If she lashed out she would have been perfectly in her right to (It may have been a good way to make an example in an attempt to make people think twice about doing it again like Rihanna did), but no, it wouldn't have been unclassy. Just a hostile reactionary response - an instinctive reaction to a threat if you will. Unclassy would be something like spitting in someone's face or getting in a full blown scrap.

Agree with all of this, I think uhoh-ohno's point was that women in real life are frequently told they're overreacting if they respond angrily to someone groping them without their consent, so he probably assumed the same thing was being implied by all the people praising Bey for being gracious towards the fan.
She definitely handled it with class and grace, but I would've flipped out and not feel sorry about it. Overzealous fans need to keep their emotions in check.
