Why is male self-defense against violent women judged so harshly in Western culture?

Question

No matter how violent a woman is, a man will be called a woman beater in the west fot hitting her in self defense.  I think it's ridiculous.

I think it probably depends on several factors. Like for example this happened the other day near where i live. And i would say yes, the initial response was a guy pushed the woman too far and she stabbed him. But i think that's simply because men are typically physically stronger than women. A woman knows she's at a disadvantage physically. So unless she's desperate she's not going to engage a man physically.

But once you listen to the clip you see she stabbed him while he was sleeping (which still potentially could've been a defensive move based on longterm abuse). But if you listen to the reporter (because the way report it MATTERS). The reporter said "she said she stabbed him based on an argument that she believed they were having".

Now in this particular case i heard a woman who knows this woman's mother. And she says this woman in the clip has suffered with mental health issues for quite some time.

i think men typically being the stronger gender physically are just expected to be able to absorb whatever a woman throws at him. I think in most cases guys consider it a non-issue. But i think good women still hold an abusive woman to account for her actions.

We’re nowhere near as “evolved” as we like to think. Women are still valued over men under every social and political standard. Men are only ever valued for their willingness and ability to produce, provide and protect. A failure at any given one can mean marginalization, but a full reversal makes you a liability. A man should be willing to sacrifice his life to protect every single woman on the planet. Merely letting a woman do something dangerous is cause for alarm, but when you defend yourself, you automatically become the villain 100% of the time.
If a woman is actively trying to kill you, your only choices are as follows. Die, be the b*tch boy who runs away from little ol’ girls, or go to prison for defending yourself and be violently raped until some other sweet, fresh piece arrives on the block.
Welcome to your “male privilege”! 😂😂😂

Size and strength disparities, but personally when it comes to self defense? Fuck her up. Beat the fucking brakes off any man or woman who wants to cause you harm.

Oh it certainly is however because a man is naturally stronger than a women it is taboo for a man to hit a women even in self defense naturally I do believe if you play stupid games you win stupid prices but hitting a women is against everything I’ve grown up believing so I will not do it

Because the ruling classes hate men so condition them to be violent toward others worrying the rich while not wanting them to get to above themselves so get women to take men on to push them into traumatic situations.
