If it gets ugly the bias in favor of women gets stronger.

All of this is anedoctal but in my experience I saw many women willing to use false accusations of violence knowing it was a win win. They knew they wouldn't be punished even if it was proven the accusations were false. And that is a powerful tool to get custody.

And of course for younger children the custody to the mother is often enshrined into law directly.

And then there are men who are violent or abusive and neither cops nor courts believe the woman. Those are not rare at all.

Both situations happen.

Yes unfortunately you cannot protect group A from the actions of group B hermetically without hurting group B, if group A and group B interact.

Someone will be hurt, or by the actions of a member of the second group or by the societal actions to protect the second group.

I just wish the compromise was clear and we abandoned the kind of puritanical thinking that we "ought to protect group X" no matter what. We need to talk, qualitatively and quantitatively, about all the sides of the coin.
