It isn't US but all over the world. As the society progressed, man became dominant and women were losing their status. Man being physically stronger abuses women in all ways he could. Even though now women do almost everything men are doing but still their traditional work is not usually shared by men. Now, men wants a house keeper in women along with their ability to handle outside home duties.
Rapes in marriage and domestic violence isn't far behind.
