    Take the factor that men are less likely to report it and multiply that by the one in nine. Chances are it’s actually higher, just stigmatized for reporting.

      True. I personally know two men who have experienced long term physical and emotional abuse from a female partner and neither would ever report it. One still takes the blame for it, the other says it’s not as bad if a woman does it to a man and he knows he won’t be believed anyway.
