Men so get beaten by their wives, not because the guys are wussies, but because should they even dare to reciprocate at even 1% they would literally lose everything.
The legal system is stacked against battered men due to rampant feminism.
Multiple times as a divorce lawyer of over 30 years, it would take at least 30 minutes and some deep questioning before I could get a guy to admit he had been abused. Both husband and wife have what they have to hit with. Sadly the wife often uses the kids.
Late in life the wife is often physically stronger than the husband. Sometimes old men get beat up by their wives but you rarely hear about it.
