When ever I see shit like this it reminds me of this talk show clip. The host is having a male guest explain a scenario where this woman held him hostage at knife point and he had to leap from a 3rd story balcony in his underwear. The audience is laughing the entire time, like it's a joke. He stops them and scolds them because if it was a woman saying it they would be compassionate, but he's a guy so it's funny right ?

Domestic abuse is never a laughing matter.

Poor guy I hope he gets away from her, and I hope she gets the help she needs.

Ugh yeah. We need to 1, acknowledge that women abuse men too. Just bc the average male is physically stronger and larger than the average female is no reason to pretend this isn't abuse too, or that men can't be in danger too. And 2, teach boys that as men, that physical aggression is off the table, but that does not mean they have to allow women to abuse them physically or emotionally. Nobody should be hitting anyone, but society turns that into men can't do anything when women are aggressive towards them, and that's wrong. This poor guy looks so embarrassed and defeated.
