In many cases within the last several years of which I am aware men have lost substantially more than half of what they have worked for. Divorce courts these days tend to be on the misandristic side.

Back when I was a "youngster" working for the federal government in D.C. in the mid sixties a fellow I worked with tried one of the first computer dating services. This guy was thin and lightly built and not a "physical" male. Anyway, he met some women on the service and after a period of time he started showing up to work a little bruised here and there, then a black eye and finally a broken arm. His office mate turned the situation into the police because this fellow was too afraid of the woman to get out of it. She was arrested and he was finally free of her. It does go the other way as well.

According to a recent University of Florida study among college age folks, women abuse men more than the other way round. http://divorcesupport.about.com/od/a...male_abuse.htm
