There was this guy who used to work where I do currently. Apparently, he'd worked there before, but left for a few years and then came back about late 2012. He was, quite possibly, the jackass to end all jackasses. He always put down everyone, got in peoples' faces if they didn't do something the way he wanted them to, put off doing work and/or shoveled most of his stuff onto me, and he was a very opinionated far-right kind of person, with all sort of whackjob political theories that made my eyes roll out of my head several times a day. Even worse, one time he once proudly proclaimed he'd hit a woman in a fight, saying that if she swung the first punch, he'd have no qualms punching her back, if not harder. After I got in his face about something else, he whined about how everyone at work "ganged up" on him and how he was a victim, basically.

He also had a tendency to blow off coming into work until late in the mornings. Rainy days? He'd be in at least 2-3 hours late. Light snow on the ground? He wouldn't come in at all. This kept going for the year and a half he was there, and despite everyone's complaints, the Boss didn't do much of anything. It wasn't until, I think, last December, that one morning, the guy came in late yet again. Not long after he started his shift, the Boss asked to speak to him in his office. About 10-odd minutes later, the Boss came to the backroom and announced that the guy would "no longer be working here" and that one of the other guys would be taking over receiving.

Needless to say, it was an incredibly awkward experience as he all but stated the guy was fired, but some of us started singing the Happy Days theme song during our lunch breaks, haha.

I don't know what happened to him since then... and quite frankly, I think that's for the best.

Even worse, one time he once proudly proclaimed he'd hit a woman in a fight, saying that if she swung the first punch, he'd have no qualms punching her back, if not harder.

idk, I think if someone punched me in a fight then I wouldn't feel totally unjustified in hitting them back (although trying to detain them would probably be the better option but one that isn't always available. Some people get fucking crazy when they come at you), regardless of their gender. I wouldn't go out of my way to hit them harder though

yeah but if this guy is the kind of person he sounds like, he's not so much thinking in terms of actual equality so much as he has a beef with women in general and would be gleeful at the chance to "teach her a lesson." I've never met someone like this irl but I've run into a TRUCKLOAD of them online. They usually like to pretend that it's a "men's rights" issue and go "equal rights means equal fights" and openly fantasize about breaking some female facial bones if a woman ever lightly slapped them for being rude. It's disgusting.

I wasn't really approaching it from a gender equality standpoint as much as a "I'll use force if it's necessary to get someone to stop attacking me" standpoint, but I see your point and you're probably right that their co-worker is that kind of person

This. Obviously if ANYONE starts a fight with you, you do what you have to do to put them down, that's a given. Guys who go out of their way to talk about how they'd beat the hell out of a woman who hit them, though, really just want to talk about beating up women.
