My dad always taught me "If someone hits you, hit them back 10 times and 10 times as hard". He didn't advocate violence, but if someone's fucking with you then you have a right to make sure they don't do it again.

Maybe it's the reason I have trouble understanding "Reasonable Force". It's something I always debate with people. I'm not a violent person, meaning I don't inflict pain on the unwilling.

But to me, if someone grabs my arm in public, I should be able to do anything to them that I want, because in my mind, I have no way to tell how far they'll go and for what reason they're doing this. If I stop at shoving them back, how do i know two seconds later I'm not going to be socked in the face? If I punch them, how do I know they don't have a weapon?

Anyways, I do think people are pussifying their kids. People are too PC these days.
