Yes, unfortunately, there have been instances where men have gotten away with physically abusing women. Historically, and even in some places today, there have been social norms and legal systems that enabled or excused violence against women. However, it's essential to note that this is not a universal truth, and significant progress has been made in addressing and combating violence against women.
Over time, societies have recognized the importance of protecting women's rights and have implemented laws and policies to address domestic violence, assault, and other forms of abuse. Many countries have now criminalized domestic violence and have established mechanisms to provide support and protection for victims.
Despite these improvements, challenges persist in some regions where patriarchal norms, weak enforcement of laws, and societal attitudes still hinder effective protection for women. Furthermore, under-reporting and stigma surrounding reporting abuse can also contribute to some cases going unpunished.
It's crucial to continue raising awareness about this issue, advocating for women's rights, and supporting efforts to create a safer environment for everyone.
