Let's run some numbers. Even using the numbers that are skewed, 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men are DV victims. That's 33 women for every 25 men. 25/58 is about 40%, so men are roughly 40% of DV victims. Now wit an overall non report rate of 50%, if men have twice the non report rate women have, that means:

.4X +.6Y = .5, where X and Y are the male and female non report rates, respectively. X equals 2Y, so:

.8Y+.5Y=.5 or Y=.5/1.3, or 0.38

So that's a 38% non report rate for women and 76% non report rate for men.

Twice? Real men never tell.

I was abused by my ex, probably the biggest reason I feel like I couldn't tell anyone was the fear of people thinking I was less of a man
