This is obviously very upsetting. But I'd also like to know what y'all's answers would be to the question on this meme. This is not something I advocate for I'm going to be transparent about that, I've just noticed things like this a lot on the internet and want to gain some perspective.

IMO there isn’t much to discuss about. Hit me, I hit you back. I don’t understand why I have an obligation to take care of an aggressor who hit me first. I’m not saying immediately kill the other person but it should be at least equal to what I had to take.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a man, woman or even another species.

One exception: The person has obvious reasons reasons like alcohol or substance abuse and is not able to think clearly what he/she is doing.

My parents teached me to not hit people in the first place. This is also a very good strategy to not get hit 😉

Nobody should be allowed to hit anybody without consent. And men shouldn't be afraid of speaking up; abuse of men does happen.

That said, it's not the primary direction in which abuse happens, so I'm not sure this is a healthy way to highlight the issue.
