunk.
The next day he goes to your place tells you he know your there. You open the door; let him in, you say all this nasty stuff and he slaps you, your shocked, you say some more stuff, he slaps you again. He takes your smokes, tries to smoke it; he takes another finish smoking it; then before he leaves, he punches you in the face and walks out.
Would you; despite your deceit; still talk to him? Would you still associate with him? Would you accept his apology right away when he writes it on FB and emails it to you as well? Do you think he is in his right to have you in his life after he slapped you two times and then punched you in the face?

Will he forgive you? Will he talk to you again?
You're in Fantasy Land.
If he does, he deserves what he gets.
He should press charges, though most guys don't when assaulted by a female.
You obviously have serious self-control issues. You'd better get some professional help, or you'll eventually do this to a guy who will beat the hell out of you or turn you in to the police.
You sound like a real piece of work.
are you serious dj? did you not see what threw this girl into a rage?
You are oh-so-right of course. She was entirely justified in physically assaulting him, as we all are whenever we are wronged.
The difference is that a GUY who did what she did would have his ass in JAIL.

That's not a real concern. At all.

Thank you! I know I said this before, but thank you for being so understanding and for being one of few (in this feed) to put yourself in my shoes. Also for not backing down and standing behind your words no matter what these people are saying.
They're acting like I condone violence, like I said I'm proud of what I did. They act like I tried to kill someone. I've never done something like this before. I was shocked, humiliated and hurt. I explained all of that in the messages above. But I'm sorry for what I did to him. In my opinion, emotional pain hurts a lot more than physical pain. Like I said, emotional pain cuts deeper and lasts longer than physical pain. But I know I should've controlled myself and kept my hands to myself. I was wrong. Two wrongs don't make anything right.click to expand

People insulting you?
Ok, let's go back a few pages.
People were driving the following points:
1. Your safety
2. Your well-being
Some people are doing you more harm by feeding your emotions.
You barely addressed people's concerns about what could have happened if the roles were reversed or if it was another man.
People were advising you in hopes you will avoid yourself from harm, but you seem to not give a shit.
All you got from people's posts were insults.
You're too concened with your emotions instead of your overall well-being.
Don't worry, this is my last post.

Women don't usually punch guys either but also use words so how is that relevant? You never answered if it's okay, because his Christmas was ruined and he was emotionally hurt, to punch a woman. That's what I'm asking.
As far as that research goes...as someone who's 5'2 and petite I can tell you that without doing anything that I am stronger than some guys. That's probably not the norm but I can't even imagine what a woman who is taller and works out could do. Still couldn't handle the guys who work out but the guys who don't? I can see that. Don't forget that a woman's punch would still hurt and can cause damage. But it's okay because men are supposed to be able to handle pain and not feel anything at all. Bs!
Hmm. If a woman made plans to spend Christmas with his girlfriend who lives fairly far away by mass transit and then said girl blows him off with a lie and he finds out that she basically disregarded him as a person to get drunk with "friends" while he then was reduced to spending his Christmas window shopping, I'm pretty sure a fair number of men would be emotionally pissed off enough to confront the woman.
And yes. Women tend to slap, punch, kick and/or scratch when they find themselves out of control angry. Have you never watched a movie? 🙂
Men tend to cut down with words, maybe shake, or completely verbally assault when passionately pissed off.
I just think its silly to compare like for like when it comes to passionate displays.
And no. Punching in the eye is not okay.click to expand
