Exactly!
The UK has crafted a system where male victims are actively ignored and if not ignored told "You are actually the abuser!"

So why would any man in the UK report their abuse knowing that it will either be ignored or make things worse for themselves?

Oh and to top it all off men who DO report their abuse will have it recorded under VAWAG (Violence Against Women And Girls) so even then when they are considered victims of violence it is only in the context of "Women are the actual victims"

And you are also correct in regards to Judges being more lenient against women who are charged with crimes..
In most cases of a man abusing his partner a jail sentence is imposed to help the victim feel safe..
But in the UK women who are abusers often get suspended sentences which means they get let back out into the community and so their victims are likely to run into them on the street and feel re-victimized... by that..

But Men are not the correct gender to be considered "victims" it seems..
