    The old man was in the wrong, and he was a victim of violence.

    The old man was in the wrong and didn’t learn shit. He was not a victim. He made an unacceptable choice.

    When your kids are the ones being touched, I hope you tell them the truth: that you personally encouraged their abusers.

        My parents hit me before I could think. Instead of stopping them, you’re defending their mindset.

        Fuck you. Children are people.

          So are old people. Everyone’s people. The golden rule covers this. Are you going to condone violence just because violence was done to you?

            The golden rule covers this.

            Put yourself in the girl’s shoes. I would rather not be touched by random strangers. I hate the fact that stupid, selfish internet people have normalized my lack of autonomy. I hate you for being a coward while feigning moral superiority.

            Are you going to condone violence just because violence was done to you?

            Literally yes, it’s called defense. Would you let yourself be killed instead of fighting back? The old man was the aggressor. It would be wrong to let him act that way with no consequences. I care more about victims than their abusers, personally. If you choose not to fight at all, you’re choosing to help the abusers.
