On the issue of fighting couples. While we certainly have men who are the primary starters in some couples, lets not forget that we have many, many couples where the women is worse. And for example we hate Jonathan (I certainly do) for how he pushed around Victoria (let alone the verbal barrage), there have been several women who have pushed guys around that no one ever seems to equate as abusive. In the same season with Jonathug and Victoria we had Lori & Bolo, and while both fought, Lori was more verbally abusive and she was also more physical to Bolo. We had Hayden who was worse to Aaron then Aaron was ever to her, we had Kendra who was worse to Freddy then Freddy was to her, and of course we had momma's boy Adam who was worse to Rebecca then she was to him.
In most seasons we have had couples where the women is worse out of the two.
Take season ten where we had two couples: one Peter was cold and distant to Sarah and we all remember that about him, but we also had David & Mary. And Mary would push David around, and would verbally take him down in most episodes, yet many in America absolutely loved David & Mary (and it also occurred in the same pattern in All Stars).
There is a huge double standard in our culture where it is ok for a women to do something, but if a man did the same thing to her it would be abusive. In my eyes both are equally wrong. And in my eyes both can reflect typically playful horsing around in couples, but since we don't know these people and how they normally are its impossible for us to make the distinction.
Take Ian & Teri, Ian was verbally awful to Teri (though many have been, much, much worse) and Teri would also yell at Ian. But I also think that couple really loved each other. And in All Stars we saw none of it. Yet according to both they bickered the same amount they always do.

They broke the mould when they made Lenny & Karyn. Every dysfunctional couple since them is just a cheap imitation.
