Following a video showing Sean "Diddy" Combs assaulting Cassie Ventura, social media support for Ventura has surged, but experts warn that rhetoric like "real men don't hit women" is problematic. This phrase can remove accountability from perpetrators and perpetuate harmful stereotypes about masculinity and violence. Experts emphasize the need for a more nuanced understanding of domestic violence and advocate for societal change to support victims and rehabilitate offenders.
