I see your point. A man showing signs of disrespect to a woman makes him an animal but a woman showing signs of disrespect to man doesn't seem to earn her a label at all.
Because the situations are not symmetrical.
A woman showing disrespect to a man is occasion for the man to show restraint and walk away, because he is going to usually be bigger, stronger, and with more body mass.
A man showing disrespect to a woman out of some sort of uncontrolled pride/ego thing is assaulting someone weaker and smaller. That's whether they initiate the assault or in their own minds "deserve" it.
You start making excuses for anything other than walking away, and yes you endorse men being animals.
Get all fussy about how the women don't have bad names for their behavior in that situation and it starts to get surreal. Like, men think they're entitled to anything, no matter what.
I've been in a situation or 2 in my life where a woman lost her temper, rightly or wrongly, got in a jab or something like that. Because I was taught right growing up, I knew my next move was toward the door. I could give a damm if we had a bad name for her doing it. To even desire that sounds pathetic to me.
