My aged mom watches a lot of shitty tv. [View all]

I just spend three days with her and watched more sitcoms than I've watched in total over the last 30 years.

Men get hit by women a lot on network sitcoms. It seems to be a very funny bit. I only noticed this because of that shitstorm in h&m that basically declared this forum a rightwing cesspool and a bunch of whiners and more or less declared that DV is an issue for women only.

I cannot imagine a network sitcom in which the femaie characters were routinely hit in the face or threatened with violence.
