What they get away with is if some psycho is attacking you with a knife or something the guy is just expected to disarm her or defend himself without harming her, meanwhile the same situation can be reversed and the chick could probably kill the guy claiming self-defense and get away with it. You are putting words in my mouth, the type of scenario your setting up has absolutely nothing to do with the imbalance in the system I am speaking of. Obviously, when a woman calls the cops and they arrive to her covered in bruises and beat to sh*t there is something wrong with the guy and not her 99.9999% of the time.
