this idea that real men don't hit women is dumb honestly. what do they mean by "real men"? are they saying it isn't part of masculine culture to attack women? that it's feminine to hit a woman? thats stupid.
it's part of hyper masculine culture to beat up, hit or sexually assault women. i've read how
rapists often are hyper masculine and hyper-masculine men are more likely to attack or beat up women. in fact,
studies show that men who conform to being masculine and masculine characteristics are more likely to beat their wife. men who aren't into being all manly are the least likely to beat their wife. look this up if you don't believe me. real men DO attack women. real men do that all the time.
tough guys always do that shit. that's why domestic abuse is a common crime among athletes. tough guys don't worship women and show love to them.
men don't beat up a woman because they're afraid of beating up someone their own size. that is NOT why they beat up a woman. they usually do it for different reasons. many men who beat their wife or other women probably also would beat up another man, too.
