She knows they won't retaliate because there's a massive double standard when it comes to woman on man violence

Err yeah, because men never hit women do they...

They do, and it is quite rightly condemned by society. But a woman hitting a man is still seen as something funny, or that he deserved it.

I don't think that, do you?

Should that not depend on the circumstances, rather than outright and outdated gender inequality?

However that discussion is going on in the Lounge at the moment.

That's the best streetview image I can find, for some reason it won't let me go down the road itself.

I caught my 11 year-old daughter doing it in a photo the other day. I asked her if this was the look she was going for?



She seemed genuinely horrified.

The pubs are full of them all pulling the pout, photo after bloody photo. This current generation must be the most narcissistic bunch I've ever known, nothing else even comes close. I have a couple of cousins who are friends on instagram, and there are literally 100's of close up portraits of them pulling stupid bloody duck pouts. The best bit is when they're on holiday. They could be anywhere in the world for all I know as all you see is their bloody face again!

Same for Google Earth also.

At first glance it looks like a back alley but on birds eye view it appears to be blocked off, by what is unknown but 2 cars parked there.

It certainly doesn't look like a typical "drive" to me, more like a blocked off version of the rear cobbles on the Coronation street set etc. I think londoners call them "rat runs" due to no cctv.

I don't think domestic violence is funny. But some people do

Only reason to drive round those parts is to get to the chippy at the end of Mill Road.

Oh, don't get me started on Instagram. My daughter was telling me how she had "200 followers" the other day. I asked who these people were, and apart from a handful of school friends and family (probably making up 20 of them at most), she doesn't actually know. But it's 200 followers, and that apparently is a good thing. When I asked why it was that she wanted all these followers, she couldn't actually give me an answer, except to say that all her friends compare follower numbers, and there's some sort of competition going on.

The question of course is whether this generation is any more narcissistic than we were, or whether it's just that the proliferation of social media gives them the easy, always-available outlet for it that we never had. That cockiness and self-obsession of youth that we expressed in school or in our peer groups can be demonstrated far better and easier over social media, and in a myriad of ways that we wouldn't have dreamed of. I honestly don't know the answer.

This isn't really a question, is it?

Such questions never are. Generations of humans are not fundamentally different to each other, it's the environment which results in different behaviours.

This video doesn't really hit where its aimed though. A man getting beaten up by a woman has a choice, a woman getting beaten up by a man doesn't.

By inadvertently making an excuse for it you're proving my point. Physical strength is not related to the ability to being the victim of abuse.

Read up on it, it isnt that simple by any means.

Ive seen a male domestic violence suffer who's body was covered in cigarette and electic iron burns. He had also been hit with bottles etc. This went on for over 10 years he would not report it as he believed that no one would believe him as he was a man. He was not able to walk away, not everyone can, male or female

Completely irrelevant but that's filmed just outside my company's London office.

Indeed. Also the previous generation have always had a tensancy to look down on the next and declare that everything is going to the dogs.

Apparently the law doesn't think it's funny.

I think you all need a whoosh parrot. I'm not condoning relationship violence, I'm saying why I think some people think the video as funny.

Both men and women stay in abusive relationships for many different reasons. The video simply highlights that the general public see men as less vulnerable.

In reality both have a way out. Its just that in the society in which we live the two are not treated the same. But they both have a way out, its just different.
