Women make less on average but spend less because of the "I'm the guy, i should pay" mentality. Men can also get drafted in times of war, women do not. Women are not weak, they simply do different things. The real issue is that people precieve those things incorrectly. There are just as many cases of abuse by the woman as there are from the male, the difference is that men who take stuff from their wives are considered bitches while women who take stuff from their husbands are considered brave victems.
