You think it is meaningless that women are THREE TIMES more likely to be murdered or suffer serious spousal violence, than men? All violence is wrong, but we have to be concerned that women are more at risk.
As a former divorce lawyer, I can also say that it is BS that women are "taking the guy for everything". The law normally only entitles spouses to half the matrimonial property, and child/spousal support is fairly based on income levels, in tables that are consistently applied. You may have heard a few anecdotes, but I have heard thousands more. There are far more deadbeat men in the system, than women that "create lies". When it is proved that women were lying, they are punished.
