      I guess the argument is that you don’t want to discount the minority of victims just because of them being a minority.

      It also helps frame conversations as abusers vs victims instead of men vs women, because the latter currently leaves male victims without a voice.

        I used to live upstairs from a couple with DV issues.

        The victim was the 6’+ 200lb+ man in his 20s. The offender was a smaller woman. I felt so sorry for that guy. I’m sure people were reluctant to take him seriously, but she was unhinged when angry. Throwing pots and pans at him, pulling knives, etc…
