Woman fined for hitting man who grabbed her
Woman fined for hitting man who grabbed her
A 23-year-old woman who slapped a man in the face after he grabbed her rear end has been convicted of assault by a court in southern Sweden.
The 27-year-old who made the unwanted move escaped charges for the incident after a preliminary criminal investigation was dropped.
"This goes to show that it's okay for guys to grab girls any way they want," the 23-year-old woman told the Metro newspaper.
The woman reacted when the 27-year-old man put his hand on her buttocks at Glorias nightclub in Lund last summer.
She instinctively turned to confront the man who grabbed her and hit him in the face so hard she broke the 27-year-old's nose.

They're mostly supportive of the woman. Seems natural enough...but this is DU where the unnatural is the norm.

1. I think, the point might be that she broke his nose...
I'll tell you what ****stick...
...you put a hand to my sexual chattel and you better hope she breaks something of yours before I make the scene.

64. So? He had no right to sexually assault her.

His actions wholly and completely instigated anything that occurred.

74. You can't use "eye-for-an-eye" here: She was not physically hurt.
He grabs her ass.
Is it appropriate to break his nose?
Is it appropriate to bite his ear off?
Is it appropriate to break one of his fingers?
Is it appropriate to kick him in the nuts so hard that he needs surgery?
Is it appropriate to punch him in the kidney so hard that it gets damaged?
Is it appropriate to smack him on the head with a bottle?
Is it appropriate to assault him with a sharp object?
Is it appropriate to kill him?
You said "anything".
If you don't keep your cool in that situation, you're going down the moral slippery-slope pretty quick.

80. .
He grabs her ass.
Is it appropriate to cup her boob?
Is it appropriate to tweak her nipple?
Is it appropriate to palm her muff?
Is it appropriate to press his erect penis through his clothes against her thigh?
Is it appropriate to digitally penetrate her?
You said, "Not physically hurt"
If you don't keep your cool in that situation, you're going down the moral slippery-slope pretty quick.
Keep your God-damned hands to your God-damned self. Women aren't here to serve as lab rats to discern the moral and legal limits of sexual assault.

96. Would she have been justified in killing him?
Is there any response that might have been disproportionate? What are the boundaries here?
She broke his nose; if she'd continued to hit him, would he have had the right to defend himself, at some point? Or does he simply have to accept it because he deserves it?
Where is the line to be drawn?
Nuclear Unicorn (6,498 posts)
100. How much should she be required to just lie back and try to relax?
It's a simple formulation: keep your hands to yourself. Do that and the rest is moot.
Orrex (35,807 posts)
113. She should be permitted to take reasonable action to end the incident
That particulars may be up to a judge or jury to determine, but in general I would say that retalitory action beyond what is required to end the incident would be excessive, though a precise threshold may of course be difficult to identify in the heat of the moment.
Still, you haven't answered the question: is the man at some point permitted to defend himself against a disproportionate response? If the woman has ten male friends with her, are all of them permitted to punch the guy who grabbed her?
You're trying to paint it as a simple issue, but that's because you're only addressing one simple part of an issue that is far more complex.
Nuclear Unicorn (6,498 posts)
124. His rights are to keep his hands to himself.
If he forfeits his right to do so he bears the consequences for his actions. There's no need for a COA Matrix for determining action-response propriety. It's not her job to determine the level of his intent, it's his obligation to keep his damned hands to himself.
If the woman has ten male friends with her, are all of them permitted to punch the guy who grabbed her?
Yes. Sounds like a good reason not to sexually assault people, huh?
Orrex (35,807 posts)
135. So there are no limits to retaliation? Really?
If she had a gun, could she kill the man and his three friends who happened to be a the club with him that night? If not, then you agree that there are limits to retaliation; I'm simply asking you to establish some sense of what those liimits might be.
If he forfeits his right to do so he bears the consequences for his actions. There's no need for a COA Matrix for determining action-response propriety. It's not her job to determine the level of his intent, it's his obligation to keep his damned hands to himself.
So you absolve the woman of any need to think about the appropriateness of her response. Why are you arguing that women are incapable of rational thought? You've asserted a rather sexist and grotesque caricature.
I don't like this guy...
...he makes me want to agree with the DU feminine-cysts.
And then...

139. Oh, go **** yourself
You're the one arguing that people who WILLFULLY DECIDE to sexually assault someone take precedence as if they're due some consideration. They chose to sexually assault someone. They chose to violate them.
The last word is obviously yours as I am about to be locked out of this thread.
Go **** yourself and try not to get your nose broken as you do it.

180. Congratulations, jurors #5 and #6 for proudly making the DU jury system even more of a bad joke.
The post was clearly uncivil and over the top, yet you proudly allow it to stand because you don't like the point the poster it was directed at was making. You should be embarrassed at yourselves, not proud.

125. A few days ago I was afraid redqueen's posts about "rape culture" were hyperbolic
Now, after seeing this thread I'm afraid she's right.
redqueen, if you're seeing this -- I'm sorry.
Well...she had me for a while.
This thread is clicking white hot with alerts:

Thank you for making it abundantly clear that you are not virtually a rape apologist, you support sexual assault enthusiastically.

118. That's some ugly, scurrilous shit you're slinging. I alerted on it.
Although I have zero confidence in the DU jury system. These days, it seems like if jurors agree with the general thrust of the poster in question, the poster can get away with anything.
CG is no pillar of decorum.

YOUR COMMENTS:
Calling someone a "rape apologist" and saying "you support sexial assault enthusiastically" in this context seems a bit over the top.

Thank you.
If I had a dollar for everytime the gun grabbers claimed the pro-2nd Amendment faction was enjoyed killing children I wouldn't be sweating my furlough.

136. But would a man be justified in slapping a woman who grabbed his ass?
And, if he broke her nose in the process, would so many here be arguing that he was justified in doing so?
And I would point out that if she had intended to break his nose she would have hit him with a closed fist.
That may be the case and will, I suspect, be sorted out through the judicial process.

105. If every woman who was on the receiving end of SEXUAL ASSAULT gave her attacker a broken nose
it might not happen so often.
SHAMEFUL outcome. And the sexual offender got off scott free.
RW talking points.
Understanding, quiet time and a government check are what gropers really need to confront their condition.
And it goes on like that.

Still, it's amazing how this is even a point o debate.
I keep saying: they cannot even govern their own, closed society. These retards have no hope of governing us if we refuse to let them.

Does sound like she overreacted. Getting upset to the point of coldcocking someone's face and breaking his nose because your ass got felt in a Euro dance club is like going to the zoo and being shocked that the monkeys fling shit at the glass.

I agree, DAT. Overreaction. A sharp slap is different from breaking a nose.
But but but...aren't we going to have a 200 reply slugfest about this? Complete with several interventions from the powers that be?
-
My guess is: the slap was intentional, the broken nose was incidental.

Hey, it's equal rights gentlemen...if a queer pinches you on the butt and you retaliate, you're going to jail for a hate crime. Broken nose or no broken nose.

It looks like some of these DUmmies support cold-cocking the TSA monkey at the airport.

Why did she not try throwing up or urinating on herself first before resorting to violence? after all that's what liberals recommend /sarc

Sweden is the model for what they want to do to the rest of the world.
No culture. No masculinity. No femininity. Just bland, lukewarm bowls of gelatinized oatmeal without much jiggle to it.
And a population who prides itself on blandness. But not too much.

I got pinched in the butt in front of a class full of people in high school, I had 2 choices, let it go and get a rep and every guy would be pinching my butt, or doing something about it, I gave him a right hook to the face, good reputation stayed intact LOL.

Agreed. For a slap to break a nose, the hand would have to collide with the nose at just the right angle. Difficult to do on purpose.

I dunno, I think just a pinch on the but or a grab, is not a big deal. I wouldn't slap or punch a guy for grabbing my ass. I would turn around, look him straight in the eye, and ask"Did your hand lose his way?"laugh it off and walk away. People are way too sensitive!!!

Sea, I like your style. You speak as a sober Lady and one that can mix anywhere at times you find yourself in a disconcerting situation. No problem for you, you just move away from trouble with a smile. You are a perfect running mate for a girls night out.
True there are so really odd males out there, woman who head out for the bright lights have no idea just how dangerous these males can become. To survive the first thing a woman needs to know is to never laugh or make fun of a male, NEVER insult them, do nothing to anger the male. He is a stranger who has been drinking and not in their right mind.
It is the woman that dress like floozies and intice the drunks that then get all upset when some man grabs them, then get upset over being groped and for some reason, they do not understand why they have the right to walk into a bar or club half naked and expect the men to ignore her. Why dress like that if she wants no attention, [ this is a controll thing ] This woman wants every man to want her but she has the right to choose what one she wants ?
Weird how this works, a woman has the right to dress as she pleases and go where she wants, into a place of horny men half drunk and the men will give her respect ????
No such thing as woman's rights to do as they please and get the males all up, excited. Men have rights too and and when a female stickes her boobs in the face of a male, even a dead cold sober male, what does the woman expect, a nice sit down for a pot of tea ?
