In my previous job, I dealt with more than the occasional male victim of DV....one in particular, where a 19 stone, 6'4" builder was being physically and mentally abused by his 8st, 5'3" girlfriend. She totally f*cked with his mind and gaslighted the hell out of him.
Hard to believe but as choffer implies, the media narrative is often wrong. There is no shame or stigma attached to this, nor should there be.
