There is quite the dogpile going on.
I just wanted to reiterate my stance that while I don't think he needed to react as strongly as he did, I have a very hard time feeling sympathy for her.
You don't hit women, thats a great code. I agree with it as well. However, there needs to be reciprocity in that code. Respect goes both ways. I respect the fact that I have a lot more strength and hitting a woman is vastly unfair, and they need to respect the fact that I treat them differently because of that, and not abuse it.
While he might have gone a bit overboard, my perception is that she was hiding behind the fact that she was indeed a woman, hoping to have a response and leave him powerless to respond in a similar fashion. He didn't back down, and she paid for it. I doubt she'd do it again. I'm not applauding him for what he did, but man...she needs to rethink what she is doing.
