not always true, there are some crazy mean using and abusing women in the world and the numbers are growing, in the state I moved from , the law on domestic violence calls changed, when someone called for police on a domestic call , someone was going to jail, the number of women then incarcerated started to grow, 

I have been the victim of abuse from a women, I had quite a struggle in the court system, however I fought for my and even more important my children's rights to a peaceful safe home, I succeeded in wining full custody of my children and was awarded a small amount of child support, 

None of the support that women can get such as shelters, were available for me,

the system of food stamps, counseling etc was all aimed at helping women, but things are changing,
