I’m with seismic-2 on this one. Knute just physically assaulted Les because Les decided he was going to go to the bathroom in the men’s room regardless of whether there was a woman in there or not. Maybe what Les did is not the epitome of gentlemanliness, but he was well within his rights and he was certainly within his rights to defend himself when Knute assaulted him.
That’s not how this works. That’s not how any of this works!
