Violence against men by women

[rational_londoner]

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.

It made me uncomfortable to watch the video.

 

Great link! Violence by any gender is unacceptable.

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.

Whilst not minimizing the issue of domestic violence for men, it does seem to come from both sides of a relationship that engage in it. (Erin Prizzy)

 

However, this video demonstrates rather well the 'white knight' phenomena. Those ladies defending her would never have gotten their mojo on in a real patriarchy, since they know there would be many a suitor that will come running to their defense. Which is why any guy understands all too well that he cannot defend himself physically from the violent assault of a woman in public.

He can't defend himself in private either, because she could just call the cops.

I hate that bystanders are smiling, almost laughing, when it's the female going after the male. Turning a blind eye is one thing, but giggling is a whole 'nother issue.
