No, that situation isn't equal and the problem stems from men not wanting to report these incidents due to like you just said, "I know I would laugh at that."
Just because an average woman may be slightly physically weaker than an average man doesn't mean she can't do serious damage, whether it be mentally or physically. The problem here is that men think their too tough or that reporting abuse from a woman is suddenly going to take their manliness away.
Now this isn't the mens fault, it's more based on the media and what we expect from a man (strong, both emotionally and physically.) but is this going too far when we find it funny when a man is being abused by a woman?
My opinion isn't wavering, again I only think violence is right if you are in a fight or die situation, such as someone pulling out a gun on you or someone running at you with a knife.
On the sports thing I can understand why some women would want that, and to be honest if this was accepted some woman would be able to play on par with the men, but a majority of them wouldn't due to either their body shape or lack of strength. Again though there are woman who are stronger and could probably play a sports team with men fine, but there are not many that could do that. I'm kind of on the side on this, but I think it really would never get accepted. There'd be an outcry if TV showed a woman being tackled or something to the ground by a man (which again is all the medias fault.)
Is domestic violence against women solely an issue involving men?
