i've got mixed feelings on this one. i know too many women who are survivors of domestic violence or sexual assualt to take this subject any way but heavy. at the same time, i think the only reason why this whole meme works if if the meme of "women don't start fights" is also operative.
it's morally despicable to pick on someone who does not start a fight, or who cannot defend themselves. without ignoring the gendered implications of this statement, i would hope that we could move past a model that men hit and women get beat. it's a little more complex than that.
