Lifetime domestic violence rates among men, even adjusting for unreported events, is around half that of women.
That means that the answer to “why is my wife yelling at me?” is about half as likely to be “domestic abuse” than it is for “why is my husband yelling at me?”
Context is crucial for establishing double standards.
Usually by using the most generous estimates that come from looking at the statistical differences between stats like actual reports and results from anonymous studies, that’s just 2 examples, I’m sure staticians use way more data, and then turn that into “for every reported x, there’s y unreported” then you just apply the pre-algebra and compare the adjusted number to which ever stat for women (the unfair answer here is then not adjusting for unreported in women, which would probably be a lower number than men but still)

Question how does one adjust for ‘unreported events’. It’d be like 50% of the universe is female when adjusting for Alien Life forms.
