Did you read the links??? Women are not liable while their partner goes free. They are held liable when they don't report a crime

Are you saying that because there's no intent to harm women? You don't need intent for an example of the exercise of power against a group.

they will do things that hurt women, just because they don't understand or pay attention to or know what hurts women.

ergo, try to make sure women have more power, ideally 50%.
