I have a question. What makes you believe there is a significant difference between female abuse vs any other kind of abuse? (Men vs Women vs Children etc.)
What prompted you to believe there is a difference? I'm not understanding the relationship between ads and violence against women. I think you're confusing some general biases of society.

The constant advertisements focused solely on women. The way law sentences crimes against man for abuse to women, gets harsher than that of the same crime against another man. That's pretty much all.

What do you mean by biases of society?
I'm not sure if you're specifically referring to advertisements or media in general. If you you do mean advertisements for womens rights, I will say that there are an equal amount for just about any other "popular" social inequality, for example homosexuality. So again I'm not understanding the significance. I do however, understand gender roles. The reason why you may feel that abuse against women is more prominent is because in our society, it says that men are aggressive and masculine in contrast to women. So when two men fight, society doesn't give a shit--that's what men do because they're supposed to be these extremely masculine, protective figures that ads and media portray them as. So what happens is, when we hear about a man slapping a woman, that is taboo in our society and it is blasted in the media.Originally Posted by Rowan

I don't know that it can be measured properly as the number of reported cases of abuse against men are very few and don't reflect true numbers. It would be nice if society changed that, abusing another person regardless of gender is wrong.
"Years of feminist propaganda and enforced "gender sensitivity training" reminiscent of communist re-education camps, have created an illusory world in judges' minds whereby men are naturally evil and violent and where women are saints who only harm or kill when driven by forces beyond their control.
There is ample anecdotal evidence that this indoctrination has led to gross distortions in sentencing rates between men and women.
A particularly pernicious concept dreamed up by feminists is "the battered woman syndrome". This is essentially a licence to kill. A number of women have walked free from Australian courts after admitting to murdering their husbands. Each claimed she was driven to it by years of violence at the hands of her husband. Unfortunately the husband is not around to give evidence or refute the allegation.
WA Judge lets woman walk free after attempting to murder her children
A 32-year-old woman, whose name was suppressed, walked free from the Western Australian Supreme Court on May 26, 2004 after pleading guilty to four counts of attempting to murder her two daughters, aged two and nine years old. She had attempted to murder her daughters by gassing them in the family car on two separate occasions on June 17, 2003.
WA Chief Justice David Malcolm, a man prone to making pompous, bleeding-heart commentary in the media, ruled that the woman's antidepressant drugs contributed substantially to her actions, and let her walk free with a suspended jail term.
Justice Malcolm described the woman as a loving mother who cared for her children.
Running a hose from the exhaust pipe into the family car is certainly a novel way to care for your children".
Statistics and quotes stuff are cool and all, but a couple cases do not represent the majority of cases to justify the idea that women get off easy to the same types of crimes men do. Also, I thought this was about the contrast between abuse regarding man vs woman and man vs man. I don't see how the example of the 32 year old woman walking free after four counts has anything to do with your original idea.
I also hope that you are considering world wide media about cases and not just what you see on the news in your particular country. Now that doesn't mean I want you to go find cases in other countries that are similar. I'm just trying to understand what it is exactly that is being argued I guess because I don't buy the women getting it easier theory.
A violence again women thread exists, but no violence against men thread. There exist 5'3 men with who receive terrible beatings and have no penises (possibly due to aforementioned violence). I am incredibly offended by this double standard.
