Not inciting violence, just minimizing the injustice of it. I'm against
all sorts of depictions of violence in film. Just because there are a
lot of depictions of male on female violence in film doesn't make it
right to minimize female on male violence. It's just _another_ kind of
wrong.

Defend is one thing. And don't start going on about abusive assholes, I
know them well enough, thanks. Say what you like, someone beating up
someone else is just wrong, however you try to justify it.
