As Bill Burr said (paraphrasing); "Ladies, if I can admit that there are some animal men out there who just start swinging for no reason and should be buried under the prison, can you ladies at least admit that every ass-kicking doesn't just fall out of the f**king sky?"
In other words, yes there are some abusive men out there, but there are also plenty of women out there who indeed did provoke what happened, they push buttons, usually deliberately, (not to mention hitting first), either expecting not to be hit because they know, even if feminists won't admit it, that men ARE taught not to hit women, or because they /want/ to be hit.
That doesn't excuse the hitting happening, but there is /usually/ some back and forth that goes on before it happens. But they start yelling "victim blaming" without admitting the "victim" does in fact bear part of the blame.
