This is possibly down to the fact that men do fight all the time and people are fairly used to it as an occurence (one of the joys of testosterone). But it is not about what the general concensus is on the matter, it is about reminding yourself that humans should treat each other with respect, male or female, regardless of how the media portray things. In my view violence is violence and anyone who enters into it should be ashamed of themselves.
i agree starman that using violence is not aceptable but the question i answered was you should not hit females, giving them more imunity than a male? and even when the spice girls were top of the bands remember they went on stage and give the girl power threats to a male competerter yet people cheered and no critism was heard? small point i grant you but gi ...[text shortened]... re imune from any come back as the same by a male would of had the papers screaming blue murder,

does not the media shape our views some way, as the newspaper you read genraly gives the view they think there readers agree with so giving the reader a moral stance and self justification, or tv does this not have panels giving a view that the people who watch find acceptable, so as with war reporting they give the nations view and truth goes as the first casualty. a bit off the track but the genral principle is the same.
