I think that's in part due to the fact that women are an oppressed group in this world. Even in this country, the rhetoric used against women by certain politicians is abhorrant, and startlingly accepted by a huge swath of the population. There are politicians who want teenagers to carry their rapists baby to term; we've had a rapist president and now there's a rapist sitting on the supreme court bench. Then you have a huge swath of people who still believe in the patriarchal mid century views towards women, or who have raised sons who continue to believe that crap and saddle that behavior on their partners, perpetuating mistreatment just like how racism continues to be perpetuated. Minorities are similarly at higher risk for chronic depression than whites.
