I was thinking about to post this question often but was comfused about how to summarise it, how to post it correctly. Today, I am trying it.

Today, if we look around then men's actions have been criminalised, even the smallest action can become the serious crime and I am ok with it if it's affecting our society. But, whenever I think it the other way, means when I see a woman doing the same action it's not a crime. Many countries still don't have laws to protect men from domestic violence, sexual harrasment, abuse or assault. If we look back in the history these laws were especially made for women only to protect them from men, I thought it must be men at that time were violent and there must not be any violence by women against men but it was obviously wrong. While reading the story of an Indian saint 'Sant Tukaram' I got to know that his wife used to beat him with sugarcane sticks, used to abuse and harass him. However, it often romanticize but it makes clear that violence against men by women were there in the past too. Then, why in the past domestic violence crime used to be seen as crime done by men only?

In today's time too, mostly men's actions get criminalised when it's against women, like sometimes even looking or staring at women can be a crime but I didn't see women face any challenges with same behaviours.

What do you think about it?
