Others defended the violence by pulling the equality card: "Women aren’t different from men besides in form," one user wrote. "You are an idiot not to see her as equal…If anyone starts a fight with you, one can defend themselves regardless of gender.”

But luckily there are still some people out there who understand that violence against women is never OK and that has nothing to do with gender equality. "You guys can try and use feminism as an excuse all you want, there’s no way a drunk ass girl could hit a guy as hard as he can her," another user wrote. "Especially when it’s a sucker punch to the face like that. That sucked to see no one did anything about it." Another student, a male, kept it short and simple: "Equality has nothing to do with hitting women," he shared, along with a photo clearly showing his exasperation.

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves, anonymous Yeti hero. We hope that the conversation this incident has sparked leads to more people getting educated on violence against women. The United Nations estimates that 1 in 3 women worldwide has experienced violence, and that 2 in 3 victims of intimate partner and family-related homicide are women. It's just never OK to hit a woman if you're a man, no matter how much you were provoked. We're not defending the college girl's actions in the video, we're just saying that two wrongs don't make a right, and that we're astounded by some of the reactions of this footage. Taking a punch is not feminism — standing up to violence against women is.
