Search Results: abuse, weak, fear

How do you feel seeing this:


Does she seem so strong, independent and confident smacking her disrespectful ex husband?

"He deserved it for how he treated her!"

What if the roles were reversed? Would he be a strong, indepent, confident man for hitting her while confined / disabled in a wheelchair?

In fact, when I went to find images of men hitting a woman in the same manner, the only things that mostly appeared were "abuse" or sexual oriented BDSM type things.
The serious slaps were still women hitting men - (though my search words were 'man hits woman'.)

Its glorified for a woman to hit a man, but unequal in a sense that men can not slap the hell out of some rabid shrew, in the same manner.

I use "shrew" to indicate women who are being abusive / unruly in a sense of being a threat to him or his family. Or, who "deserves" it for treating their male counterpart so disrespectfully.

Issues of this double-standard:

1.) "Women are taught to fear men"

*Impressing that men can not hit a woman, reinforces the idea that women should fear men.
*Women would learn to defend themselves, not assuming all men will keep that pseudo-boundary.

2.) Encourages violence against men, takes away their voice:
*Even police officers have defended a shrew for assault, assuming it was the man at fault.
*Men are judged as always wrong for hitting a gal, even if it was necessary.

"A real man NEVER hits a woman."

3.) Men suffer psyche / emotional difficulty in dealing with abusive wives but having no leverage.

"Women are WEAKER so if she hits you it doesn't matter - be a MAN."

So its okay for a man to take abuse, but not a woman? In what dimension is that ethical and fair?

4.) Women are a dangerous threat too.
*A woman killed her SO by pushing him down the stairs /stabbings /shootings/head trauma etc...
*A woman can hurt or threaten a man's wife, child, pet or home.
*She is a FAKING SHREW.

All opinions welcome :)
