Domestic violence video: the double-standard debate, part 1

• Is there a double standard in how we react to man-on-woman versus woman-on-man violence, and is it justified?

A host describes a street social experiment in England where bystanders intervene when a man threatens a woman but laugh when a woman attacks a man, plus a graphic claiming 40% of domestic violence is woman-on-man. He admits his 'sexist' first reaction: he doesn't consider a woman shoving a man real domestic violence, and asks whether the double standard is justified. David Shedlock distinguishes the civil government's duty to treat cases alike from interpersonal instinct to protect the weaker. Dan tells an MMA cage-fighter story to show he shares the double standard. Dave Herak asks whether chivalry plays in, prompting the Titanic 'women and children first' analogy. Boova argues there should be no difference at all — hitting is hitting — while the others say their differing reactions track the real difference in likely physical damage. Ends with the KTIA radio break thanking David Shedlock and promoting the book on Amazon.
