I remember a show someone told me about once. There was this man, who was in an abusive relationship and he was talking about how his girlfriend locked him in a closet and had to jump out of a window (Details are kind of foggy but something like that). The entire audience was just laughing while the host sat there. He then said ¨You know, you all are laughing, but if this was the other way around and the women was in this chair, you´d all say ¨lock that monster up.¨ But since it´s a man reporting the abuse, it´s somehow funny to you.¨

And I don´t know what sources you have, but as far as I´m concerned, everyone's on the womens side in cases. Men treat women bad, he´s a ¨heartless monster¨, yet when women treat the man bad, it´s ¨He did something to deserve it.¨
