This is a seriously undertold story, and this website is a good place to learn the truth about the staggering number of male victims of domestic abuse in Australia:
Men are MUCH less likely (three times less likely it seems) to report being battered and attacked by their female partners than women who are attacked by men, and further, men have less support if they do speak out.
Men may face scorn, derision and disbelief when they report being abused.
If one considers the vastly lower reporting of these incidents by men, and combines this with the higher number of women who abuse children, it arises that women - not men - are the majority domestic abusers in Australia, Great Britain and the United States.
Time to start spreading this truth, and working for change on BOTH sides of the gender equation.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Are you?
I am troubled by many things.
But if I listed them all here, we wouldn't be on topic now would we.
But I will say hypocrisy would be high on that list.
Boy, that must leave you feeling really conflicted.
.........and why would that be?

Yes, I think that is in order.

The representation of male and female homicide victims varies depending on the type of homicide (see Table 10). Throughout 2008–09 and 2009–10, 194 victims were killed by an offender with whom they shared a principal domestic relationship, of which close to two in five (n=75; 39%) of these victims were male, while approximately three in five (n=116; 61%) were female. 39% of 194 is 75."
Oh and this is in Australia!!!
Then provide a link...

This includes (as I said before), father/son, brother/brother, flatmate/flatmate etc., not only partner/partner.

The link is provided in the op link, and besides my quote references exactly what it is and can be found it is in the first sentence in the quote I provided twice here. Starts with Source.
I'm sure you'll be able to verify.

Polks is correct, that is not referring to intimate partner homicide.
Intimate partner does not always refer to a women either....man/man

And you'll seen in the quote provided it is bolded domestic relationship. Talking about males who have been murdered in domesic relationship abuse.
Not complicated.
There's domestic abuse violence, there's domestic abuse homicide.
The topic is domestic abuse of males.
And here, this might help some, here's the title of the thread:
Re: One in Three (or One in Two): The untold story of male victims of family/domestic violence
And if some have manged to convolute a few things, well, just keep referring to the op link and title, it will help.

It's notable that denial takes many forms, and asserts itself via various means.
Thanks for staying on topic, Step!
