Women all over the world have to put up with a terrible culture of domestic abuse, and that's a benefit? What exactly do they "get away with" in this scenario? So police often give women the benefit of the doubt when they call and report domestic abuse, and the cops arrive on the scene and see bruises all over her. I'd say that that's not even remotely a benefit that outweighs the detriments of the situation.

I get the point you were trying to make, but your choice of words was very poor.
