FULL TEXT: Kansas City, Kan., Jan. 24. – With the novelty worn off the plan of shackling wifebeaters and making them sweep the streets of this city, Judge Joseph Brady has hit on a new plan to humiliate the practices of the ancient cave man.
Hereafter
the pictures of all wifebeaters, with their names and records in bold, black
type, will be placed in a public rogue’s gallery in the lobby of the City Hall,
exposed to the gaze of all.
“It
seems to me my plan of publicly exhibiting wifebeaters on the streets has lost
its “effect,” said Judge Brady, when a wife showed a swollen and discolored eye
and testified it was a habit of her husband to beat her.
The
husband admitted he occasionally beat his wife.
“You
are fined $500,” said the Court. “And you are going to be the first exhibit in
a public rogues’ gallery in the lobby of the City Hall. It will let the people
know what kind of a man you are when they see you on the street.

No, the claim that laws created by males were for the benefit of males is false. Yes, the "Rule of Thumb" myth has been proven to be a marxist-feminist hoax, taking an ancient English common historical notation published in the 18th century and extrapolating it into unsupported claims that 18th and 20th century United States communities, courts and legislatures (laws on the books) were in agreement with the18th century historical notation (Blackstone).

You have been lied to. The people who told you these
lies were paid to tell them you. In most cases you paid your own money (taxes
and tuition fees) to be lied to.
Here is one of countless pieces of evidence that demonstrate
the truth.

“[O]nly since the 1970s has the criminal justice system
begun to treat domestic violence as a serious crime, not as a private family
matter.”
From the entry: “Domestic Violence” on encyclopedia.com
This claim has been proven to be false.
