No, but there are differential physical dangers involved.But they should… b/c men are victims too.
Contrasts in stature does not excuse abuse. /IMO
statistically, women are far, far more likely to be hurt or killed by men than vice versa, and base rates are extremely important when determining probabilities. See, for example, https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/vio.2019.0005I think the bias usually benefits the women, and rightly so as men are generally so much stronger than us. But, woman are dangerous, too. LE had to go with what they saw, and what Brian and Gabby told them.
Maybe the moral of the story is that it is NEVER acceptable at any time and for any reason to raise hands at each other....this leads to escalation in emotions....and DANGER.
