Thanks, I think what you experienced was empathy so it's good to know you have some. Quite rightly people reacted to the sight of a woman being abused by a man, but the video highlights the acceptance of the opposite. This is also the area I worked in for years so I know these people are smart and well educated.
A really interesting video showing the attitude of violence against men by women filmed in Fitzrovia, London - the 'creative industries' centre of London and hence home to some the most well educated and intelligent men and women in the world.
