Violence against women is a legitimate problem. You don't have to troll around through articles written through special interests groups or selective reading and cherry picking of newspaper articles trying to prove otherwise.
Do men get their ass beat on occasion by a spouse, YES.
Does it change anything with regards to facts, figures and volumes of numbers on violence against women, NO.
Here is all you can handle for statistics and white papers from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control that clearly show this is a fucking epidemic that is only getting worse.

One of the underlying things I don't see addressed is if there is any correlation in spikes with violence on males as homosexual relationships have become more open or increased where you have two male partners.
Violence against women is such a problem that the military has to deal with it in two dimensions; internally among it's own community and externally operating with our partners and allies (it's tough to sell your allies as a good guy when they beat their wives like cattle). Women's rights are integrated in most security cooperation planning and violence against women heavily factors in the issue. Win the women over and the men will follow.
