A popular sub that regularly posts videos of people behaving badly in public has a highly upvoted video of two men fighting and a woman tries to intervene. One of the men punches her in the face simply for trying to stop the fight. And the comments? “She had it coming!” “Mind your own business.” “Equal rights mean equal lefts!” “It’s hilarious when women get hit for being stupid.” Literally not a single person there mentioned that this man assaulted two people. Not even in the controversial section.

A couple weeks ago, that same sub had a video posted of a woman telling a man to leave her drunk friend alone, and at one point, she gently places her hand on his chest to stop him from following them. Most of the comments were vile, hateful drivel about the woman’s weight and appearance, but there was a fair amount of people saying she “assaulted” him because “it’s never ok to touch a stranger.”

So in short, men being violent to men - ok. Men being violent to women - not only ok, but glorified. A woman even speaking to a man - UNACCEPTABLE. I feel like I’m going fucking insane.
