Mine had the unfortunate last name of "Pigman," and he was a bit heavyset with an upturned nose. He was OK, from what I remember, but it led to lots of fun times.

Mine's known as Black Lightning, because he's black and his last name is Lightning.
What are you going on about. It's called sarcasm and while I know it may difficult to convey over the interwebs, I trust you now understand that almost nothing I say on this site is serious.
I feel like everything until the speech about rape culture was true. Before that, it is what I might have done and something that many other girls would have. I doubt that she could have broken his nose so easily.
We don't know for sure, but after the punch, it doesn't seem likely. I am a girl, and have recieved real training- not "my mum taught me how to punch people properly".

It's still a form of training, and her mum could have trained
Regardless of the action taken by the male student an incident involving physical violence is still punishable in schools. That being said she over reacted a fuck ton if this is real. If someone is bothering you and your first response is physical violence then you're in the wrong.
Well--and I preface this with a mention that I don't condone violence at all and that the punch would be a bit too far if this is real--it started with her shutting him down and then leaving. So, she was willing to walk away and let it be. If the story is true, he grabbed her and pulled her back. That's a no no. You don't grab people who are trying to leave. Don't do it. Nuh uh. A broken nose is definitely too far, but a slap to the face would have been warranted. Don't grab people, of any gender. If a person is choosing to walk away from you, that's it. You put your hands on them, you're inviting something more than a "no."
Ok guys lets assume this is real, (i know, assuming is a no no right?) What do you see in movies when the boy and girl have a argument and she tries walking away, the boy pulls her back trying to prove that he really does love her and yadayada. We dont know that the boy was trying to harass the girl maybe he just wanted to prove to her that he likes her instead of just rolling over because that isn't how shit gets done. Now we have an innocent boy who is trying to show he likes this girl and what happens? He gets punched in the face for it humiliating him and fuckin up his reputation which could lead to all sorts of problems. So if you guys think its okay to just go and punch someone for trying to prove a point, you are whats wrong with the world.
Boo hoo, his poor reputation. No. She told him no, and he should be done with it. It's not like some shitty romance movie where he goes "WAIT!" And tells her everything and she kisses him immediately. That's not how it works, pal. A girl says no, you leave her alone. You do not fucking grab her and pull her back.
I can kind of believe it up until the point where she starts lecturing the principal. (Anyone else annoyed by the author's terrible spelling of the word?) From there it just becomes an overly exaggerated mess. Especially the clapping.
In terms of the overall topic of the post? I think the feminists are going too far by saying that catcalling counts as rape. Catcalling is annoying but it's far from actual rape, and by counting it in they're discrediting and silencing actual rape victims. However, I think the guy should've expected it. I'm not saying he deserved it, but he should've expected it. See, being a woman basically means that you live with the knowledge that almost any man could overpower you at any given moment, if he wanted to. This knowledge makes us… a little jumpy at times, and someone using physical force,in which they have a clear advantage, on us may result in a spontaneuous reaction. Even more so if she's already experienced some form of harrassment or sexual assault.
As a girl and a feminist I think she had no right to punch the boy. However the boy had no right to grab her and pull her back. But punching in that situation is overreacting. I don't believe that violence solves these situations. She could've managed the situation with her wit and use of her words. As the talk to the principle shows she's quite good at expressing herself.
Honestly, I actually believe it ( could have) happened. When I was in high school ( 12 years ago) , this kind of thing happened more than you'd like to believe. Teachers bullying students, students occasionally losing it on said teachers, other teachers having to come to the aid of said students.
Shit is not uncommon.
LET ME TELL YOUR BITCHES ASS OUT: I've been raped ok? It was ok? No. It was mentally damaging and it is a scar I will always bring with me. A different man would have acted differently? Yes, for sure, men are not the same just as people on general differs in so many ways. The point is, teach EVERYONE that rape in wrong, that it is against life and that it causes so much pain to both parts. Rape culture involves men and women in equal parts. Teach your kids that there is nothing to be ashamed of, that they can tell about it, that is not their fault if they have been violated. Teach your children to respect others. Don't teach stereotypes.
