Yikes, that tweet! So yes, more confirmation that he sees smaller women and knows his body is intimidating. So he uses it to get what he wants.
But yeah, clearly he must have felt this protestor - wearing her high heels, her dress, holding her phone, walking by - was a threat to him when no one else at the event did and was just trying to “escort her out”. /s
What a disgusting man.
What is it with people here and in AIBU claiming she was holding some mysterious “something” in her hand, anyway? It is all very obvious to anyone who takes 29 seconds to watch the video it’s a phone...same for all those alleging she pushed at him, has a “mean look”, and so on. If you are going to try and gaslight people that this was an appropriate reaction at least watch the video first.
I am equally disgusted by the gaslighting as the number of people supporting this man’s actions or this kind of reaction in general. And falling all over themselves to do it! The hatred for women and the condonation of men “being intimidating” to get what they want (be it stopping music being played or stopping a peaceful protest) is palpable. You can call it “managing a threat” or “frogmarching” or whatever else: the video, and her own report of the incident where she clearly highlights she was scared, hurt, and trying to diffuse (saying she would walk out on her own!) show it was the violent act it was. Which Field intended it to be, you know, because he knows his body and size are “intimidating”.
