Many are outraged that in my texts I always refer to a woman, which makes many problems look one-sided. There is nothing strange about this - I write mainly for a female audience. But in fairness, most of the psychological problems I describe exist outside of gender.
Domestic violence, gaslighting, abuse, tyranny, psychopathic stalking, personality disorders - all these phenomena have no gender. Women are also capable of inappropriate actions, among them there are also rapists and maniacs, murderers and sadists, psychopaths and hooligans. They have at their disposal the same tools of physical abuse and psychological abuse as men. It's just that because of the obvious physical differences, we hear more about how a man beats a woman than about how a woman beats a man. Well, well, the weaker the rapist (I don't like feminitives), the more sophisticated and inventive the action. “Anyone who does not have the strength to strike uses poisons,” an old forensic professor once told me. And this is equally true of both sexes.
In fact, society is too fixated on gender difference and therefore biased and unfair - both to women and men. Each medal has a reverse side. We often hear about discrimination against women. Much less often - about the victimization of men. When a man pursues his wife, he is a stalker. When a woman watches over a man and breathes into a tube at night, she is trying to save the marriage. If you call a police outfit at the address with the wording "domestic violence", you can bet that the man will be twisted first. Meanwhile, everything is not so simple.
Violence has no gender. What is most often justified by the bad character of a woman - tantrums, slaps, boycotts, manipulations - is actually the same abuse, a side view. But the man is ashamed to admit that he is being bullied by a woman. It is strange for him to call the police with a statement about the beating by his wife. It seems like you are not a man if you cannot solve family problems on your own. Henpecked, weakling, trouser-bearer, boys don't cry - you only knew how many men forcefully squeeze the poison of misandria out of themselves during sessions.
In general, if we talk about equality, then in everything. The law should be the same for everyone, regardless of gender. The same goes for relationships between people. What Weinstein got 23 years for should not be allowed for women leaders. Any violence is unacceptable - no matter if it is directed at a woman, a man or a child. As long as crimes against the person are justified by trousers or skirts, one can hardly speak of freedom and justice.

Gender, Gender And Orientation. Common Myths
It seemed to me that there was no need to post such texts on professional sites, but, unfortunately, even among psychologists, there are a huge number of myths, factual errors and misconceptions on this complex topic. Time after time, magazines and websites have published articles full of conflicting information about gender, sex and sexual phenomena.
Difference Between Violence And Non-violence
Violence for me is when I do or allow myself to do something that I do not want, which I do not choose. My will can be suppressed in different ways - by deception (using misleading intellectual constructions), intimidation or unexpected penetration into the intimate area, which leads to a stupor.
