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.

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 nothing wrong with gender differences. Men are not broken for less prone to emotional expression & displays of weakness.

The individual man might find it a problem & then he must be able to defy this expectation and be supported. Men don't all have to.
