They are ignoring the fact that gays are more accepted in society than they were 50 years ago. They are also ignoring the fact that men do not feel comfortable speaking out as victims. We do not get taken seriously as victims of physical, emotional abuse. We do not get taken seriously as victims of false accusations. We live in a world where people laugh if a woman slaps a man in public, and where men fear calling the police on their female abusers because we know we are more likely to be arrested. Plus if you speak out as someone who was falsely accused, many people especially feminists will refuse to believe you.
So of course we're not going to speak out as often. If men being victims became more normalized and we received more support, watch the false accusation rate go up, and the percentage of men being victims of domestic violence go up. Not because it is happening to us more often, but because we are more comfortable in speaking out about it.
