A boy decided to fight back against a female bully in class, knocking her out after she shoved him.

This article contains a video that may be upsetting to some, so continue at your own discretion.

While the attitude towards anyone hitting anyone (outside of a boxing ring) should – and usually is – pretty negative, the attitude toward men hitting women is far worse and for the most part, rightfully so.

With that in mind a new stance is forming, usually on 4Chan and Twitter, where punching a woman is somehow a noble endeavour so long as they swing first.

Obviously I’m not saying that men should just stand there and take it if a woman lashes out at them, but this whole “equal rights, equal fights” thing seems pretty insidious.


I guess I just want people to be nice to each other. That said, there’s a bigger likelihood of Stephen Spielberg announcing that Schindler’s List is in the same cinematic universe as Planet of the Apes.

A video that recently went viral exhibits this mentality with almost no context whatsoever, showing a boy and a girl squaring off against each other, both being provoked until the girl shoves the boy and a fight breaks out.

Like I say, if the situation is as black and white as “the girl was consistently bullying the boy until he eventually snapped,” then I guess fair enough, but we don’t know that.

The video was shared to Twitter with the caption “Ladies pls stop hitting guys & expecting them not to hit you back,” as if that happens a lot, but for all we know, the boy was equally culpable.

He did do the whole ‘bad breath’ thing, which is what led to her shoving him.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, with another boy lashing out at a girl who was physically harassing him in their school playground.

How everyone gon be mad at him??? If they didn't want him to eventually hit back they should've stopped it sooner 🤨🤦‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/M7Ymx1ETk0 — Best Fights (@FightCentralTV) August 31, 2019

The boy persist to keep her at an arm’s length as he backs away while the girl shouts at him, daring him to hit her.


Eventually the girl hits the boy one too many times, so the boy hits back with an apparent “open-handed slap”. The girl’s friend jumps in and starts attacking the boy, who hits her also.

At this point the crowd who were all happily watching jump in to defend the girls, including a teacher who seemed to be there the entire time.

People start threatening the boy who has since been suspended from school…

Just don’t hit people.
