Simply stated, the female victim, male aggressor paradigm not only hurts heterosexual men, it is harmful to the LBGTQ community as well.

For instance, the argument that female initiated violence is less severe, and therefore less harmful sends the wrong message to same sex female couples. This impacts reporting of violence in addition to seeking help etc.

The impact on same sex male couples is more pronounced. Not only are there barriers to reporting, they are equally impacted by the lack of resources for male victims of domestic violence as their heterosexual counterparts.

I can’t even begin to think how problematic this world view is for trans ( transitioned or not ) community, not to mention non-binary etc.

I won’t go into the impacts on heterosexual male populations as I hope were all well versed in that regard.

Essentially, it’s an archaic view on a significant social issue that only serves the needs of heterosexual females while posing problems for everyone else.
