I'm sorry but the vast, vast majority of physical abusers are male... Like it's not even comparable. Everyone should be aware of that, it doesn't just affect women... It's men abusing women, men abusing transwomen, men in gay relationships abusing other men... It just... Is.
That's not to say that women can't be abusive or that men can't experience abuse but the vast majority of that abuse is of a psychological/coercive nature and there's no real physical threat.
And that's not even saying that one is necessarily "worse" than the other; psychological abuse can be devastating.
HOWEVER, one requires literal safe physical spaces and one requires purely emotional/practical intervention so it's not really part of the discussion. When abusive men come after their partners for leaving, those partners all too often end up raped, assaulted, or dead. It's offensive to make it a direct comparison to be honest.
