re: Video of suspended FSU QB punching a girl

I feel like many times women feel safe being physical because they hide behind the fact that most men won't retaliate (which they shouldn't in 99% of the situations). But the fact is that there are better ways to handle a situation without being physical and women should be held to the same standard as men in those situations. If some pathetic guy took a weak swing at a dude and the other guy knocked him the frick out, everyone would say he deserved it because you shouldn't escalate a nonviolent situation into a violent one. Being smaller or weaker shouldn't give women the right to instigate a situation with violence and I would think women who are striving for equality would feel the same way.
