> Considering that men often lose the most in a divorce but don't initiate divorces indicates that women have a privilege here.

Or men don't initiate divorces because they have the most to lose?

> Most reported victims of domestic violence are women. If you take into account unreported domestic violence, emotional abuse, and non-deadly domestic violence men are actually ahead of women in this particular stage of the oppression olympics.

You can't make a claim like that without even a hint of a source. Yes, most female on male domestic violence and abuse goes unreported and hell, many men get mocked for "letting a woman do that to them". It's of course horrific. Is there any indication this is happening at a rate similar to or higher than domestic violence against women? I have never seen any, but feel free to share.

> Maybe if you could share some of that empathy with the men affected by these laws you'd see why they get pushed through,

Which laws?!
