I often hear that violence against women is normalised, and yet I, like most men, only ever had the exact opposite drummed into me from the earliest possible age.

As a boy Id hear the familiar: never, ever hit a woman, relentlessly, and without compromise, as if violence against the male half of society was somehow more acceptable.

So& how is it normalised?

And if it is, why then, when there are public acts of violence against women does it so often trigger an avalanche of bystander yells and interventions&

Yet when a woman is violent toward a man in public, we instead see finger pointing smirks, scoffs and laughs?

I mean, we all know what happens to men who commit heinous acts of violence toward women when they go to prison  they have to be sectioned off for their own safety, because even behind bars, their actions are not accepted.

In fact, other prisoners will line up and gladly add time to their sentence, if it means they can enact justice on behalf of a woman they dont even know.

So, is violence against women really accepted and normalise?

What does the data say?
