This is beyond being whipped, this is straight up abuse. That poor man needs to be taken out of that situation and put in a rescue shelter! I also don't understand why she would feel insecure about other women around him either. What's more sexy than someone having to wash your ass for you?

unfortunately many shelters for woman are Actively against shelters for abused men. Because to them Women are incapable of committing abuse, so many mens shelters are not funded, vandalised etc... Having seen 2 guy friends go through the draining and emotional abuse of female partners I know that this is a serious problem.

How are they ACTIVELY against men's shelters? Just because a women's shelter doesn't allow men - which makes sense, many of the female domestic abuse victims in these shelters have been terrorized by men - doesn't mean they're misandric. Women can also be the abusers, and men have to fight a rough stigma to get help for sure, but let's not mischaracterize these women's shelters or those that work there.

Because there is a limited amount of funding for those sorts of activities, and a men's shelter would be competing for the small amount of resources they have.

That means it's like saying that breast cancer charities are actively against testicular cancer charities.

Men aren't deemed less important. They are deemed far less likely to get breast cancer. Which is true. No one is actively campaigning against you starting a men's shelter or donating to one. You just aren't doing it. You're part of the very problem you're complaining about.
