I just listed murders as an easy demonstrable statistic that can't be unreported that shows a clear distinction between men and women.
You can go to any site and look at stats and find that even while acknowledging that men underreport their abuse, they all believe that men are still more violent towards women then the reverse.

I dont know the number but i bet theyre not nearly as far apart as most people think esp once u include psychological abuse which can easily be as devastating as physical violence. And its not like its a contest of whos the biggest victims here but maybe why is that
Well rathar then just making a hunch and betting that you're right, you could actually look it up. Because at the moment you're stating that you doubt the actual known evidence just because you say so. You'll understand that's not very compelling.
I find it odd that people are even questioning that in what has been historically a predominantly patriarchal society, whose primary religion also teaches that women are subservient to men would question that there has been higher levels of violence against women by men then the reverse.
