I was thinking about this on another thread, but in films and TV programmes there's a hideous double standard. If a guy hits a girl, he's abusing her and he's a despicable human being. If a girl hits a guy, it's perfectly fine, nobody bats an eyelid, if anything they cheer because she's been "empowered". Why do we all act like it's alright? I mean, the examples are everywhere, even children's things. Like Doctor Who, you can guarantee that when he meets his companion's mothers, they'll slap him. In fact, his companions are always slapping him too. River does it constantly, and he's just like "Yeah, I deserved that." We need to stop pretending that if guys mess up, that gives females a right to hit them. It doesn't, and young girls shouldn't be growing up with this belief. In Harry Potter, when Ron comes back, what does Hermione do? Start hitting him with a bag! I know it's fictional violence, but children still watch it and they're going to imitate it, aren't they? I know it's up to the parents and teachers and whatnot to teach their children what's right and wrong, but I think everyone had that stage in their life where they emulated their idol, and if that idol happens to be a woman who's constantly slapping guys for saying something offensive or making a mistake, what kind of message is that? Basically, violence is wrong regardless of who does it.
