Since you're speaking in general terms, so will I.
This white-knighting attitude you're displaying is quite common, and has been exploited by many women fabricating domestic violence.
The existence of the resulting
corruption in the court system isn't controversial. Unfortunately, many who acknowledge it choose to profit from it rather than fight it. A private investigator featured in that video is caught
here giving explicit advice for women seeking divorce by way of a false domestic violence claim. And isn't
this picture interesting, given what we (think we) know about her background?
Point is, this kind of issue should be approached with a bit more caution than you're giving it.

So one sided

The double standard is worse than you're making it out to be, especially when it comes to public reaction. Look at how people reacted to
Lorena Bobbitt and Catherine Kieu.
Even better, look at how they reacted to
Kiranjit Ahluwalia. They gave her a frickin'
bravery award! Her
claim that he abused her created an
image in people's minds of male-on-female violence, and that apparently is far more serious than the
known instance of her carrying out pre-meditated murder while he slept.
