I'm expecting my future wife to have the decency to at least not do that, but I wouldn't be surprised if she abused me physically too. Sadly, due to the US court system that allows women to hit men, I have absolutely no ways to retaliate in this case. It's like showing too much weakness on your first day in prison (Azkaban or otherwise), and being, um... violated every day for the rest of your sentence. (The "violation" here is US-specific; I don't know about other countries' prisons.)
Please tell which state allows that to happen under what law. I'm not saying it doesn't, but I'm calling bs. for now unless you can provide concrete evidence. I think you are talking out of your arse, and I'd would wager you are not living in such a state.
Possibly sentencing, and evidential bar is high for everybody, and possibly there is some imbalance in the prosecution service before bringing a case, but I would like concrete evidence of that. This would be a institutional failure and a failure to carry out the law, rather than a problem with the law itself.
Most domestic violence cases don't make it to court sadly, they either scared to press charges or withdraw them, or they are scared to testify. This is a problem yes, but to say it is weighted in favour of women is mistaken.
There are historical laws that allow the husband to beat the wife, but I haven't heard of the counter. There are historical law that even allow a husband to rape his wife. I like to hope we have moved on from then.
I think when people make claims like this, and are not talking of personal experience they are diminishing the real victims of domestic violence, which is low blow.
Aspie1 you really need to get out of this persecution complex you have, it is not attractive or clever.
I can clear this up right now as someone who works domestic violence cases as apart of my job.
federal and state domestic violence laws (including those under the Violence Against Women Act) are equally applicable to male victim's of domestic violence at the hands of women abusers. I've worked with those kind of cases before. There are no gendered distinctions as a matter of civil rights law.
