Researching domestic violence and found something interesting, nearly all the DV programs in the western world are built around what's called "The Duluth model"
Further research on The Duluth model indicates that the Duluth model is openly and blatantly founded not on science or evidence, but, on feminist theory.
And it operates on the assumption that men can't be victims of DV "because... Patriarchy"

Uh..... I'm here for the gangbang?

Yikes! I didn't know that. But it's unfortunately not surprising. Socialist framing is typically imported into every field, making all conflicts into a simplistic fight between the "haves vs. have nots." Racism, for example, is redefined from "race-based discrimination" to, the no sociological sense of "discrimination against a marginalized group on the basis of race/ethnicity." In that way, there is no 'racism against whites' since that's not considered a marginalized group.

I'm not surprised to see the same thing happening with respect to domestic abuse. Even as recent studies are showing a far higher rate (and perhaps a growing rate) of female-to-male violence, the standing assumption that only men are abusers is the "common sense" assumption framing and narrating the the story of homelife in America.

When marxism commandeered feminist thought, as it does with everything it touches, it exploited the classic "battle of the sexes" (a real and timeless dance of sorts throughout human history) and turned it into a simplistic power struggle where the man has power and the woman doesn't, so she needs to rebel in a customarily marxist fashion overturning the patriarchy, shunning traditional marriage, and scorning maternity. In this way we find some really weird outcomes that are supposedly tied into "women's rights." Ex., stay-at-home moms are considered "domestic slaves" (Betty Friedan). Abortion becomes the emblem of women's liberation even thought it's a direct and violent assault on maternity itself (and procreation is still the most unique, sublime, and indispensable contribution of womankind). It's as if women must become men before equal rights can be granted, even if that means killing motherhood itself.

But I digress. Sadly, feminism is a huge influence in things like rape-statistics, #metoo, and domestic abuse stats. So, even if the real problem of violence against women is a dire emergency, it's tough to identify what's real and what's fake because so many groups are busy exploiting and distorting those topics for political gain.

I’m not surprised. Toxic masculinity is the rage and the fight against the patriarchy continues. Straight old white men need not apply except for the role of rapist, abuser, criminal.

Where I live, there are many safe places, for women. There are halfway houses, woman's shelters all over. They sit, fully funded and mostly empty. Those who do stay in them bounce from spot to spot, essentially living rent free, collecting benefits. Meanwhile, men are told that the closest homeless shelter is 1.5 hours away. This or jail, is the only place for a man to stay, if a woman kicks him out. I've been unofficially ejected from MY home, by police. A girl I was seeing had been staying with me, for a couple of weeks. She got drunk and we had an argument. I pushed her out the door and locked it. She proceeded to kick my door in, while I was on the phone with police. When they arrived, she was given "squatter's rights" and I was told to "find somewhere to go, till things calm down". I literally had to take her to court, to evict a guest. I had to supply a 30 day notice from me and my landlord. This ultimately caused the termination of my lease and caused me a lot of trouble. Funny, how I was the one to act like an adult, call police and I was put in cuffs, during the conversation then told to leave my appartment. You don't even want to know how child custody suits and family court go, here. The sad part is, this was all getting better, until the me too, believe and other movements came around. . . Social justice, indeed

Mate, that sounds about right.
Things are very similar here.
Fathers get no say in regards to their children, if they get to see them after a divorce/split, it's more or less only if the mother gives the go ahead.
Men are not believed or taken seriously in regards to being victims of DV or sexual assault.
No male shelters, no funding for make victims.
On and on it goes.
