How about a business owner who asks every woman, and only women, to take a punch in the face by the person behind them, so women can understand the threat of violence that men live under, being disproportionately victimized by nearly all types of violent crime. No one is forced - purely voluntary.
Sexist or kosher?
Because I'd call it sexist.
Was that meant to be the other way around? Because women experience more domestic violence than men.
So I think it should be like this:
"How about a business owner who asks every man, and only men, to take a punch in the face by the person behind them, so men can understand the threat of violence that women live under, being disproportionately victimized by nearly all types of violent crime. No one is forced - purely voluntary."
Which, although a lot more harsh and brutal than the experiment Wey was doing, it is comparable.
To which I'd say "sheesh", but also "what data is the business owner trying to get?" and "is this a social experiment, or is the owner just crazy?"
1. Women don't experience more domestic violence than men.
2. Gallo is specifically pointing out that men face more violence overall, and so to raise womens awareness of this, they should be asked if they want to get punched in the face. It can be by a woman if you like.
