Suppose the ‘what-if’ brigade can’t get a break here. There is indeed the double standard of treating women equal to men only when it suits, and not always, and within the confines of a patriarchal pseudo-feministic ideal. Had the person been a male, or carrying a weapon, or intent on doing harm, we’ll never know... but certainly if there was a risk of danger that was averted the throat-grabber would be hailed a hero, not a massive stain.
I don’t agree to violence against women, because I don’t agree with violence in general. I am more upset at violence toward a protestor, than violence toward a person.
Besides, maybe all of this shows the narrow-mindedness of the media and keyboard warriors; whoever said this protestor identifies as female?? How dare we assume their gender.
