In reply to the discussion: 7 Signs That a Woman is Cheating [View all]4th law of robotics
(6,801 posts)women are no more or less prone to irrational attacks and reluctance to apologize than men.
They are however more accepted by society when they do.
/get mad and punch your wife, spend the next five years in jail. Get mad and punch your husband, spend the next 5 minutes laughing about it with your friends. We have a major double standard when it comes to violence between genders that cannot be explained away with mere physical differences (a very large and strong woman may be stronger than a weak man to the degree an average man is stronger than an average woman. However we would still view a large woman beating a small man differently than we would an average man beating an average woman, despite comparable disparities in strength/size).
//likewise if a man starts verbally abusing a woman in public there's a good chance he will be beaten up. A woman verbally abusing a man in the exact same manner will elicit snickers from onlookers and jokes about "what he must have done" to deserve it.
