Just look at the general attitude towards men being assaulted by women and how casually it's treated. I watched a social experiment online where actors simulated domestic abuse in public and barely anyone cared when the man was the victim, some even said they assumed he deserved it. Then there's when The View panelists laughed at the story of a woman castrating her husband and when one of them brought up the double standard, the response was, and I quote, "It's different". It's things like this that result in male victims of domestic violence being less inclined to speak out, because there's still a disturbing trend of female-on-male violence being seen as funny and/or warranted.
So no, nobody's making anything up.

..yeah I totally agree Lostie and said earlier that some of those social experiments are extremely disturbing because it's not just that reactions are less to help a male but also that I many situations, it's actually laughed at and go girl, type thing in applauding the female....
