Assault

[flexibeast]

i just came across this article about a straight guy attacked by several dykes:

A man who was beaten and stabbed after a street fight with seven avowed lesbians testified Wednesday that he thought he was going to die after they jumped him last year.

"Avowed lesbians", eh? i'm sure that the use of "avowed" wasn't an attempt to give a subtext of "Yeah, we hate men, and we're proud of it!" :-P But how did this situation come about?

[The victim] said that as the women walked by, he spoke to one of them because he found her attractive. Buckle said a heavyset woman in the group said something rude.

Oh yes, that's right, i forgot: we all know it's impossible for heterosexual men to quietly find someone attractive; indeed, they have an obligation to approach that person and say something to them. And then, too, women should obviously just accept the compliment, regardless of the fact that it's come from a complete stranger whose opinion they may well not give two hoots about. So there was no need for one of the women to be rude! :-P

"She just started dogging me out, being loud and disrespectful," he said. "I think I called her an elephant and told her I wasn't talking to her."

Yeah, because hitting on strangers in the street is in no way disrespectful itself, and making sizeist remarks should in no way inflame the situation.

Buckle said she spoke disparagingly of his looks and clothing, saying he was wearing cheap sneakers.

"Unfair! Just because i called you an elephant, doesn't give you the right to criticise my looks!"

Meanwhile, another woman spat on him and he spat back.

The women surrounded and attacked Buckle, he said.

And finally we get to the point of incommensurate response on the part of the dykes in question - the first point at which it seems to me that they went too far. On the other hand, the article is dominated by Buckle's version of events, and i think it's reasonable to want to know the dykes' version in a bit more detail than the article provides.

More fundamentally, i wonder whether this news outlet goes into this much detail for every reported hate crime against queers . . . . ?

"She just started dogging me out, being loud and disrespectful," he said. "I think I called her an elephant and told her I wasn't talking to her."

*presses sarcasm start button*
Oh yeah, obviously the first mistake this woman made was reacting to what he said by being loud! Women are not suppose to stand up for themselves! They're supposed to take whatever this guy says and be grateful that 'God' himself has graced her friend with his attention! The utter disrespect of this woman! How dare she!

Secondly, she should have been amazed with his level of maturity in calling her an 'elephant'! I mean, this is top quality comebacks, full of wit and intelligence. They should have been in awe that they were in the presence of the reflexes of this obvious genius!
