Maybe rather than trying to change the name people have given a type of shirt because it is stereotypically worn by wife beaters, people should focus more on actual domestic abuse.

ive been calling them beaters for years

not because of the violence, but more akin to an old broken down car, which we also call beaters.

The term wifebeater reportedly became synonymous for an undershirt after a criminal case in 1947. A Detroit native named James Hartford Jr. was arrested for beating his wife to death. News outlets printed a photo of Hartford in a stained undershirt and referred to him as "the wife beater."

I agree though its an awkward name for something you can just call a tank top
