While feminists love to point out obscure laws that technically allowed men to abuse women in marriage, laws that are on the books don't dictate human behavior. I have friends in the middle East, Asia and Africa right now who are completely dominated by their wives, even though the laws and society imply that they are "supposed" to have the "power".

Most men are "beta" males who don't have the ability or desire to "control" a woman. And it has always been like this.

Would the Bible and Koran have verses about how miserable it is to live with a "nagging wife" 1000 years ago if women were as subservient as delusional feminists make it out to be? No. Who would get nagged by someone they could just beat into submission? Would Josephine Bonaparte have been able to flagrantly cheat on the most powerful man in France 200 years ago if women were oh so oppressed and vulnerable? No.

While cases of abuse always existed (and always will exist) they are not the universal experience.

History is way more complex and nuanced than delusional feminists understand. And regular men didn't have rights either 500 years ago.

The only people who had rights were the nobility. And the nobility consisted of both males and females. And even in societies were men were in charge on the surface, women were often pulling the strings behind the scenes -- just as in many households.
