In the news today it was talking about President Macron and the recent incident that was seen on the plane where she pushed him in the face after what was a “discussion”

It said that this has really gone un noticed from the point of view that if he had done it to her it would have been all over the news as him assaulting her

Without turning this into a “bun” fight are there different standards when it comes to this or should it have been called out and reported exactly the same if he had done the same to her

It’s a difficult subject to convince people on.

Very good friend of mine was constantly abused by his wife, physically and using the children as leverage.

She ‘presented’ well so no one would believe him.

After she hospitalised him it had to be taken more seriously.

Yes there are different standards when it comes to DV.

Whether that is what this was I don't know

I’ve been thinking about double standards a lot lately. I’ve realised that yeah, there are different standards and sometimes that’s ok.

Women don’t pose the same physical threat to men, as men do to women (unless using a weapon). Pushing someone in the face is not the same thing when it’s a woman doing it to a man with very little impact.

Is it acceptable behaviour? No. But is it really that serious ? No. Unless it’s a recurring thing and he’s being psychologically tormented by it.

But if a guy did that to a woman obviously it would be different. He’s stronger. Doing that is an act of intimidation and harm when it comes from someone stronger than you. If it’s from someone weaker it’s more an expression of frustration.

That’s my long winded way of saying that there’s nuance to things, and that’s why there are differing standards.

^^ that's why men aren't taken seriously when they report it.

A man suffering female inflicted DV is equally as much a victim as a female suffering DV inflicted by a man.The fact that a man is stronger physically than a female is irrelevant. A man suffering DV is very often not able to defend himself. DV can also be verbal abuse ect ect. If a woman commits DV to a man she should be subject to the same scrutiny and relevant punishments as a man committing DV is.

Men reporting DV must be taken seriously...

Also anyone thinking DV is only M on F is very much mistaken.

Aside from the assualt thing, if you watched the full video she literally just playfully pushes him away.

There is no nuance to it, no one has the right to put their hands on someone else whether in anger or frustration, man or woman.

To be real, the fact that she’s a bit noncey for their relationship has also gone under the radar. Not sure why.

In terms of how the incident has been reported on, I’ve seen it talked about a lot on social media but I’m aware that’s an echo chamber

All over

Why would it matter what sex you are is beyond me. If you are an abuser, that is what you are and should be dealt accordingly. What would you say if it was a guy abusing anotber guy? They are just guys, let them fight it off? Or two women, weigh them up and see who is bigger before you decide whether is serious abuse or not? Abuse is abuse, whether physcical or mental and is inexcusable. There are of course lots suffering in silence but hopefully they will find the courage to speak out and must be heard whoever they are.
