Men are often perceived as this strong powerful person but in reality there just the same as women, but when people hear these types of stories where a woman is abusive to a male people often take it as a joke, due to the traditional stereotypes.  Another example where domestic abuse was not taken seriously was

The three movies I will be comparing are, Moonlight, Kingsman and Skyfall. Whereas, all three of these movies share the trait of having male protagonists, each character comes from a very different background. The character Chiron from moonlight is a black man raised in the American hood by his drug-addicted mother.

EastEnders is a British soap opera that has been broadcasted on BBC One since 1985, which was created by Julia smith and Tony Holland. Since The creation of EastEnders there have been thousands of s
