It’s a terrible idea to “defend” yourself in that situation. Put your hands in your pockets, stay seated, and take the hits until the cops get there. Do anything different, and you needlessly expose yourself to the misandry of the general public, and police. Being hit by a woman is shitty. Suck it up. Being arrested and risking a white knight judge is worse. Dude did the smart thing.[/quote]
awful advice, and if you did that you’d be a fool[/quote]
A fool without any injurys, and without hand cuffs. I’d rather be foolish and free while she’s arrested, than in custody, under arrest because I lacked the discipline to take a few hits from an unarmed woman who served as no serious threat.
If you stand up, your “intimidating” her. If you grab her arms to stop her, your restraining her - possibly leaving marks. Say hi to the smoking gun of “woman abuse”. If you block her punches or kicks, you might leave marks again, and now your “swinging at her”.
It’s not awful advice. It’s advice for the real world, where police officers, and any witnesses are heavily influenced by their preconceptions about you as a man - especially a man on this site. You can give them NOTHING to mistake for agression. NOTHING. You’re kidding yourself if you think they’ll buy that you were just trying to get away, when she tried to block your escape, and you accidentily knocked her to the ground. You’re kidding yourself if you think they’ll buy that those marks on her wrists were because you were stopping her from hitting you. They will assume that you are the agressor, and will interpret anything and everything you do in her favor.
Somebody said they didn’t know why nobody helped the guy? It’s because people fucking hate men. That absent help doesn’t suddenly present itself in court when your trying to explain to a judge conditioned to view men as aggressors, and women as victims that you weren’t the aggressor, while your assailant sits on the witness stand and fucking cries about how awful it was FOR HER.
Never underestimate the power of sexism. It’s real, and it’s serious shit. Dude did the smart thing.[/quote]
you are a 100% right and I am sorry to say but whomever is disagreeing with you hasn’t gone through it. please restrain your gf/wife/whomever with adrenaline coursing through your veins. you will leave her with bruises and she will use that against you.
i restrained a women who hit my kid and it was me who the cops spoke to…
she went to the doc a day after, had him take pics, cried and said this man just grabbed me for no reason because I ‘talked’ to his kid etc etc etc. Doc reports it and…
1 cop showed up next day, saw i was 6 feet and 260lbs and immediately called for reinforcements, without even informing me as to why he was at my door.
3 car show up, embarrassing me in front of my neighbors and it took a lot of talking and showing my kid had the mark of fingers on his face from her slap (I was lucky I had taken a picture with my phone camera…just in case).
But you know what? That wasn’t what saved me. There were no witnesses but one of the older cops was experienced enough to run her name and it turned out that she had done this before. A complaint had been lodged against her a while back and it turns out she is a violent bitch.
They got up and left. The advice I was given, after it was all said and done and I had coffee with one of the officers, is that it is better to not touch a woman at all, no matter what she is doing unless she is brandishing a weapon or you can prove that she is about to cut/shoot you.
This guy, in the video, sitting there and taking it, and from the looks of it it did not cause all too much bodily harm, was indeed the best thing for him to do. now she is fucked, will be fined and it will be on record she is a crazy bitch.
But please, be a ‘real’ man and hit her back and make sure someone is taping it and then we’ll talk.
