thank you Phillip! Point taken.. I'm familiar with the situation with nursing and its brutal.. I have been told by some female nurses that they were glad to see men get into the profession. They said it was an equalizer.. I've never heard of the term 'Horizontal Violence' before..

My thought was that with non-confrontational conflict resolution it can be more difficult for management to explicitly identify the victim & victimizer. Particularly if the conflict involves male & female. Their is still an empathy gap that biases against men... Its very important to note that these are generalizations...
