I don't know any specific cases, but one thing I've heard that police (at least in Brazil) will just laugh at and ignore, is when a man is the victim of an abusive partner.
Of course, it's nowhere as common as men being the violent/abusive partner, but it happens, yet "society" will effectively say "grow a pair"
It's funny how when talking about male victimization, people always feel the need to throw in a disclaimer that men are still "worse"
Which, I mean, they are:

That's not to downplay male victimization incidents, but let's also not pretend the scale is the same.
Most studies show domestic abuse is almost always close 50/50 in perpetrators.
I doubt that very much, especially in relation to physical abuse and coercive control.
Can you show me some of these studies?
