I think they probably know that the news reports unusual events. There's no 'Man takes his mother out for lunch coz she's feeling a bit low'

There's always more than one variable. In this case, a cultural difference in the acceptability of violence against women and children.
-
Yes & I'm not sure how this could be any less acceptable in the US or UK? Much longer prison sentences, Have to segregate in prison.
-
In films, if a woman slaps a man, its funny. If a man slaps a woman, we know he's the villain. It's just not culturally acceptable.
-
It's crazy to say we have a culture that teaches men to be violent against women & girls.
-
We have a culture that teaches men to be violent, period. And it does also have some degree of chivalry thrown in on top of that (1/x)
-
No, not period. We have a society which notices that men like physical contests more & when criminal, engage in violence more.
-
There is evidence that men cry less easily than women coz of tear duct differences & that they find talking therapy less helpful generally.
-
That women are more drawn to social interaction & to finding psychology interesting. And that they find emotionally weak men less attractive

I agree men shld be encouraged not to be ashamed to talk abt feelings & admit vulnerability but don't know how much difference this wld make
-
Males are much more violent in all ape species. We mitigate this to a huge extent by expectations they won't be & penalties for being so.
-
But I suspect that when men are abusive, it will always be more violent than women whose abusiveness is often verbal & psychological.
-
Last time I looked up data on this, rates of violent abuse by men were higher but not monolithic, and psychological abuse was about equal.
-
I don't think psychological & verbal abuse is measured. Men don't &can't report every time a woman says something cruel or goes on for hours
-
I know I saw a reference to a study somewhere. I'll dig. The takeaway was it's about equally perpetrated, and mutual more often than not.

Agreed, not to be rude, I don't like the idea of a man approach a woman for a date, I rather think that the other way works better .....
