As for the rest of your views well I cannot agree with all of them.
Some women were treated dreadfully by their husbands and during that time the idea that domestic abuse should be an affair for the police was unheard of.
I know you think women get an easy ride these days but there was a time when the laws of this country were very much weighted in the interests of men.Any woman who left her home and her children because of domestic abuse were deemed to have left the marital home and to have lost the right of access to their children.
Sadly there were no refuges for such women and their children and taking your children with you to live rough was not a solution for most women especially if they had no family to turn to.
As I said today there are some issues that are handled differently and there is a reason for that.I'm sad that some women having got to a better position re equality use it as a weapon against men..it's not right and it's not fair and it tars those women whom are not guilty of thinking that way.

Yes, tackling one unfairness by creating another isn't a solution.
