It's hard to tell what goes through some people's heads when they do something that common sense should tell them people aren't going to like.
It's one thing to get some extreme body modifications or say something provocative. Other people shouldn't get to police how you look and sometimes they need to hear uncomfortable truths.
That can seriously violate people, not in the least because it could inspire the understandable fear that they may be assaulted.
And that's a lesson that one man learned the hard way, if he learned it at all.
As her Instagram page makes clear, she's been training for at least the past two years with particular emphasis on Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu.
Vieira is a trained, professional fighter... Not just a girl with a tough attitude.
If it wasn't already obvious that he was masturbating, Vieira told reporters that he was "visibly erect, making noises and groaning" by this point.
As The Mirror reported, they were just there to take some swimsuit photos.
In addition to her hardcore fighting and training videos, her instagram page is full of bikini shots from her travels around the world.
As Deadspin reported, it was initially unclear what he was doing, but it became more obvious when she saw that he had pulled down his swim trunks.
When she told him to stop a second time, he didn't deny what he was doing and said, "Why, you don’t like it? Come here."
The man punched her in response and the situation then escalated into a fistfight.
As Vieira said, "The punch made me even angrier. I wanted to kill him."
When asked if she would like to see him in jail, she told The Mirror, "Yes, because he could be the same way he was with me with someone’s daughter or granddaughter."
“It affected my life, more because I had that reaction, I didn’t put my head down and I faced up to him!" she said, explaining how it affected her.
Vieira said, "When the guy saw that it was going to get real, he started screaming."
These screams apparently alerted a passer-by and the man ran away once this person intervened.
As Deadspin reported, he was charged with sexual harassment, but has since been released.
In his statement, he said he wasn't masturbating on the beach, but urinating.
Although The Mirror reported she has regularly faced sexist attitudes in the MMA community, this is the first time she has experienced this kind of harassment.
As she said, "I’m a feminist and after all this, I’m going to embrace the cause with everything."
