yes - I appreciate that would be the case; not only do you suffer the case, but also suffer people taking it as a kind of joke afterwards.
but - at the same time, I do think there are unique aspects of a male abusing a female as well (especially - and without meaning to be sexist - I think it would be very uncommon in a male/female partnership that the female is stronger and more aggressive than the male [even in cases when the female is violent and abusive])
