I am sure you do.
However, a long time ago I personally experienced an event of violence by my partner. I attempted to deflect all blows without harming her in any way. At the time and the police said "There is a lot more of this than the public know. If you wish to make a complaint (to the police, initiating possible prosecution), expect the have a difficult time proving anything."
Is that a bias?
My partner was supported by colleagues who stated such as 'Oh she is a nice person, she would never do anything like that '.
Is that a bias?
I was subjected to over three hours of physical assault at the time, and later spent the night in Royal Brisbane casualty.
When she was interviewed at a police station a passer by (happened to be senior police person, and a neighbour) asked 'Why are you here?' To which she replied, in tears 'I don't know why'.
She was sent home. No charges were laid.
is that a bias?
In my workplace, one male said 'Why didn't you just king hit her to stop it?'. Yeah that fits the stereotype. But I would not hit a woman.
Is that a bias?
Ironically several others quietly came out to say they too had been physically assaulted by wives, but didn't say anything because nobody will believe it. And they would be seen as weak. These men do not show up on anybody's statistics.
Is that a bias?
I knew at the time that any attempt to defend myself would certainly result in an instant DVO, no questions asked.
Is that a bias?
Years prior to that psychological disaster, and probably contributing to it, my wife of 20 years had attempted to stab me with a kitchen knife when I presented her with a envelope filled with written love letters from another man. The woman I loved vowed to kill me whilst I slept. But that is another long story. But I later slept in a separate room with a chair wedged under the door handle, until I left. I left with nothing except my sanity (and my life) and built a better life. But that is another story.
But these are two stories of cases where women received greatly beneficial treatment due to bias toward women.
