Due to social stigmas regarding male victimization, men who are victims of domestic violence face an increased likelihood of being overlooked by healthcare providers. According to some, women 's violence towards men is a serious social problem.In D.R. Loseke, R.J. Gelles & M.M. Cavanaugh (Eds.), Current controversies on family violence (2nd edition, pp. 55–77). Newbury Park: Sage Publications. While much attention has been focused on domestic violence against women, certain researchers have argued that domestic violence against men is a substantial social problem worthy of attention. The issue of victimization of men by women has been contentious, due in part to studies which report drastically different statistics regarding domestic violence. There are many, particularly those associated with MRA groups, who contend that men and women commit equivalent or similar rates of minor intimate partner violence via physical altercation, however the evidence for this is contentious and potentially misleading, relying on surveys in which the range of what can be called violence is particularly broad, the number of incidents is not recorded and nor is the context (whether the violence is actually committed in self-defence). More severe perpetration of physical violence tends to be committed by men, Pdf. and victimization reports generally show women being more likely to experience domestic violence than men.Desmarais, Sara L. Reeves, Kim A. Nicholls, Tonia L. Telford, Robin P. Fiebert, Martin S. "Prevalence of Physical Violence in Intimate Relationships, Part 1: Rates of Male and Female Victimization." Partner Abuse, Volume 3, Number 2, 2012. DOI: 10.1891/1946-6560.3.2.140 A 2013 review of the literature that combined perpetration and victimization reports indicate that, worldwide, most studies only look at female victimization. The review examined studies from five continents and the correlation between a country's level of gender inequality and rates of domestic violence. The authors focused particularly on one study which found partner abuse to be relatively evenin contrast to most studies which found that domestic violence was predominantly perpetrated by men . They also stated if one examines who is physically harmed and how seriously, expresses more fear, and experiences subsequent psychological problems, domestic violence is significantly gendered toward women as victims.

The authors found that when partner abuse is defined broadly to include emotional abuse, any kind of hitting, and who hits first, partner abuse is relatively even .
