I want to support my sister in her divorce, but the manosphere tells me she is avoiding accountability?

My sister's husband has been physically abusive, and she is divorcing him. I went to my usual online haunts (as we do), looking for advice. I'm primarily active in the manosphere, which generally tells me that my sister is reneging on "till death do us part", that men do not physically abuse their wives without prompting, and that my sister is displaying a lack of accountability for her role in the marriage breakdown.

I was initially taken aback by what I thought was a lack of empathy for an abused woman, but it did give me pause for thought. Could rushing to my sister's defence be misguided? Could she, as someone who lives life on easy mode by virtue of her sex, be shunning accountability in the collapse of her marriage? I was furious with my brother in law for striking my sister, but I'm now challenged to examine the possibility that he was driven to it by an unappreciative, overbearing spouse.

The "manosphere" is barely more than rich people propaganda.
The rich want access to all the young girls, they want it to be an exclusive access to girls with a body count close to zero and they want to do with them whatever they like.
That's why they run propaganda for the girls suggesting they should maintain a low body count and wait for their rich prince to come along and propaganda for average men suggesting to avoid all women because they are all selfish gold diggers.

The results of this propaganda are
- over 90% of all girls in their 20s ignore all non rich men
- 75% of all men in their 20s never had a girlfriend
- over 90% of all girls in their 20s run up their body counts in one night stands with rich men, always hoping one of the men might stay with them and commit to them, which just doesn't happen
- over 90% of all girls in their 20s have experience with one or another form of abuse by rich men who just don't care what the women feel and since these girls don't have any experience with average men they are tempted to believe all men would be like this
- the few men in their 20s who do find a girlfriend are expecting the girls to be just as submissive as the propaganda suggests and when they are not there is a good percentage of these men who get just as abusive as rich men

In short, if you're in the "manosphere" and you're not rich, you're parroting the propaganda of the rich against your own interest, nothing else.

Why bother trying when there's such a small percentage of women worth your time. I may only have two of the three "Sixs" that women desire but I don't have a six figure salary I know women won't look my way. You have to personify perfection in order to date.

Nope you don't, I myself may be one of the best examples, because I'm just an average earner and I'm happily married for 20 years and counting.
You just have to get the propaganda out of your head, forget about social media, online dating, bars and clubs and even church where you will meet exclusively gold diggers and have a look into the real world.
If you like I can give you the long story, because it's a topic I myself had to learn as well and therefore I can talk about my experience.

I don’t believe for a second that a left wing troll would hang around red pill spaces. If you did, I’m pretty sure they would tell you that a man’s job is to protect women. This is just some attempt to paint the movement as toxic masculinity.

Who exactly is the "left wing troll" you speak of? I'm very interested.

Men who hit women are pieces of shit.

As someone who knows your sister and her husband, what makes you think she deserves it? No one deserves to be abused btw, I just wanna know what would cause anyone to believe their sister deserves to be struck by their husband and why strangers could so easily persuade you she did when you actually know her.
