3) The fact that nothing ever came of it indicates that Faye's behaviour was never as threatening or as abusive as you perceive it to be.
End of story.

2) Marten DID respond; he flinched. As noted by someone else here, that's one of the signs of emotional trauma to repeated and expected physical abuse.
3) It's not perceived to be as threatening, because it's done by a woman, and therefore, according to the SJW enforced gender constructs, can't be threatening. Something is only seen as bad or socially unacceptable when society tells you it's bad or socially unacceptable. In other words, that idea that women can't be abusive or threatening is a social construct.
Woman hits man: Oh he must have done something to deserve it.
Man hits woman: How dare you ask if she did anything to deserve it, that's victim-blaming!
Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: chris73 on 04 May 2018, 01:38 ---Physical violence is worse than any spoken or written word yet some posters here are more concerned that some characters feelings might be hurt and seem to not care that there is someone in the cast physically assaulting people

I think that may be very debatable. Verbal and psychological violence and abuse can be every bit as ugly - and are much less likely to be noticed or taken seriously by others.

If you had to choose between being physically abused or verbally abused and the physical abuse went on for as long as the verbal abuse what would you choose?

I happen to have had the opportunity to compare. There's a thread about it in RELATE. The broken bone was not directly from violence but I was running at adrenaline speed from a violent situation. Surgery to put it back together, 6 weeks for it to heal, and 6-8 months of rehab after that.
I also had what was mostly verbal abuse in grade school, thought it was always clear that physical violence was behind it if I stood up for myself.
The verbal abuse went on longer so I am not answering your exact question.
The surgery and fracture recovery had features including losing sleep because of pain breaking through oxycodone. It was more recent, so should be fresher in my mind.
The bone that was broken into three pieces which will leave me with a reduced range of motion the rest of my life was the better of the two.
You ask an important question but it doesn't quite apply to Faye. She both insulted people and hit them hard enough to cause bruises.
Momo, btw, was NOT OK with the upskirt incident.

BTW, I have not seen a movement or even a posse to dismiss male victims of domestic violence. There's a lack of awareness, which is why they don't have enough shelters. Different problem.

The way 'SJW' has been appropriated absolutely boggles my mind.
I can't speak for liberals at large, but if you think the consensus on this forum is that domestic violence is fine as long as the victim isn't female, then you are astoundingly wide of the mark.
Anecdotally, I have never seen a single person fitting the SJW profile that has advocated the reinforcement of gender roles.

The only times I have ever seen "SJWs" resistant to arguments about violence against men by women, it has been when those arguments were raised as an objection to arguments about intimate partner violence against women. As though the existence of violence against men negates the problem of violence against women. It is a rejection of the "whataboutism" used to diminish the significance of an issue.
And society's failure to recognize intimate partner violence against men as a problem is not rooted in feminism or the broader social justice movement. The social justice argument is that violence against men is normalized by the perception that men are stronger than women and that being the victim of violence by a woman makes a man weak; that it is emasculating. That idea falls under "toxic masculinity" that the modern social justice movement seeks to end.
