Here's another fun fact: when polled with the question "have you ever been abused by a partner", hardly any men said yes, whereas several women said yes.
When the question is changed to "have you ever been struck by a partner hard enough to bruise or draw blood" the results are basically 50/50.
Men are under societal pressure not to admit to or report domestic abuse, even though it is a huge problem, because of the stigma that admitting that (even to themselves) would cause.
Most men also report being too scared to fight back or even properly defend themselves because of how that might be perceived.
Ignoring issues like these completely destroys any hope of true equality. Something that I genuinely believe in, by the way. Men and women are indeed unequal in many ways - to the benefit and detriment of both in different circumstances. That is what needs to be addressed. And that is why I despise the modern feminist movement and fully believe that all it will ever achieve is gender division and further inequalities.
