Category:Double Standards: Female on Male Abuse

Unlike male-on-female violence, which is considered unacceptable, female-on-male violence is played for laughs and is always played as an unfunny joke and a desperate ploy for attention. The thing is that in most works where this trope is in effect, it would be completely impossible to imagine the same violent situation play out with the participants' genders reversed without a large dose of drama getting added into the mix. Let alone rooting for this trope to just die away and become forgotten.
