If you saw a woman hitting a man or berating him, would you stop her and tell her off?

Assault is assault. I'd also call for help. If I had to exaggerate the situation, I would do so. A smart man knows if he so much as lays a finger on a woman, even to defend himself, his ass is grass. Verbal assault is just as aggressive and violent (that I have experienced; thankfully no physical abuse).

Without knowing the situation calling the law is probably the best thing to do. She may have witnessed a pervert assaulting a young kid, who knows. If a couple are out to dinner and the man is attacked, oh well I say slap B****h back.

I called the police one night, while witnessing a woman being very violent towards a man. They asked who was fighting whom. When I said that a woman was beating up a man, they responded that he can probably take care of himself.

They didn't ask anything about size...I'll add this...she was considerably larger than he and by my observation, much stronger!!! Talk about discrimination...wow!!!

Any assault is sickening to me,i would not personally get involved as i am sure the guy could restrain her if he really had to.If i seen a man hit a woman i would have no hesitation in intervening .

I guess that is a 'No' then. She can be violent and you would take no steps to stop her.

So, there IS an excuse for violence, daren1, if it is a woman doing it?

Personally, I can see the point in not intervening when a woman is being violent, as she is very likey to make a false allegation against you.

As for men being stronger than women and 'should be able to take care of himself' (not your arguement, I know, but raised by some others) I fail to see how that is anything but an excuse for women's violence.

It is also blaming the victim.

Men are excoriated from childhood for even thinking about hitting a woman, but girls and women seem to have little social approbation when they hit a male.

Some of the responses on this question are eye opening but all too common.
