It was just as unpleasant, and he put up with it because he didn't feel he could talk to anyone - after all, what do most people think of a man who gets beaten up by his wife? - and it's just as wrong.

therein lies the problem
those women who do decide to get out have places to go and people to turn to. they know this because women talk about things like this. a man in the same situation is likely to be very alone and not know who to turn to for help. fuck feeling emasculated, get out!

Why are the guys trapped?
Is it money as it often seems (to me at least) o be with women? Is it access to kids?

Are people trapped by physical abuse this century?

same reasons as why the women feel trapped, i would imagine
i can't give a definitive answer to this, i've never been in that situation and i'm not male. the point is was making is that women are far more likely to talk to someone about these problems, thus gaining help and support.
