Statistically [...] one-third of all victims are male.

At least they get a mention, but I think it could well be more than that.

Data from Home Office statistical bulletins and the British Crime Survey show that men made up about 40% of domestic violence victims each year

According to a 2010 national survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Department of Justice, in the last 12 months more men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence and over 40% of severe physical violence was directed at men.

Men in Sweden are at least as, if not more, likely than women to be victims of domestic violence, according to researchers at Sahlgrenska Academy in Gothenburg, who also found that women nevertheless suffer more adverse health effects.

In two related studies, researchers surveyed 1,400 Swedes about domestic violence and found that 8 to 11 percent of men reported being victims of physical violence at the hands of their spouse in the past year.

The corresponding figure for women was 8 percent.

Women are more likely to be verbally and physically aggressive towards their partners than men [...] Analysis showed that women were more likely to be physically aggressive to their partners than men and that men were more likely to be physically aggressive to their same-sex others.

Furthermore, women engaged in significantly higher levels of controlling behaviour than men, which significantly predicted physical aggression in both sexes.

Except that if you're a man you better think twice about putting a black dot on your hand, because it will probably get you arrested.
