I'm not buying your reasons for society being unbalanced toard favoring women. Each of your examples can easily be refuted or countered with an example of preferential treatment toward males.

"More innocent in court?" How about the fact that only recently is it even possible for a woman to bring a rape charge without having it assumed that she was promiscious or in some way asking for it.

"Never hit a woman" I'm sure if there was not a huge difference in the amount of men abusing women over women beating men, it would not be necessary to drill that into the heads of young males.

I don't think you would find much evidence supporting your claims that women are less likely to be questioned for murder of a spouse based solely on their gender. Perhaps there are other factors, such as previous records of domestic abuse, that cause them to look more closely at certain males.

Males and females will never be the same, but as you quote, "need to get the same justice as men and not get special treatment because they have breasts."
