    She very clearly tries to grab a drink out of his hands as he’s picking it up. He then, yes, throws it into her face after it started to spill (she’s grabbing at the bottom of the glass while he’s holding the top, so it sloshes out). She then aggressively steps up into him to slap him (right hand up, coming down to the left). She pushes her back, then steps, aggressively into her space (she’s already on the ground) with a right front kick to her right hip, putting her on the ground again.

    She gets up from this as he’s trying to de-escalate by leaving the situation (he picks up his bag and phone, is heading away) and she picks up a weapon (a bottle). He then throat punch/ pushes her back to the ground, and continues to leave the situation.

    She initiated the conflict, and at I’d say 3/4 escalation points where the conflict escalated, she initiated the escalation. She grabbed the glass out of his hand (initiation), she stepped into his space to slap him (escalation), he front kicked her to the ground after she was trying to get back up (escalation), she picked up a weapon as he tried to leave (escalation).

      LMAO

      he front kicked her to the ground after she was trying to get back up (escalatjon)

      Holy fuck. The dumbest and most vile shit on the planet. You’re describing a woman standing up after being knocked on the ground as an “escalation” of force worthy of being kicked by someone twice the size.

      Fuck you, dude. Fuck you SO hard. Worthless piece of shit.

                Feminism to me is about equal rights and equal treatment. I guess maybe you are against that, which is really your business, but if you’ve confused yourself to understand that feminism means that the woman is right in every situation, it does a disservice the real struggles people through for equality in this world.

                If you were to swap the genders of the two people in this footage, and don’t come to an identical conclusion, and I don’t think you’d be OK with a man stepping into a woman face and slapping her after she throws her drink in his face (I know I certainly would have a problem with a man acting as aggressively to a woman, as this woman has to this man), you are acting as the barrier to a more equal world.

                  Equal rights is when you give a woman a concussion for rejecting you on the second date and grabbing(?) your(?) drink

                    You’ve got a mental disorder if you can’t have a conversation with out devolving into this kind of absurd projection

      Looks like we watched the same video but have different judgment about when the “attack” started.

        Well switch the gender roles and see if you come to the same conclusion.

        A man goes to grab a drink from a woman’s hand, and as it spills she throws it into his face. He then steps into her space to slap her, and she pushes him back across a bench. She then steps into his space to kick him back to the ground. She grabs her phone and bag in an effort to leave, while the man grabs a weapon (a bottle) and brandishes it aggressively. She then throat punches him and he goes down. She continues to leave.

        If you can’t go through the same scenario with the gender roles reversed and land on the same conclusion, you’ve come to the wrong conclusion.

          Same conclusion. Throwing a drink into a person’s face is assault but just grabbing for a drink isn’t.
