Escalating to aggravated assault is hardly a moral response, despite the aggressor being a sex pest. Maybe a serious shove though you’re still risking a court case over a scenario you could’ve just been more mature in. We don’t execute all criminals, they are afforded rights still. I’m not really interested in how you’d pardon and promote escalating violence out of stunted emotional intelligence.

A partner leaving you because you stood there while an aggressor rapes her is a widely understood and reasonable response towards you.
A partner expecting you to maul another man, risk imprisonment, and essentially put your life at risk for an act that could just as easily be brushed off (let alone legally expected to have a duty to retreat), just feeds into this unnecessary, excessive, and immature attempt at bravado, or to grasp at your own masculinity because somehow it should lower it if you don’t respond. It’s childish, and uncivil.
Again; I can level a response where either she backhands the aggressor, or her partner even shoves the man. But it’s not just illegal to respond with aggravated assault, it exposes a primitive and needlessly violent psychopathic behavior. It also normalizes “eye for an eye”, creating an excess and growth of more and more violent responses between parties and a society. A reckless father who finds his abusive son hospitalized, might turn to equally respond with violence to the originally innocent couple. It just doesn’t end on a large scale.
