Just saying: the option for divorce has existed for a long time now.
How can a woman describe to a journalist how abusive her partner is, and not split up or get a divorce?
In most countries there is also some kind of social security, so women are not financially dependent on their partners anymore, either (not to mention the option to work themselves).
So what are we to make of such articles? Internalize more hatred of men? Go round knocking on doors, asking women "excuse me, should I beat up your husband"?
Maybe there are reasons that prevent women from leaving (and let's not forget many men are victims of domestic abuse, too). Then those reasons should be addressed. Those sob stories on "women have it so bad" don't do anybody any good.
And also, personal responsibility is a theme here. You are responsible for choosing your partner, and also for splitting if the partner turns out to be abusive.
