I absolutely agree with this point. I always disliked how much the media normalized women slapping men. They usually justify it by the large difference in physical strength between the two, but I still believe that it’s unacceptable. A violent act doesn’t have to hurt physically to be condemned.

This also goes both ways I think. But since Episode is an app mainly geared towards females, we tend to see more female characters talking about male characters than the reverse.
