Reactions to women hitting men (xpost from r/videos)

I first saw this video when I came into the MRM about 4 months ago. It's pretty devestating really.

I want to say something nice here about women - I think that the two women who intervened at the end of this video are great! Women like these really make me believe that there is hope.

I've asked myself the question, "what would I do if I saw a guy being abused like this." I'm not sure. As a guy, I'm more likely to face a false accusation (the two women who did intervene wouldn't have this issue). Before I would consider doing anything, I would have to capture video evidence of the situation first.

This video is pretty substantial evidence to the claim society cares nothing for the safety of men, as though it would be hard to find evidence to support this, but I would sincerely love to see someone try and justify people's indifference to abuse of males.

This video could even be used to substantiate the claim that society actually supports violence against men.

I'm actually really shocked at this video. It makes me sad to think that not one person tried to stop her from hitting the guy and they were content to sit back and call the police.

"Good for her. You go girl."

Fellas fellas fellas. You're all totally misinterpreting this video. You see, it's because patriarchy. In an equal society, female violence would be taken seriously, but patriarchy, so instead women aren't treated as credible threats, therefore patriarchy, and do you have any idea how negating it is to have no one take you seriously when you're doing your best to hurt someone else? No? Because patriarchy. /s

This is an amazing video. Very revealing and goes a long way to explaining why the domestic violence statistics might be very skewed. I'm reminded of the rape apologists. "Well, she was wearing very little clothing, so she must have been asking for it." The girls in the video did the exact same thing: "He cheated, therefore it was ok."

I'm curious to know how the people on the feminist thread would react to this video.
