Maybe he'll think twice before trying that crap again.

Why do men (obviously not all) think it is OK to do this?

There's the problem.

I sometimes wonder if there was not some behavioral control gene that was on the part of the Y chromosome that looks like it broke off and that why the chromosome is smaller. The male of the species seems, generally speaking, to get into so much more trouble than women.

about them and thinking they are entitled. They are damaged pervs.

Yeah, that woman beat the crap out of me! Arrest Her!

to show more restraint than ICE?

This threat is over when he is dead!

Sorry, he could get up looking to kill.

Victims are just that. If they lose their mind, fine.

They don't operate under ANY ROE.

If only E. Jean did that to chump!

in the body of my message.

that you were quoting because I am still seething about the entire post from which you quoted.

Seems like bro code.

She still had to get out of that elevator and now he’s real mad. But since you’ll never have to face a threat like that you can keep explaining why she didn’t do it right.

I applaud her.

acquaintance, given your posted strict and narrow "legal"standards of what a woman is alllowed to do when she is being assaulted. Your posted repeated lack of care and concern for the safety and well-being of the intended victim in that video are duly noted, as is your clearly-evidenced concern for the assaulter. In case you did not notice, even after she struck him, he kept coming at her. She did not know if he was armed, what he was capable of doing, what he intended.

GOOD FOR HER!!! Since our laws are so fucking patriarchal, and rapists and rape protectors are now blatantly in charge, it seems like the only way we can protect ourselves is to be able to beat the crap out of anyone intent on harm. Apologists be damned.

Most likely, two.

And her husband, I presume.

someone will do better in the next 74 years, but I doubt it.

He didn't simply harass her, he assaulted her by trying to grab her breast.

I wish someone had shown "El Jefe" in the WH who was boss 60 years ago.

Although I wonder if this happened in the US? Doesn't matter, the woman's response was EXCELLENT!

But about those "apologists" ... there are quite a few around here.

From several posts downthread, Beijing, I believe.

Yes, sad to see the apologists here.

Oh, thanks for the location.

NOPE

Nothing else needs to be said.

I don't much care if she gave him a little more to think about. She left unharmed. When you're being attacked by someone who is bigger and stronger than you are, take the extra step to give you more time to escape.

I'm not a fighter. However, my father gave me some advice when I was a teenager. He said, "If some stranger physically attacks you, assume he's trying to kill you. Immobilize and stop him as quickly and effectively as you can. Then get the hell away from him."

I don't know who taught you about situations like she was in. She did the right thing for her safety. He'll survive.

And if she had a firearm with a 10-shot capacity and shot him 10 times, when asked by police why she shot him 10 times, the correct answer is, "I only had 10 bullets."

The bottom line is, he started it. She finished it. And in finishing it the way she did, she may have prevented other women from the same type of attack.

In the real world, some strange man physically groping you in an elevator is a very dangerous assault if you are a woman. You have no idea what his intentions might be. Women, in general, are at a physical disadvantage in situations like that. Fortunately, she has apparently had some training in self defense. She used it to prevent any further assault and then exited the elevator ASAP.

She immobilized him and went one step further to make sure he could not attack her again. Perfectly justified in the circumstances. She escapes unharmed and he gets an object lesson through learning that not all women are helpless and weak. Perhaps, as you suggest, he will learn from this. I doubt it, though. Instead, he'll probably use more immediate force the next time.

I'm surprised that anyone is attempting to blame her for her actions. Screw that!

I urge all women of any age to take self defense classes, or better yet, martial arts. It gives you the skills and the confidence to take on anything that happens.

assault so to try again the gloves come off and being in a closed space nothing is overkill until that door opens and you're gone.

Unless she is very physically fit and trained in martial arts, she is simply not capable of incapacitating a man with a single kick. The fact that he was still standing indicates that he was still a threat. The only way she would know that he was no longer a threat would be if he hit the floor. She left as soon as he did.

Smack him hard in the face, kick him in the crotch and a quick, sharp knee to the head.
You disable and injure the attacker as much as possible in order to give yourself a chance to escape.
That woman was being sexualky assaulted in a small enclosed space. There was no being nice. There was survival or assault. She did exactly what she needed to do.

She was still stuck in a closed space with him and had to disable him. She left as soon as the door opened.

And that she had zero opportunity to retreat.

That's what I'd argue as an attorney, & as a juror, I'd buy it, even if the judge said not to. Just sayin'. It was clear what his intent was & that he wasn't going to take her NO.

You're sounding a little strange about this situation. Why do you hold that woman who got groped in an elevator to such a standard?
