Actually, this has more to do with unchecked violence by women against men. Women are allowed to punch, poke, pull and slap men and not get called on it because they are supposedly “the weaker sex” and don’t hit hard enough to injure anyone. And men are loathe to complain because they’ll just be ridiculed and laughed at. the men aren’t allowed to hit back either. They simply have to “take it like a man”.
Doubt me? Watch how many acts of violence women commit against men on television - just in the commercials alone.
The CBS Evening News could do a three-part investigative series on the subject but somehow I doubt it would ever make it past the Managing Editor.
What would have happened if the male staffer had "playfully" slapped her?
