It seems to me that violence against women is often judged as worse than violence against men.
It feels to me that violence against women is discussed much more strongly in society than violence against men.
To me, it often seems as if violence against women is automatically considered more severe than violence against men.
But shouldn't both be evaluated equally?

I mean, in many countries there are extra women's parking spaces, women's taxis, or women-only train cars, etc.
But there is nothing comparable for men.
Isn't that actually also a form of discrimination or sexism?

Just imagine the following situations:
A) A man hits a woman
B) A woman hits a man
C) A man hits a man
D) A woman hits a woman
A) A man hits a woman
B) A woman hits a man
C) A man hits a man
D) A woman hits a woman
Which of these situations is judged by the public as "worse"?
Logically, all scenarios should actually be evaluated equally.
In reality, it is almost always A.

People often say that men are physically stronger.
But is that really a fair excuse for this unequal treatment?
Violence is rarely a fair fistfight. A knife, an object, or the element of surprise make physical strength completely irrelevant.
And who can even measure in doubt how "strong" someone really is?
Is strength just an excuse to deny someone protection?

Statistically, men are frequently victims of violence, but they are rarely viewed as needing protection.
This double standard makes male victims invisible.

But maybe I am completely wrong about this?
It could also be that I am just misinterpreting things.
Do you see it the same way, or am I wrong here?
