The tyre iron scene doesn't ring true for me.

What man would do nothing and pussy out and do nothing as a woman smashes his car's lights out?

I wouldn't have got out of my car either as she was acting like a total nut job! I would have driven a little bit up the road and then called the cops, if she tried to leave I would have followed her at a safe distance until the cops came. Better than getting walloped on the bonse with a tire iron!

I don't subscribe to the idea that one shouldn't hit women simply because they are women. In certain circumstances, women absolutely deserve to get whalloped, and this is one of them. I would have gotten out of the car and pushed her, and if she raises her tireiron, then that would get me rights to sock her, and I would.

presumably , in the film , she was smashing the guys car because he'd raped her?

In that case that invalidates the guys rights on fighting back or not having his car smashed - he's already in the wrong.

So if you commit a crime you are then a valid target for more crime? Yeah no that's not how the justice system works and you know it.

True, it wouldnt be legal.
But it'd be morally right ,in some circumstances , depending on the severity
especially if the real justice had failed , as i believe it did in the film

He did not. It was actually just road rage on a random guy she had never seen before in her life.

Let’s back up. This is just preposterous, lazy writing. Who sits honking behind a lone car on the roadway and gets upset?

Then, who watches someone approaching their vehicle with a lug wrench and waits around to see what’s going to happen?

Also, was that guy just some random victim? I didn’t see anything in the story that would set him up as a predator of any kind.

Actually, golf club scene. I think it was a subtle jab at the infamous Tiger Woods fiasco.
