I think this notion needs to be re-visited on a
world wide scale since women are clamoring for
gender equality and such ,apart from that i think
women tend to ride on the fact that the society
at large tends to favor and support the purported
" weaker vessel " more when such a situation
arises ,and this has given a lot of women the
opportunity to abuse a man physically & verbally
and would easily get away with it especially in
the Western societies . my opinion
