Nae, you do.
Men are less likely to say they are the victim, specially if the aggressor is the wife. Men are supposed to “man up” if they have problems. Statistics show that women can and are agressors.
And, most important, just because there might be less men who are victims doesnt mean they should not get the very same help if they need it. Coming around with a shitty “oh, its science!” argument is lame and perpetuates the stupid role model where men are not and cannot be the victim and if that it is not bad because its only a few.
Any victim, no matter the gender, deserves help, no matter how many there are, period.
Your statementade me google the statistics and reports for my country (Germany) and i found a credible source that says that up to 40% of victims of relationship-violence are men and that the numbers might be even higher as men dont talk aboit this, its a “taboo” cause men need to be tough and all.
Just sharing my source, maybe you have one too? Would be interested to read more into this.
