Dude, seriously?!
I'm fairly confident this isn't a case of sexism. I think the story here shows a fucking asshole regardless of whether there is a dick present or not.

True, guys wanting to get back at girls would probably elicit a different response to this, but that isn't the point here. The ex should have manned up and made sure ladyintheradiator was ok at the very least: if strangers in the street can stop and intervene for someone they don't even know, why can't he even bother?

ladyintheradiator - I hope by now you've realised what to do. If not feel free to gaz.

If someone who nominally cared for me treated me like that, it would be over in a shot, whether they were drunk or not.

Maybe
But someone has to keep the ideal alive. I'm not saying it isn't perhaps naive and the situation is, I'm sure, more complicated, but if a friend or someone I was supposed to be dating called me up and said they had been attacked I'd be there regardless of the situation. If that makes me some 'comic book hero' then feel free to call me Batman. I don't think my attitude in this will change...

So that makes it okay to key his car?
Or carry out any of the other 'helpful' suggestions above? Sure, he was being a twat, but no more than that. I hope the original poster is smart enough to ignore the sociopaths above, and big enough to dump him and move on.
