Is it normal to expect a girl to be hit back if she hits a guy?
MY QUESTIONS:
Do you expect a girl to be hit back if she punches a guy? Even if he's gay or bi?
Was what he did justified or did he go to far?
MY KINDA LONG STORY:
It happened about a week ago I was going out with my boyfriend by tram (public transport). And me being bi and him being gay, we've heard from a lot of people that we do not look like the stereotypical "queer" couple, and have been mistaken for being straight a lot.
3 girls got on half way through our tram ride, and one started flirting with my boyfriend. Usually I'd be mad but I've gotten used to this and he brushes them off anyway telling them he's gay. But then she made a snide remark saying "you don't sound like a fag you don't have to lie".
He suddenly lost it and told her to fuck off. She reacted by shouting at him and cussing him out and taunting him to hit her saying "what you going to do about it hit me!?"
I tried to separate them by leading my boyfriend down to the other end of the tram.
But she kept following us and started cussing me out too. She then spat on me and proceeded to kick whoever she could but mostly got me since I was still trying to separate them.
I was planning to get us off the next stop, but it was too late my boyfriend had punched her in the face. She hit the ground but she wasn't bleeding just crying.
The tram was stopped and locked down for a while because someone had called the cops on us. We had to later explain what happen and my boyfriend volunteered to go to the station alone and took the blame.
Thanks to a witness he just has to take anger mangement classes and pay a fine for disrupting the public. Surprising the girl didn't press any charges.
Also I know were guys but no one gave a shit when she started getting physical(she was kicking us!)! People react differently when the genders are reversed. Someone could have gotten her off us so it wouldn't have exculated to a punch.
