I can't believe you're defending someone who physically beats someone because they're seeing someone else.

  Look, what she did there was past the line. He clearly wasn't a saint here either, but physical attacks are a different level of wrong. I think just as in any real life story no one is perfect and there are no clear bad guys or good guys. Still, you can determine whether someone, as wrong and evil as they might be in this instance, were wronged other instances. Did she experience a terrible workspace at squarespace? It does seem so. Was what she did to "The Guy" terrible? It was. Does either what she did that night make what happened to her irrelevant or does it seem to suggest what her employers did to her was "okay"? That probably isn't fair.

    Office politics and verbal racism are terrible. But actually beating someone? Using violence against them and deliberately inflicting physical pain to get revenge? That's a whole different world of moral wrong, so much so that it's not really worth considering anything else.

      >But actually beating someone? Using violence against them and deliberately inflicting physical pain to get revenge? That's a whole different world of moral wrong, so much so that it's not really worth considering anything else. That isn't quite what happened. She saw the guy (who had recently told her that he loved her) kissing someone else. She slapped him out of shock/betrayal/disbelief. In the circumstances, her slap seems entirely reasonable. The guy was clearly a lying, manipulative bastard. I'm not sure what you're talking about regarding "inflicting physical pain" and "get revenge". Did you actually read the article?
