The double standards are shocking. If a woman says "if he cheated on me like that, I'd (fill in horrid genital mutilation)" and everyone has a laugh about it or cheers her on. If a man responds in kind, people are mortified, too shocked to even speak condemnation. Likewise for prison rape. It seriously troubles me how many people celebrate the prospect of that happening to male convicts. If you suggested it as a fitting punishment for a female offender, you might not even exit the room you uttered the words in unharmed.

One of my earliest memories of mom: Her in traction for two broken vertebrae, thanks to dad and a bakelite phone. Of all the relatives and friends who've been physically assaulted by someone close, about 99% were female and about 99% of them were hit by a male. The exceptions were older sisters and that ended when the younger sibling got big enough. Because size matters. I did 25 years with a profoundly abusive spouse and know a bit about being abused by women. To believe I was at physical risk would be a sad delusion to have. In my experience, efforts to marginalize the risk that men pose to women don't come from a place of sound analysis and good faith.
