Please: only after you have voted in your poll, read the following:

Consider that we're talking about 2 people here, who are experiencing negative emotions towards each other. Anger and Sadness will be emotionally taxing for the other person to deal with. Aren't both their emotions valid? aren't both obviously having a difficult time with handling their emotions, the woman being sad and thus crying, the man being angry and thus shouting. aren't they both just in the process of working through their very difficult emotios? why is it that probably most of you will have thought the woman is the victim and the man is the violent aggressor here? isn't anger an equally valid and difficult emotion as sadness is? doesn't the man deserve the same empathy here?
