I would like to bring up the point for you to consider that Men and women may be equaly horrible to women, but men being horrible is still socially and legally acceptable.

DA

Women abusing/bullying/being horrible to other people is much more socially and legally acceptable, though. So much so that most people think it's no big deal/totally okay/impossible that a woman could be an abuser.

The majority of abusers are men.

Not by several recent estimations - it's much more likely to be pretty even. Considering female abusers almost never get reported and emotional abuse is not as easily proven, it's no wonder that so many statistics make people like you think what you said is true.

That's absolutely not true, though? The glass ceiling is a thing, yes. But women are almost never called out or brought to any sort of justice when they bully/beat/otherwise abuse someone, unless it's a child. Men are assumed to be abusive on such thin evidence as a woman's unhappiness. Don't pretend that social ostracism isn't a thing here: if a man is found not guilty of a domestic assault, for instance, he will absolutely still carry the label "wife beater." People will say he "got away with it." Even if he didn't do it.

And that's not even getting into how insanely hard it is to make a domestic abuse charge stick on a woman, and I'm saying that as a lesbian that's been abused by a partner.

I think that the general inequity of society means that, on a large scale, men are much more likely to be give leeway to be terrible. At the same time, this is such a complex and involved thing, and it's undeniable to me that there are plenty of times on a micro level where women being awful is condoned. So
