@realtegan in my completely uneducated opinion, this falls under the “fighting words” exception and I’ll hear no arguments to the contrary

Yup. This. I'm with you.

If someone threatens you with violence, all bets are off.

Not every woman can fight back.

Not every girl will want to.

Pick your battles, but stop telling victims, "oh, you should just take it. Sticks and stones and all that." Fuck that attitude. They want to RAPE. They are threatening you. You are allowed to fight back by whatever means necessary. Which includes physical violence *if you are up to it*.

@realtegan also, they need to know that saying this will get them kicked in the nuts, at least sometimes. And that lots of people will be on the side of the person kicking.
