I disagree. If a man has been raised to never hit a woman and a woman beats on him, most won’t hit back.
I read a legal board and on domestic violence if the law is called it is the man who gets arrested unless he is bleeding or something. It doesn’t matter who calls the law.
In divorce and custody cases one of the first accusations is physical abuse and then it is up to the man to prove that he didn’t abuse. They take the position that the man really COULD hurt the little wifey or the children and just the accusation is enough to raise real questions.
“If a man has been raised to never hit a woman and a woman beats on him, most won’t hit back”.
I agree. I know personally one man that was abused by his wife. To be fair, he wasn’t a “typical” person. By that, I mean he was born a preemie, was short in stature, petite in frame, and wore hearing aids. He married a gal who was short.. but four inches taller than he is and weighed at least 100+ pounds heavier. Long story short, she hospitalized him several times. Finally, his sister visited him in the hospital and asked him what she feared (but no one ever questioned or asked aloud). Could he have defended himself? Yes. However, he was raised to never, EVER hit a woman. He made his sister promise him that she would never tell their Father. He was ashamed but tried to stay married (Catholic). He finally left her and filed for divorce when his sister asked him if he wanted to be buried next to their Mother or closer to her. To be honest, after the stitches, broken eye orbit, broken clavical... it was just a matter of time. Happy ending of the story is he is remarried to a nice woman with two children.
“if the law is called it is the man who gets arrested unless he is bleeding or something”
Even if he’s bleeding, the cops will say his injuries were caused by the woman defending herself against his attack. No kidding.
Indeed, I know at least two men who were in abusive marriages.
“If a man has been raised to never hit a woman and a woman beats on him, most won’t hit back.”
How true. `Never hit the girl.’ Instead, do like Frank Drebin, parry and grab both her wrists when she tries to smack you.
(Then she’ll get you with that third hand)

What is more true is that the outcome can never be clear. Judges do whatever they want. Just look at how O J Slmpson got custody of his children away from their grandparents, even after a civil judgment found him guilty of killing their mother (after the criminal case did not). He still owes his parents-in-law and the parents of his wife's lover a huge amount assessed at the civil judgment, but has not paid and never will.
