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.

Actually it DOES matter what a woman does. In my world, all human beings had best treat each other with respect, or it's time to clean some house.
A woman sprayed mace at my brother's, then fianc
I didn't say it doesn't matter what a woman does.
I basically said that men are under an obligation, because of their relative size and strength, to behave with restraint.
There is of course a word for a woman who attacks a man in an unwarranted and unprovoked way with the intention of causing harm. It's called assault.
I don't think we need to fear a world where men are constant helpless victims of attacks by women. If anything, imagining such an unlikely thing just sounds like a series of excuses for men to act like violent animals toward women.
In this case she got banged into a wall and then when on the ground, kicked. By an NFL player and athlete.
The fact that some can turn THAT into a discussion of how men can be victims too just strikes me as being way too weird.
