“We demand equal rights!” “Don’t punch me I’m a girl!”
CORNWALL, U.K. – A 29-year-old man was arrested and accused of assault after an incident where he was violently punched and defended himself in return. The footage was viewed millions of times, and showed a blond girl trying to kick the man in the groin. Then she tries to punch him and he reacts by striking her, sending her through a glass pane.
A brawl ensued and sparked an enormous controversy, which The Libertarian Republic has waded into generally here:
WATCH: When is it ok to punch a woman?
Police told The Telegraph that the blonde girl seen in the clip was not arrested.
The fight aftermath
In related news, a video recently emerged from Iraq which depicts a woman who goaded her fellow soldiers into setting up a boxing match with her. The video describes that the female soldier was bragging that she could “whoop” any infantry Marine on the Forward Operating Base. The video appears to show the opposite however.
This seems relevant in light of the recent decisions made to put women into combat situations. Does this video do anything to change your mind? Are women just as capable of front line fighting? Leave your comments below.
