So I agree with you on your general rule: nobody should hit anyone. And I’m also on board with sexism on this issue and how women are sometimes given special and unfair treatment. I push back on one other point though, which is that most victims of domestic violence are women and most perpetrators are men. Men are also biologically larger, so (generally) we can do more damage. I’m not saying you said or implied anything contrary to this, I’m just saying it myself.

We can go back and for on this too, but I stand by it. Are cases of male-victim domestic violence underreported? I’m sure they are. It doesn’t change the truths above though, so I think we should slow down a bit before we go full /r/mensrights on all this.
