If Reddit is any guide to go by I think we all know he'll never see any punishment for this.

Reddit also fetishizes women getting hit so it might be different in the real world.

I don't think that's true. From what I've seen, the more prevalent opinion seems to be "start shit, get hit."

So, not a hard on for women getting hit, just no tolerance for people that think they get a free shot based on "X."

There is definitely a bias against women, one of those Justice subs got shut down because it turned into a woman hating redpill sub.

So there's a bias in certain subs, sure. But reddit as a whole? No. For instance, it doesn't usually come up at all in places like r/wholesomememes.

Choosing to characterize the site as a whole based on the minority is completely unfair.

For instance, it doesn't usually come up at all in places like r/wholesomememes.

r/wholesomememes specifically states and rigorously enforces the rule of not having anything that's not "wholesome", so obviously bigotry, no matter its color is not going to be encountered there and if it is you'll only see it in the form of [deleted] comments or locked posts.
With that in mind, it's not fair to bring that subreddit as proof, similar to other subs (like for example lefty subs or subs specifically targeting women), there are mods who are pretty strict about this.
I used to be of the same opinion as you, but then again you see some folk who get too "happy" and "energetic" at the prospect of revengeful behavior, like a woman hits and she's hit back twice as hard, and then go ahead and dress this kind of behavior as "equality" or "justice".
The more I see it, the more I'm convinced that there are some people who are way into this kind of "thing", and if you look into these people's history and commenting patterns, most often than not you'll find very similar areas of interest.

Reddit wants men and women to be treated equally when it comes to the consequences of hitting someone. It only seems like fetishizing hitting women to people who think women deserve less punishment because of their fragility.

You speak like Reddit is one person

u/Ymir_from_Saturn Nov 05 '17

It's not, but there absolutely are trends that can easily be identified. Many of them having to do with fucked up attitudes about women.

Apologies, *Reddit as a community seemingly fetishizes hitting women.

Everyone on reddit is a bot except for you

That cop is black though

No punishment? I've seen cops get paid suspension (vacation) for less than what he did to this drunk girl.

I agree that paid suspension is bogus. However it will probably negatively affect any promotions or advancements in his career.
