Set your self-righteous tone down. I was referring to the more "extraordinarily circumstantial events" that occur from time to time. The really twisted stuff that usually happens after it's aired on television and given the sick bastard the idea to do it.

orcishgamer: Actually sitcoms like Everybody Loves Raymond are part of the big criticism of the media portrayal of men. They're most often portrayed as bumbling asses, always married to a perfect woman who makes up for all their inadequacies, and if she's a bit of a bitch it's only because she has to tolerate being married to that loser.
I know it is a big part of it I just didn't want others to think I was overstating things or talking out of my arse.

I'll just leave this here for anyone interested.

There's tons of links to the books, research, and papers. You can read up and judge for yourself.

GameRager: I dunno if this counts but look at all the Sitcoms where they make light of the woman being wrong in some way(which leads to the man trying to defend himself verbally to his family and the wife to no avail usally) and in the end after no end of troubles(along with laughtracks where applicable) the man will usually "admit" their :wrongdoing" and how much of a cad THEY were and life will continue on as usual.

Basically it makes light of the fact that there's no way to make yourself seem to be right in matters if you're a man and the other party is a woman.
I personally think that counts, I've noted that in the past. The portrayals of domestic violence and intimidation are much more common in this era when directed at men by women.

It wasn't always the case, I remember during the original Futurama run they referenced the Honeymooners where Jackie Gleason was referencing beating his wife with one of his catch phrases. Don't know if he ever did, but it was a part of the show that isn't really that subtle.

Additionally, a lot of times like with the Hartman murder suicide back in the late '90s it's hard to say what exactly was going on, but it wouldn't surprise me if that had been a case of domestic violence, where she was the perpetrator. Without information that we're not likely to ever have, it's hard to say, but that one follows a fairly common pattern in terms of cases where a woman kills her husband in his sleep.

The media tends to write it off as an abused woman trying to free herself, when in actuality it could also be an abusive woman trying to prevent her hubby from leaving.
