Domestic violence, regardless of the gender, is never okay. Circulating on twitter, is a video of a man casually telling how his wife beats him almost everyday.

The video, which seems to have come from a local channel features the host asking a man about his wife and him revealing details of how he gets abused on the daily. When told about the program being telecasted on TV, the man was in tears.
The video which was shared in light humour has managed to trigger a lot of people, for the right reasons:
He is in a toxic relationship….this is what toxic relationship is like…they will beat you abuse you and then say sorry like nothing happened..somehow the victim is too vulnerable and cannot get out of it without help….he genuinely needs help

People wanted to know what would have happened if the roles were reversed:
Imagine a man doing this with a woman. Sary feminists ne yahan ikhaty hojana tha. Yahan admi k sth ho rha hai esa toh sb hns rahe hain. Aur pls koi is moti bhens ko utha kar bhr phenky konsi journalism kr rai hai yeh?? https://t.co/fcAPJ5kcRO

Wait if a woman had said that. Would ypu guys have laughed at this then? Domestic violence is no joke. When they say "Patriarchy oppresses men too" this is what it means. Men can't even speak about this in public. They have to maintain their "Mard" character in society. https://t.co/lwGU4xy8XR

People were questioning the ethics of the host:
ye jo khatoon tha te maar ke hans rahi hai agar khuda na khuasta ye bayan kisi mazloom khatoon ka hota aur koi murd anchor bechara aesai hansta phir……

And while others realised the seriousness of the video, some poked fun at it:
