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)

And when people lash out, it's often at whatever is closest. The privacy of relationships also contributes. (2/x)

But when men kill, they kill men 75% of the time. Assaults are similar. So it's conditioning toward violence, not sexist violence. (3/3)

I'd love for you to prove that violence is culturally conditioned rather than culturally inhibited. It seems crazy to say we condone this

Could it not be both? I see the conditioning toward it as a vestige of premodern values and conditioning against it as modern.

I'm so bored of cultural conditioning arguments. It's all we've been looking at for 50 years now. Consider biology every now & then.

I absolutely do consider biology as one factor. I find biology denying intersectionalism and Jordan Peterson equally myopic.

Biology can neither confirm nor deny intersectionality. This is a cultural theoretical approach to cultural phenomenon.

Not sure where Peterson comes in.

His ideas about gender are stupid in the opposite direction from those of absolutist biology denialists.
