So, there's this show on Polish MTV called Warsaw Shore (in fact, Warsaws(w)hore would be more appropriate). You might have heard about it, as it is a popular formula based on Jersey shore, Geordie shore, etc.
Generally, it's a Big Brother kind of thing where a group of 20-year-old-something lowlives are put into a luxurious house full of booze (and probably drugs too, judging from their behavior), and driven around discos where they are encouraged to drink, fuck and pick fights. Although it seems impossible, after a few seasons those people become even worse, starting to believe that they are actual celebrities and act accordingly. I could write volumes about this rotten psychology but that's not my point.
What happens there regularly is women's aggression towards men (and other women too, not the ones from the house though). When they get drunk, they grow jealous of the men from their house (even though they are not their partners) and tend to attack men physically. And these are not just some harmless slaps – they actually punch them with all their might. Recently one of them punched a guy on the back of his head only because he was making out with a girl in the back of the car. That's just one example, but I took particular note of it, since blows to the occipital bone can seriously hurt you (or so I heard).
And the worst part of it? The guy got angry and called her a whore. Other women instantly got mental and started berating him (berating = barking random words in alcohol-fueled frenzy making it impossible for anybody else to say something). She started crying (crying = sobbing uncontrollably due to alcohol-fueled frenzy) and on the same evening he was apologizing to her because they made him believe he had done something wrong.
In another episode, one of these women attacked a guy with a chair – she thrusted its legs into his back. He lost it and little later pushed her to the ground. Next day he was out of the house and got labeled women beater on social media.
And here's the thing – if this is not some gross inequality, then I don't know what it is. If a woman attacks a man for no reason, a man should be allowed to hit her back. Simple as that. Maybe it is time to stop imposing this sick mentality, where men should be stigmatized for hitting women regardless of the context? Any thoughts? Oh, and no – I never hit a women and hope I'll never have to.

Well, what did you expect? Women are definitely treated more leniently when it comes to violence, that's for sure. But we have to remember that shows like this one are mainly examples of the downfall of culture. I assure you most Polish women don't beat their partners. :)
