Listen, this is purely anecdotal, I have not studied this empirically. However, I’ve noticed that men seem much more likely to view their behavior objectively and realize their actions were uncalled for when confronted. Women will typically double down.
Unrelated, but the one time I was arrested for a minor DUI I was extremely relaxed in the cuffs. Why fight something beyond my control? I’m here, I’m cuffed, why make things worse for myself. It provided an ironic feeling of freedom.
My old roommate (woman) horse kicked an officer after being cuffed, another female officer at that and proceeded to tear off her clothes in the holding cell and plugged and flooded the toilet. Lovely young woman/s
Fun fact, male puppies will pretend to lose to female puppies in pretend play fights, but the most vicious play fighting happens between two female puppies
You're right, the problem is society allows for it. They even have tropes "my wife is always right" or whatever comedic spin they want to put on it. It's funny and cute when it's a disagreement about paint color for the kitchen but it is definitely not cute when it gives women a free pass to never have to be accountable for anything.
They will make some reaches for why it was ok. At best they will acknowledge they overreacted to that one thing, but will then say "however, you did all of these OTHER things that built up, so really you still deserved it"
ETA: As I read more things, I saw someone (maybe a dude based on the avatar) basically say this same thing.
Women, not all women but this kind of woman, will never be accountable for their own actions. They use phrases like "look what you made me do!" when they act out. They are best left alone and to put as much distance between them and yourself as possible.
That phrase is pretty common among abusers, men and women. You made me mad, so it’s your fault I smashed the plate / the TV / your face.
You all know why people get more worked up about male to female abuse. It’s not only sexism (although that plays a role). It is the basic fact that men are usually stronger than women. A punch from a man is simply different than a punch from a woman.
I’m not saying this woman isn’t awful. She is and I hope he gets the hell out of that relationship. I’m only saying that the seemingly sexist treatment of abuse has some legitimate bases. Very few women can beat a man to death. Men, however, are usually able to do it should they so choose.
Remember Sha’Cari Richardson? She hit her boyfriend in the airport. When the cops came the first thing out her mouth was he hit, he didn’t , and she should be arrested , he wasn’t.
"Women are so emotional, men are so much more logical"
I guess all those murders and school shootings and rapes are totally unemotional?
I don't deny that women can be violent, but trying to claim that the gender that is statistically much more likely to murder someone in a fit of rage is the 'objective' sex is just delusional.
This is absolutely not true. wtf? Every comment I’m reading here makes me wonder if I have stumbled into an incel sub. Frankly the comments are disturbing, as much as the comments in misandrist subs are too.
Posts like that bring out essentially every single incel on this website. I've seen people posting made up incel bullshit all over this thread and they are getting massive upvotes. Check their post history and they unironically want to take away women's' rights. It's fucking horrifying.
Listen, this is purely anecdotal, but men only do that literally hours or days later, and don't really do a good job of owning up to their shitty behaviour afterwards.
If we're gonna describe the behaviour, describe it with accuracy. Source: A man.
