Perhaps it’s the “helpless woman “ fighting back that makes you all “worried “. Can’t afford to let that idea spread. 

No...your comment describing what happened in detail was not really warranted and unnecessary. Just my opinion of course.

We have an expression that summarizes my thoughts on the subject: “Fuck Around and Find Out “.

You can’t understand because you have not witnessed my discourse with RLC on this subject over the past ten years. In the earlier days an apartment was more likely to be shut down because someone forgot to leave water out for their pet (this actually happened) than for violence against women. That has changed somewhat now perhaps resulting from conversation on this forum.

Bullying has a pattern I believe. What is often a victim defending themselves is described by the enablers as a “fight “. This description can make both parties equally responsible and sometimes the victim is punished twice. In order to avoid being punished twice (if they lose the initial fight, the victim should seek to overcome their perpetrator with great vigor. Since bullies only pick on people they think they can overcome a vigorous defense can often come as a surprise: hence the term FAFO implies a fate that awaits them all.

No i get it from your point of view that it's refreshing to see a woman standing on her own and fighting back for her pride but what i am saying generally is maybe RLC now censors such type of things is exactly because of what we used to see in the past should not be seen nowadays.

You may be okay with censorship but I am not. It’s about the environment that we are educated in. It’s also what most people of the world are struggling against. I was not raised where people thought that censorship was a good idea.

I would ask that the argument favoring censorship be reconsidered. It is illogical to me to suggest that those who did not see the altercation are somehow better off than those who did.
