OK, but is this supported. In some cultures, it is much more acceptable for men to cry & show strong emotion. Is there less violence there?

An Indian family member was telling me that Indian men are much more emotionally expressive than British men but that she's much safer here.

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.

Gender comparison studies also almost always find marginal differences in a population which are later talked about as near absolutes.
