why do they need a special law for women? what about a law against violence in general? this type of attitude only enhances the misconception that women need special rights... what the hell?

@Sasukegrl12 No, read my comment again, it isn't justified. This is exactly what was thought here, and now you see the situation. Spousal abuse is looked very harshly upon. If it is men hitting women, that is. Men being abused by their partners, are ridiculed.

Spousal abuse is not okay. Gender is irrelevant.

@tarrizzzzzzzzz Probably because in those types of countries women are treated like garbage. Men aren't abused by their women there.
