You can't just go around slapping people.


completely agree. slapping someone is an invitation to get punched in the face and/or shoved down (both of which carry a serious risk of death or coma due to head trauma), regardless of if you're a woman or not.

this is the real world, not movies. many people (especially men) and animals retaliate automatically when attacked physically. it doesn't matter what gender the attacker is, there's a high chance you will get your ass beat if you assault a man, regardless of the context.


She can go around slapping people who are groping her. Absolutely she can.

What, you're worried about him escalating from there? In a roomful of almost entirely guys? He won't make it very far with that...


The bulk of the article was about not being treated as an intellectual equal by the group, not the physical contact of one person.
