Quote:Not condoning men hitting women, but I just want to understand the logic. Bear with me.


It seems much of the outrage is based upon the differences in size and strength of the parties involved, with the woman in this case obviously being much smaller and less powerful than Mixon.


If this were a much smaller and weaker male that Mixon hit, would that change the analysis?


What if she were a very large female, over 6' and well over 200 lbs?


Were she a trained fighter-a black belt in a martial art-what then?


Is there a general obligation that all fights have to be an equal match?

The biggest problem for me is by the time he decked her, it wasn't a reaction. He followed her into whatever place of business she went into, got in her face, she seems to out her hands on him to push him away from her and you can tell from the video it had the same effect as someone trying to push down an oak tree, THEN he decked her.


He had a million chances to walk away and you can't tell me it was instinct to hit her like that after her feeble attempt at pushing him away. He had plenty of time to think about it and still punched her lights out.


I've said what I'll say about second chances but anyone saying equal rights or equal treatment is an idiot.


There's no video proof of her doing anything close to equal what he did. And yeah if it we're a much smaller man than mixon, I'd feel the same. If the chick was the same size as mixon, I'd probably think of it as not as bad, but women are naturally weaker and more fragile than men, we all know that. It's not cool to u load on someone obviously weaker than you.
