> Folks, often women, stay in highly abusive relationships

There's a hundred studies that have found that women initiate most domestic violence (lesbians 2x as often, younger women 4x as often). 85 studies identified that women initiating violence is a significant predictor of risk to women (go figure). They are all suppressed or downplayed with sophistry when anyone mentions them.

Catherine Knight's husband admitted to colleagues that he knew she was going to kill him. He stayed anyway, and ended up being stewed and fed to his own children. She used his skin as a curtain for the kitchen.

Alex Skeel was put through a regimen of psychological and physical torture that one normally only hears about from survivors of Communist regimes.

If anyone stays in abusive relationships, it's men. Women are given every incentive to leave. A lot of money flows to their NGOs, propaganda campaigns and shelters, but nothing comparable exists for men.
