Women abusing Men in Public: ABC Primetime

ABC Primetime: How would you react if you saw this happening?

White, middle aged straight male and you'll be lucky if anyone believes you if you've been discriminated against or attacked. You aren't a typical "victim" group ergo you must automatically never be a victim.

Just because you're not as likely to be a victim doesn't mean you are incapable of being a victim.

Thanks to rasch for promoting this fascinating sift.

I think this was a fallacious study though, insofar as they are trying to display a double standard. The people intervened in the case with the man abusing the woman not exclusively because it was a man abusing the woman. Rather, it was because the man was OVERPOWERING the woman. In the case with the woman abusing the man, she was absolutely not overpowering him. to the bystanders, she just looked like some borderline-ish fiery redhead and he just looked like a chooch for not walking away. The way she was going about it was absurd, and he was like reading the newspaper and shiii during it. So this experiment was not REALLY that telling. For it to be a proper role-reversal, the woman would have had be significantly stronger than the man or would have had to have a knife or something.

That said, having dated a semi-abusive woman for a long time, I can understand how EMOTIONALLY damaging someone like that can be, so don't think I don't understand the nature and seriousness of that kind of abuse. Its just not the samee, though, because I could always walk away or overpower her in order to get her to stop. Anyone who thinks that such a case is just as bad a a man abusing a woman is fooling themselves.

I do think tha ladies who called the cops did the right thing, though, because the guy was not doing what was in his power... to stop it. Also, they were both disturbing the peace.
