    I think this is much more likely to be due to stigma of reporting, how likely it is to be recorded, and perhaps legal classifications changing which statistics bin things get tallied in; than it is to be an accurate reflection of prevalence on actual instances.

    For instance, in the US police are trained in the Duluth Model of domestic violence. This uses the lens of men’s structural power in society, which can erase the situation of individuals. It also struggles to deal with queer couples without projecting inappropriate gender stereotypes.

      If you think that kind of sexism is not as rampant in the counties form the top post I’m afraid your world view is a bit too optimistic. I think it’s entirely possible that it’s correct just because those countries are top scorers in domestic violence, from any side.

        People abusing people is no accomplishment. It is especially disgusting to pick a champion for it based on a physical trait.
