Thankfully today's young women are much less likely to put up with even being annoyed by a man for very long, abuse is out of the question. That's what's got "conservatives" all riled up crying over "sexless men" and "plummeting birthrates".

True, but not enough yet. I'm trying to figure out how to get young women, possible future mothers, to understand they should never accept abuse in a relationship and to teach their daughters never to tolerate it. I'm also curious as to the dynamics behind the reverse - men abused by female partners. I'm pretty sure the dynamics are different since these guys can almost always defend themselves against violence, unlike the reverse, but they don't for legal reasons (or because they were taught never to hit a girl - which happened to my ex - who never hit back his physically abusive then-wife).
If the sex is good men will tolerate a lot. Where do you think the trope of "crazy women are the best in bed" comes from? If the "crazy" shows up in physical abuse, since they are most times physically stronger than women, a slap or even a punch isn't going to feel as bad or do as much damage as a man hitting a woman so they probably think "that didn't hurt, I can take it." They also probably think the first time is a one-off and won't turn into a habit.
The pathologies seem to be closely related in both sexes - the willingness to be a victim for certain trade-offs - good sex, a guy who's 'otherwise a good guy', or a good provider, or whatever. With women and celebrity spouses, it might be the trade-off of being with a rich, famous guy - think Janay Palmer or Nicole Brown Simpson.
