I considered what it is like for a man to be in the same situation. If a man was in the same situation as me, than he should file a marital tort. I did not snidely laugh this off.
My ex was a 11 inches taller than me, outweighed me by at least 75 lbs. He gave me two black eyes, and multiple other black and blues, he threw me to the ground and kicked me in the ribs.
And I don't agree with the penis thing, I feel that everyone should be treated equally in court. And no, that was not an apology.
During my marriage, I should have had him arrested many times.
My divorce settlement was what I should have gotten, I probably should have gotten more, my money ran out to continue fighting him.
And yes, if a woman is beaten, and made to fear for her life, then I do think that the perfect retaliation is a marital tort. Why? Because she was probably too afraid to take him to court during the marriage.
