EXCERPT: The strange sentence imposed recently on a professional beggar—a fine of 10 cents a day, to continue for two years—was being discussed by some lawyers. “It was a good sentence,” said one, “for it will keep this woman under the magistrate’s eye for all that time, was a good sentence, and an original one.”
“It
reminds me,” said another, “of a sentence that I once saw meted out to a wife-beater.
This man, coming home drunk, was refused admittance by his wife—was obliged, in
fact, to sleep all night on the cold, hard doorstep—and in the morning, when
she let him in, the man was so infuriated that he struck the woman on the arm.
He was, of course, arrested, and the magistrate sentenced him to fight the
bench. To fight the bench; to fight the magistrate, a Sullivan of a fellow; and
the unlucky wife-beater weighed no more than a hundred pounds. The fight came
off at three in an alley behind the courtroom, and the wife looked on while the
husband took as cruel and bloody a beating as I have ever seen inflicted.”

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.
