Men ARE taught from an early age don't hit girls. Boys and men who do are social outcasts for it. In a public setting men and women will step in to defend the woman.

And yet......women are still more likely to be victims of domestic violence.

Obviously societal mores are not an effective deterrent, otherwise we 1/3 women wouldn't be victims of domestic violence .

I'm not claiming that men do not experience domestic violence, or trying to claim it's not important to educate people the rate of violence men experience. I'm just saying that claiming more women are okay with committing domestic violence than men is just statistically incorrect.

None of the above is true about a woman attacking a man. In a public setting you'll see indifference or even coming to the woman's aid in attacking the man.

I think most people are taught at an early age not to hit people regardless of gender. Judging by the amount of down votes my response has, it seems plenty of people would be willing to ostracize a women who batter their partners.

There is zero social stigma against women being violent towards men. The assumption is always that he must deserve it.

Lol, then why are you upset? Are you not part of society? Societal views on domestic violence have changed pretty significantly in the last 30 years. I don't think anyone is really cool standing by and letting anyone beat their spouse in public.

I think you are relying pretty heavily on anecdotal assumptions about social constructs instead of the actual evidence we have available that proves women are more likely to be victims of domestic abuse than men.
