A lot of people genuinely believe women aren't even capable of being aggressive, but they are completely wrong. Women and men have fundamental biological and psychological differences, this leads to differences in our behaviour, in particularly in this case, differences in the ways we express aggression.
Men are on average more physically dominant and we're on average psychologically more predisposed to physical violence, therefore, we manifest aggression and anger through physical means, e.g. fighting. Women, on the other hand, are not only on average physically weaker than men, they're not as psychologically predisposed to physical violence (on average). Does this mean women don't express aggression? No. Women express aggression for different ways, primarily through what I call "Social Violence". This is the violence of turning other people - society, against you in some way. At the smaller level, this is a woman spreading a false rumour about someone around the workplace. Maybe a guy rejected her and she was hurt so she told everyone how he's gay. Women have higher Social IQs than men on average and they also value social relationships I'd argue, more than men, so it makes rational sense why'd they'd choose this avenue.
Another example, on more extreme levels. Blackmail. A woman may get dirt on a man and blackmail a guy she really doesn't like or even hates. This is more on the psychological abuse (Another thing women tend to do which is not talked about) side but if she'd carry through with releasing the blackmail it would be social violence. Depending on how bad the black mail material is, that act of social violence could lead to legal consequences for the man. It's the same with false rape accusations, for example, it's another form of social violence, albeit an extreme form. False rape accusations are the ultimate act of social violence a woman could commit. We all know the consequences of that, may I not even list them right now. Legal consequences are essentially rooted in social consequences, society will either find you guilty or innocent (the jury), the judge a human part of society could be biased against you. It's society (police men) which can lock you up and throw away the key, taking away your freedom, or fabricate evidence or guilt you into false conditions. I'm not trying to portray society as an enemy of men, but it's just bringing awareness to social violence.
A more everyday example of social violence could be a situation in which a woman thinks a man at the gym was taking pictures of her. I've seen stories of guys who were taking pictures. However, I've also seen stories of guys who we're innocent. I saw a story on Reddit the other day of a guy who was accused in a public gym by a woman of taking pictures of her. She came in his face with her phone, recording him and everything. Now ask yourself. Why is she recording him in a private gym? Cause she's returning the favour and making him see what it feels like? No. Cause she's worried about her safety? No. Her intention was "I'm going to record this pervert and upload it online for everyone to see!". Whether it's justified or not from her POV, it's still social violence. The guy ended up being innocent btw. It's true though, look an apps especially like Tiktok, when certain women post certain things think, "is she angry at this person?".
Speaking of Tiktok, it reminds me of time I saw social violence live in action. I'm from the UK and I saw this tiktok post from a young woman in her early 20s. Essentially, a man had cat called her and she was recording him, screaming at him in the broad daylight in the street, she kept following him and by the end she had kicked him once in the back of the legs. The video ended. Ok, probably shouldnt have kicked him at the end there but it was somewhat justified. The caption read something along the lines of: "MEN ARE PUSSIES. LETS START FUCKING THEM UP IN THE STREETS". Obviously she received mixed comments. However, one guy was commenting multiple times, albeit he was pretty respectful. He was mainly talking about how she shouldn't have got violent and let her anger get the better of her. This woman is a law student fellows. Keep that in mind. This woman responded to that comment with a tiktok of an email draft, about to be sent to the guy's university, it was a pretty vague email but she used feminist terminology such as "victim blaming", she even referred to the tragic death of Sarah Everard by being murdered which occurred here in the UK a couple months ago. It was such a professional, politically correct email and then you look at the caption of the tiktok and its all hatred, smugness, "Got ya now". Social violence. Cancel culture.
That guy may have gotten kicked out of university I'm not sure. I sent a sort of counter email explaining the full context of the situation to his university but I didn't get a response. Not sure what happened to him.
Point is social media is often a particular utility for women to express their aggression through social violence. Not all women of course.
The problem is social violence is generally socially acceptable. Physical violence is more frowned upon. Men who are victims of social violence are barely cared about. False accusers don't get punished. Mens reputations get damaged or destroyed, legal damages aren't needed to cause harm, a damaged reputation is harder to heal than a chronic illness.
