> First of all: Men can be victims of violent domestic incidents. Don't use "woman and children" here.
We shouldn’t let a misguided sense of equality blind us to the real nature of the problem. Women are not only twice as likely to be murdered by an intimate partner as the other way around, but in over 40% of cases where women murdered men, there was evidence it was in response to violent acts by the man: https://www.encyclopedia.com/reference/encyclopedias-almanac...
Statistic after statistic bears out the fact that men are by far the more violent sex, and “women and children” are the victims of male violence.
Violence is not exclusive to murder. Men are socially shamed for being victimized by women. My experience with sharing my stories of abuse have led me to completely hide it away from anyone; I will be judged as weak, incompetent, emasculate, or worse. To the best of my knowledge on the topic there
hasn't even been much serious inquiry into male victimization[1].
I do not doubt that given their significantly higher natural testosterone men have both a greater raw rate of violence and more incidences reported.
That said, Intimate Partner Violence carries significant psychological trauma. You are completely downplaying that trauma, focusing on only the most extreme and rare cases.[2] 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men report having experienced Intimate Partner Violence.[3]
