    I saw one of those just before I left Reddit. A woman slapped a guy with her flat hand (they didn’t show you why) and he knocked her unconscious. And Reddit was celebrating the guy 🤮.

      Riiight? Like, women shouldn’t be hitting people for sure and there should be consequential. But men celebrating that women getting knocked out gives me the creeps. Honestly, if it was anyone substantially larger knocking out someone so much weaker of any gender or age it would be wrong. Imaging a body builder knocking out an old man or a small boy? Very wrong. I think everyine could agree there. But reddit just loves to celebrate this specific brand if violence on women.
