It is represented in media, see the film Mommy Dearest. Even in the Wizard of Oz the woman is the abuser. The series The Terror streaming now, woman the abuser. Fatal Attraction, Cruella, Misery, Carrie, etc.
Ok. You named a handful of examples. I’m sure there’s a handfull more.
But I could literally reach the character limit if I attempted to show all the examples of men in media being the abuser.
So you aren’t wrong per se. But you are still missing the point.
OP said “always” and “never.” So I’m not really sure what the purpose of this discussion is beyond refuting those superlatives. Is the idea that there needs to be more physically abusive women in fiction? Or fewer men? What is the ideal?
