Its not the worst. I'm just highlighting why the experiment means nothing. You cant make any conclusions about gender because of the differences in the way they behaved in this "social experiment".
You cant be like 'oh they ignored the lovers tiff, but they stand up against men who border on actual physical violence, therefore men are treated worse'.

No constant in an experiment = no real experiment = no conclusions.

It would have been interesting to see a weak looking man lightly shove a stronger looking woman with loud claims of her texting someone else before she pelted him to the ground with harrowing yells.

That would be interesting to see the reactions of that.I'd like to see that video.If the woman was bigger in stature than the man.

I had the pleasure of seeing that once. I was walking down the road with my friend who just happens to be a big black woman who works as a security guard. As we passed this guy he started verbally abusing her. We walked on trying to ignore him but he persisted and even started following us whilst shouting his mouth off. She suddenly stopped, calmly looked at me and said, "excuse me one moment" before walking up to him and with one strike putting him on the deck. He didn't fight back but I think he realized he'd met more than his match.

I mean i would love to have seen that.She didn't take any ****.
However now imagine that your friend is a big bloke and a smaller woman was walking down behind you and verbally abusing him and he turned round said 'excuse me one moment' and gave her one strike that decked her.....
Do you think your reaction would've been any different?

Yes..an equal experiment would prove the point that this one is attempting to prove much better I think.

Though it does seem to be acceptable for women to hit men. On TV you see it all of the time...often in a 'funny' sense too.

I only see that being used in a funny sense when the female is obviously weaker than the male, and the punch is used playfully.
I dont think many would see comedy in a female bodybuilder punching a skinny nervous looking male.
I think it will be hard to find a decent comparison, but I'd imagine people would react similarly

Oh yeah, usually big men being slapped by much smaller women and such I agree.

Still think we shouldn't normalize it to the degree we do though
