Well stated! But to build on that, that should be already known and understood by everyone, so at some point isn’t it a case of “fire hot, don’t touch?”
Like with the facts stated as is, it sounds like a woman would have to be stupid to attack a man with such a power discrepancy, so from this moral argument, you just have an attacking woman being controlled by their feelings of anger vs an attacked man being controlled by their feelings of self defense. Why does the physical facts matter at that point? Might makes wrong? Just because the man is born stronger his feelings aren’t valid?
The reason we speak legally is to remove the feelings from the equation and make it as dispassionate and logical as we can.
But obviously it’s a big murky mess because the law isn’t wholly blind to feelings and motives.
