Fortunately, only since the beginning of patriarchy, 6-9 thousand years ago, although that's bad enough. Vice reports that there's even an organized right wing campaign to vilify Heard and make an example of her.

"The answer, according to VICE, is that there is at least some outside funding: The right-wing outlet Daily Wire has poured tens of thousands of dollars into promoting false content demonizing Heard and “vindicating” Depp. (At one point, the site proclaimed that Depp had disproven “12 of the 14 allegations” against him. They then ran a brief correction noting that he had not, in fact, disproven any of them.) The apparent goal is to fuel a #MeToo backlash by painting the relationship as “mutually abusive,” when the truth, as established by previous cases Depp fought and lost, is that Depp was physically, sexually and verbally abusive, and Heard sometimes lost her temper or shouted back.

Anger is a reasonable response to abuse, and most victims have it."
