A 2012 study by Bert H. Hoff, J.D. found “More men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence within the past year, according to a national study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Department of Justice.”
Hoff’s research found that in the 12 months prior to the study’s release, “an estimated 5,365,000 men and 4,741,000 women were victims of intimate partner physical violence.” That’s 53% and 47% respectively.

It actually doesn't surprise me at all that men are victims of domestic violence more often than women.

1. Men have been told for ages never to hit a women, women have not been told the same.

2. Men are MUCH less likely to report the abuse because of stigma and shame. Yes this also affects women but I highly doubt to the same degree.

Being that I am white and a male, apparently I have oppressed everyone.
