It used to be that women had to stay with abusive husbands, because men were the ones who made money. There was a social effort to give white men better jobs than more qualified Blacks. So a lazy, abusive white man could get a good job, and force a wife to stay with him. Now his wife would leave him, and a harder worker would replace him.
