ORIGINAL: hairpullinggal I'm sorry I do not agree. You may disagree all you want. The question is a legal one and more open to interpretation by judges, DA's and juries than it is "personal opinion". My own personal opinion is that being female does not make it OK to engage in assault & battery. Nor can I really consider this a "self defense" moment". Since most jurisdictions now consider spitting on someone to be assault, then yes it is a self defense moment. This is not a case of two people in a kinky relationship, and that is important to remember. It is not that much different from some stranger on the street deciding to spit on you. The answer to the "legal" question is left to police involvement, and as I said, since he committed assault, she was defending herself. Anyone who "hocks a loogy" on someone outside of a kink setting and then calls the cops for the response would be an idiot. It also would not likely be something that ever saw a jury.
