Methinks that if any of the guys did that then the forum would explode with debate about violence against women. I do not think Jeph really wants the cast to be beating on each other that much.

Leaving a bruise and requiring an ice pack IS injuring. It's not about the person being "a little sensitive" to pain. That makes it sound like it's the punchee's fault for being hurt and they should "just be tougher". Coming from someone who bruises all. the. damn. time. from even the littlest stuff: bruises suck. They are tender and sore and can take forever to go away. Just because Faye's group of friends seem to not have that much of a problem with her violence doesn't mean that her behavior is okay. These people aren't doing anything that truly justifies the non-playful violence she's inflicting upon them. If a guy takes sexual advantage of a falling down drunk barely cognitive girl, and all his friends don't have a problem with it, does that make what he's done okay? No, it does not. Faye is a bitch 98% of the time to 99% of all people but any time someone throws it back at her she gets intensely defensive, acts wounded, and lashes out violently. If I was Faye's friend, it would certainly piss me off. She'd hit me too hard just once for sassing her back and she'd get a fist in her jaw. And I'm not even a violent person, really.

Yes it does.

The friends don't matter in this situation because they aren't the ones being acted on, the drunk girl is and how she feels about it is what matters.

Well, at least Hanners is there - she knows from personal experience the methods of Hard Rebooting a person. :-D
So, does this mean Malaysian Battle Spatulas at 10 paces?

Unfortunately, that's the double standard we live with today. Girls can give a hard hit and not receive one back without serious accusations that should've been thrown at HER first. I'd like to see Jeph challenge that though (I am a lady by the way).
On a less serious note, I have friends who rough house (to the point of bruises) constantly. They enjoy it. If Faye is really doing this out of play, Angus should start 'playing' back.
