The more powerful gender

There are no laws against the violence that women do unto men. Women know exactly where it will hurt the most, and that they will get away with whatever psychological pain they inflict upon those of the other gender. Men are told to "man up and take it". If they fail to, and reciprocate, it is them that will be punished. Women have the law on their side, and it makes them the more powerful gender. Their deviousness will always beat man's strength of arm. Especially when that arm is pinned down by legislation. In earlier times, women might have been the silent force guiding men, but in modern society, women reign over men with impunity.
