I read study from I want to say UCLA here on reddit last year that hands down proved that men are the victims of abuse from women far more often than the other way around. The reasoning behind the argument was: we don't count a woman hitting a man as abuse in our society, but we when a man hits a woman. It was quite a long piece and for the most part boring. It basically said that if a man slaps (hits,kicks, etc) a woman it is qualified as abuse, but if a woman slaps a man it is sluffed off and most people think the guy deserved it. It cited numerous police reports of men getting arrested when the officer witnessed a woman being slapped, but completely ignoring incidents of men who had been slapped. It was pretty solidly backed up by social statistics and cultural norms. Thematically was extremely interesting.

EDITED to clarify my statement. I've got a migraine today and words are hard.
