This makes it sound as if women never commit violence against men, which is just not true. Most people are not always on edge ready to fight for their life, fights are not always decided by whoever is physically stronger.
And even though it’s a crime to beat someone in most countries, this sort of violence, especially if it’s of sexual nature, is probably somewhere around the most underreported ones.
If a man tells someone he was beaten by a woman, he is automatically a laughingstock material, because “oh, men are physically stronger than women, no way that happened”. It’s even worse for rape, because there is no concept of men not consenting to sex in the “traditional” masculinity image.
