Anything that's not a compliment for a woman or women is automatically labeled 'misogyny'.
Statistics show that in households where there's mutual domestic violence, men and women each initiate it about 50% of the time, both knowing that they'll likely get smacked back if they do... In households with unilateral violence (only one person doing the smacking) women initiate it 70% percent of the time (perhaps because she knows she won't get popped in retaliation).
So while most public violence is male (and males are the most common victims of public violence, too) women may have the edge on private violence -- but we're disinclined to talk about that, men as victims or women as perpetrators.
Statistically, women kill their offspring far more often than men -- even when the father is in the household.
Men certainly do most of the shooting, and they take most of the lead.
So, who knows? Folks say Leonard Katzman was very moved by father-to-son lineage issues yet saw women as decorative, and that he "hated" strident feminist types. But perhaps that was his "lived experience" (as they say today).
David Paulsen rarely gets credit for much (except by me) but among other things, he really strengthened the women characters, although he did it subtly and with minimal fanfare.
There was more violence on DALLAS amongst the men, but when it mattered, the babes brandished the most bullets and gave the most bang for their bucks.
