privilege in this case because a woman is seen as having the right to hit a man in certain circumstances, but the reverse is never true.

See the following post in this thread by eekMD. There are tons of instances of men being hit by women on TV and the women are seen as good people before and after, they can even be the protagonists in the story. I am talking about cases where the woman was never hit or otherwise had any violence against her by the male in question.

It thus would not surprise me if men were the victims of more domestic violence than women. There is so often no consequence to it for women.
