Interesting (video, 15 seconds). The poster of the tweet, “Men are Human”, captioned the video with this:
“The assumption is always that you [J4MB: He’s addressing women.] can be violent to men because they aren’t allowed to respond. Abusing this dynamic is how you end up with this.”
Being by nature risk-averse, women tend to confine their violence towards men (and towards women and children) to the domestic sphere. The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (PASK13) was published in May 2013 in the journal Partner Abuse and is the most comprehensive review of domestic violence research ever carried out. This unparallelled three-year research project was conducted by 42 scholars at 20 universities and research centres. The headline finding of the PASK review was that:
“Men and women perpetrate physical and non-physical forms of abuse at comparable rates, most domestic violence is mutual, women are as controlling as men, domestic violence by men and women is correlated with essentially the same risk factors, and male and female perpetrators are motivated for similar reasons.”
A key numerical result from the PASK review was:
“Among large population samples, 57.9% of intimate-partner violence (IPV) reported was bi-directional, 42.1% unidirectional, 13.8% of the unidirectional violence was male-to-female, 28.3% was female-to-male.”
The last point is worth emphasising. In the 42.1% of (heterosexual) couples in which one partner is always the perpetrator and the other the victim, the woman is TWICE as likely to be the perpetrator and (therefore) HALF as likely to be the victim.
A few of the many comments in response to the tweet:
“God put that log right next to him.”
“Women wanted equality so here it is.”
“This is when men take back power from the feminist bullshit!”
“Blame our father‘s generation for letting these women think they are the same as men.”
“…but did she learn anything from this interaction?”
“I was horrified to see a classmate beating the shit out of her fiance one day. I’ve never forgotten.”
“In the last 15 – 20 years the entire education system, every book, every movie, every TV show, every game, the media, and everything else you can imagine has taught women they are our equal physically. This is just one example of so many videos out there just like it. They believe it.”
“How did she not dodge that?”
“Don’t bring a stick to a branch fight.”
“Equal rights and equal lefts? Or maybe we could treat each other with respect? Nah, pass the popcorn, it’s fun watching feminists get what they fought for.”
“Knocked the feminism right out of her. cuuuuurakkkkku!”
