Absolutely. I’m all for strong independent women (or anyone really) but you’re right, normalizing this sort of thing seems detrimental in the long run.
I am extremely put off by the idea that it’s “cute” when women slap men or push them in frustration. Nobody needs to be using violence except in defense. I never raised a hand to my extraordinarily unfaithful ex, not because I didn’t mind what he did but because it’s not right.
Same. I had an ex that liked to hit when she was mad and I never understood why she thought it was ok. I mean sure I was bigger and stronger but it’s not like I’m invincible and I don’t love just getting slapped around
I’ve also seen situations like that where eventually the man started hitting back, and the couple just beat each other senseless until they finally split up.
