"Millions of people lambasted Will Smith not so long ago for doing just that."

Wasn't that due to the fact that he acted in a way that looked as if he actually cared to defend his woman?

afaik it had nothing to do with violence but more against having personal honour or pride and thinking of one's woman as him alone and having a sacred relationship with her that anyone insulting / degrading her is directly insulting the man, and that idea triggers the feminists to the moon and back I guess.

"even if said speech meets the Chaplinsky definition of "fighting words", that does not exonerate or justify one man's violence against another." Then what is a man supposed to do? go to court over an insult? be rude and start a shitshow of exchanging insults? take it and move on? wait for the other party to initiate the fight? or what?

I am not a westerner by any means, just curious.
