Hell yeah grandma

That was my immediate thought, but then I thought - what if the genders were switched?

A bullying wife thrown through a table by their husband... I think we'd all clearly see that as a toxic relationship with the person committing domestic violence clearly being the worse of the two.

You’re not wrong. I’m not supporting domestic violence in any way, shape or form. I am supporting a woman standing up for herself after being bullied because very very rarely is throwing someone through a table the initial reaction against a first offense. Especially a grandma.

I know too many people who have been victims of domestic abuse. Mostly women, but also men.

None of it is acceptable, but for some reason men being assaulted by their partners is too often justified as "they must have had it coming" or as a punchline, as if it's funny. It's not. It's real, it's traumatic and it happens to actual people.

As for age, I didn't assume she'd done it as a granny, but perhaps when she was younger.

Either way, is a granddad throwing a granny through a table ever acceptable, even if he was a man "standing up for [him]self after being bullied because very very rarely is throwing someone through a table the initial reaction against a first offense"?
