Re: Hitting a women
Some of those clips remind me of the time a boyfriend and I were walking passed a very long cinema queue and I spotted a couple in the queue who were having a barney and the chap was being very aggressive towards his girlfriend/wife and nobody was taking any notice ... I immediately stepped towards them to intervene but boyfriend pulled me back saying not to - "but he's hitting her - dooo something" ...
"Leave them to sort themselves out", was his response. I didn't date him again. However, I now think he was right.
I would have intervened in two of the staged sequences:
(1) because it looked to me as though the man was trying to drag the woman off somewhere and who's to know if he had a sexual intent, and
(2) Where the woman was obviously a very timid person.
