I got into the original thread and everything was deleted. I figured they where all just controversial comments, but reading the comments in your link it seems like they just wanted to censor this video.
I don't think the video distorts the perception of severity, it simply does not make any such claims, so that is perhaps more due to perception bias.
On that point, though, maybe the video should give more reference to how violence affects men and women differently on physical and psychological levels. I would love to see a study on mental health affecting either gender around domestic violence.
Until then, I think it's healthy to expose young people to all viewpoints.
Whilst what you say is factually correct, you cant "pick and choose" with equality. Equality by nature means focusing on everyones problems and fixing them. So saying "but women account for ~60% of domestic violence victims" is true, but completely missing the point. We should aim to end all domestic violence, against men and women. We shouldn't say "women are more likely to be affected by it, so only try and stop it for them" as that is the direct opposite of equality.
The fact you said "we can't dilute this point by turning to the violence is violence argument" shutsdown all opposing arguments, which is allowing you to push a women's only agenda. When, we should in fact be striving to end it for men and women alike. You are turning this into a competition, which is quite frankly, pretty disturbing for someone preaching equality.
Sorry for poor formatting / grammar; was typed on a phone.
I just wanted to thank you for your comment, and that I don't think it deserves the downvotes. I don't think I agree with the applicability of the arguments you bring up in the given circumstances, but it certainly made me think! Thanks for that!

Does this include unreported domestic abuse? I would be willing to bet most men don't report domestic abuse when it happens from their partner.
