Traditional family, stop drinking the christian right kool aid please. Tradition can fucken bite me. So tradition as in:

beat the crap out of your wife because you get shitfaced with your workmates and come home drunk
beat the crap out of your kids because they need to learn discipline
loveless, soulless marriages that only exist so you don't get looked down on by your friends
husband fucking around on the wife all the time because it was acceptable
wife stuck at home being totally unfulfilled because women should be oppressed and not be given equal opportunities
kids never sharing intimate details of their life because parents where so uptight and unable to communicated with
what other church goers think of you is more important than being loving and caring
not communicating with your kids
being so jaundiced about sex that you give severe hangups to your kids

Yes we need lots of tradition in our lives.

While I vehemently loathe Victorian traditionalism, you're doing a good job using Victorian traditionalism right here by presuming that women didn't hit men (implying women are morally superior to men), and valuing women's pain and suffering over men's pain and suffering, you're employing Victorian traditionalism. Namely, the idea that women are more human than men and deserve more compassion.

This is the same culture which sent young boys (note, not the girls) off to die without any mercy, wherein women participated in shaming men if they did not sacrifice themselves, when those very same women were privileged as women by not having to be forced to die. Look up the 'white feather campaign'.

Men died in the factories working god awful hours, bleeding and sweating. They literally were slowly dismembered to death, just so their wives wouldn't have to endure such a sordid thing. Their were special laws that protected women in the workplace from the perniciousness most men endured.

And this doesn't even get into male genital mutilation, which still takes place...

Whatever. I'm not saying women didn't suffer. Obviously, they did. I'm just saying discounting men's suffering is a right-wing notion; the explicit (or implicit) notion that men should "man-up" and "take it like a man".
