Sadly, this has been going on for close to a century. Somehow, I get downvoted when I point this out on the men's rights subreddit.

Probably omitted because it undermines the sympathy and view that women can only be victims in a situation of physical and mental abuse. Telling the reader that women are more likely to hit their partner doesn't really help spread the message that they need protecting from the big bad bullies.

OH MY GOD A CARTOON ON A BLOG ON THE INTERNET DOESN'T ADHERE TO MR'S POLITICAL CORRECTNESS CONCERNING DV!!

Instead of getting angry about cartoons, why don't you guys use the energy you spend finding these cartoons to get angry over for something good - like volunteering at a local DV organization as a counselor specifically for men?
