If I recall, in the US, there is exactly one men's domestic abuse shelter and it's in Arkansas.


I know the guy who started that. We had a class together.


Women domestic abuse men?

Some studies have suggested it's more common than the reverse but guys just don't report it.


my understanding is more that women hit men as or more often than men hit women -- in fact I think women initiate most domestic disputes -- but women usually get beat up worse

most domestic violence occurs with both parties abusing each other.
more women end up with injuries or report injuries
when its one party abusing the other, its more common for women to be the abusers
by sexualities, lesbians have the highest rates of ipv, followed by hetero, then gay

guys don't report it partially because if you report it as a guy, you are more likely to end up getting arrested.


To add a bit to this, despite most domestic violence being reciprocal, women are far more likely to hit first. Their reason for hitting is usually because the guy said something mean. Men usually hit because they were hit first. Male on female unreciprocated DV has plummeted A LOT over the decades, which makes sense given the social awareness and education that has been put in place, but female on male unreciprocated violence has not decreased by nearly as much. IIRC it has either stayed at about the same or potentially even slightly increased.

Which kind of leads you to believe that a very large percentage of domestic violence could be curbed if we as a society simply educated women to keep their hands to themselves as intensely as we do for men. Unfortunately most people would be extremely opposed to this because their normal view of domestic violence is "violent and abusive man hitting on woman because the chicken was under cooked". This is the scenario that is most often shared despite it not being the norm. Also, men are more expected to just "man up and put up with it", which of course, no person should have to put up with DV, ever.
