    I listened plenty. Its all there, in writing, effectively immutable because this is the fediverse. I don’t think you did anything other than throw insults. I can provide receipts.

    Can you accept that if any one as an aggressor, including a woman, initiates violence, and especially, if that person continues to climb the escalation ladder, that they’re in the wrong? That it doesn’t matter what their gender is. If you or any one initiates and escalates violence, that person is in the wrong?

    Because from what I could tell, the thread was basically one camp apologizing for a woman initiating and then escalating a violent situation. No one making the accusations of misogyny or sexism could really address the fact that the aggressor in the scenario, self-acknowledged being the aggressor and initiator in her Facebook post. She said she did what the people saying that she was the aggressor did.

    Apologism for violence is reactionary. No gender or sex has a monopoly on violence. The aggressor or initiator is the one who is wrong. The one who steps up the escalation ladder through more extreme forms of violence is wrong. The one who tries to de-escalate is right.

        What do you mean by a lucky guess? I’m unclear what you mean. Also, you’ve made no case. If your case is “I believe I’m right, therefore I’m right”, I genuinely hope the woman involved doesn’t take your advice or share your worldview, because if so, she’s going to be in trouble with the law.

        From what I could tell, you are apologizing for gendered violence and promoting a sexist world view that removes women of agency when it comes to the use of force and violence when it comes to the escalation of use of violence.
