what kind of a male dominated society that don't allow men to defend himself against assaults?
I'm referring to the reactions of the men who stepped in and automatically defended the woman against the man and assumed she was innocent and needed their help. So I guess there's two stereotypes at work here: the male abuser and the helpless female
Not surprising, but still fascinating to watch.I wish they had showed different scenarios.What if she smashed a bottle and went at him?Knife? etc.Blunt object to the head?How far would the crowd have let her go?I think one of the flaws with this experiment is that she was knocked down where he never left his feet(or got right back up).
Problem was he went beyond defending himself when he grabbed her and put her to the ground. That's now physical abuse as well on his part, period!
I would have jumped in and defended her because she was hot. I would hope I could get some appreciation from her after I helped.
Would you rather be a man or a woman?
Flat out being a woman sucks. You make less money and are the target of sexual come ons. And that's if you live in a first world country. Traveling alone is an issue. Etc.
Sure there are double standard but would you really want to trade with a woman?

Even with quotas and scholarships i would still rather be a white man.
As a woman you are more likely to be sexually assaulted. You are more likely to be beaten or killed by your partner. You are often looked down upon by men. If you turn down a man like you wait for it. She will be thought of as some sort o frigid feminist etc.
Women face a pay gap in**nearly every occupation.
From elementary and middle school teachers to**computer programmers, women are paid less than men in female-dominated, gender-balanced, and male-dominated occupations.

According to one site this disparity is over a lifetime so maybe they did get a scholarship but in the long run mem win.
Also the gap barely changed from 2003 to 2013.
Feel free to provide evidence to the contrary.

A lot of it has to do with they won't ASK for more. I had to encourage my SO to go for it on a couple of occasions. She has the talent and work ethic but needed the push to demand the compensation she deserved.
No one is going to hand it to you. You have to go get it.
I find it difficult to believe that teachers are not paid equally BTW. Between the union and the gender equality proponents to state that's still the case is probably proof of my contention.
No. That's not my point at all. What you just did was dismiss a legitimate point which I have heard from more than one source. That women when negotiating for initial salaries and raises are not as aggressive as men. And it's true. I'm not saying all obviously but the numbers go that way party because of that.
I'm not denying a historical imbalance but part of it can't be legislated. It's up to the individual to to get the higher end of the pay scale in one on one negotiations.
Take a look at graduating classes with a professional degree. There are more woman than men with exception of the hard-science, engineering, computer degrees. I see more women with low-mid range managerial positions than men. And these are quite well paid, 6-figure positions. At least what I've seen in the States
There is validity to this. I remember a study whereby female and male graduates of the same class were followed for x years. The main finding was that the men were more likely to negotiate a better starting salary than the women. Flash forward in time with pay increases due to promotions, etc. and the men were even further ahead of their female cohorts because their base salary was higher. An x% increase of this amount equals more than the same increase on a smaller amount.

As for the video, a good friend of mine witnessed what turned out to be a play fight between a couple in the street. He perceived it as real and crossed the street and clocked the guy. The girlfriend explained that it was unnecessary as they were just goofing around. My friend apologized to the boyfriend and invited him to punch him back to make up for his mistake. The boyfriend said it was not a problem as it made him feel better just knowing there are guys out there who would step in and defend her if the need arose.
Male abuse is no laughing matter, but unfortunately it is not always viewed in the same manner as female abuse. My sister-in-law works in the records dep't of a small, local police force and serious domestic male abuse happens more than you think, even though it is probably more underreported than female abuse. The video depiction may have it's flaws, but it still brings awareness to a very real problem in our society.
