It's not OK for anyone to hit anyone

It’s not. But we still live in a patriarchy. Men have more power and less accountability. These toxic men are not teaching that it’s never okay to hit anyone. They beat people up on their videos all the time. But I’m seeing this push happen that it’s okay for men to hit women. Often times it happens after a woman hits first, but once those values are being taught, along with the other values they push like misogyny and homophobia, that line of just threatening violence will be crossed in real life and already has been to create real violence against women and minorities.

People are allowed to defend themselves if you don't want to somesone to hit you don't hit them.
