profitable to be at the receiving end of violence, degradation, and uncertainty about one's own safety and well-being? you seem to have a very warped understanding of what constitutes 'profit' and 'victimhood'. do try to be more considerate. often when people think like this they seem to disapprove of the "Attention" victims of DV receive - be it compassion, legal aid, community support, workplace support, etc. - because they believe it is all undeserved. they think it is undeserved because they don't consider this violence to be actually violent, unsafe, dangerous - or, you know - Bad. if any of this resonates with you, I think it would be a good idea to re-evaluate your thinking wrt the topic, since DV endangers and takes the life of way too many people each year for us to not offer them basic empathy and support as fellow human beings.
