What the stats you cherry-pick (well more than half have been discredited after the most cursory of reviews) in an effort to prove your point fail to account for is the level or degree of violence.
As Troutman pointed out, based on newspaper reports, the level of violence by men against women outpaces the level of violence by women against men. If you don't know what I mean, a man beating his wife to a bloody pulp is not equivalent to a woman slapping a man across the face.
Yes, wives occasionally murder their husbands, but for your suggestion that there are the same number of men receiving the same level of violence against them as women face by men, in Canada at least, is laughable.
Simple logic would lead one to conclude the larger, stronger partner is able to inflict much more physical damage and in cases where the man is the sole bread-winner in the household, he is able to use economic abuse as well.
Quit pretending violence against men is in any way equivalent to violence agains women.
