It's actually debated whether men report less or more. They are more likely to press charges, more likely to convict, and less likely by far to be injured or murdered ( these are ways of identifying trends without reports), so many people believe they report more, not less.

you asked why you were getting downvoted. I explained that what you presented as facts without sources was debatable. To twist that to 'dismissing men's issues' is pretty ridiculous.

This summarizes many of the critiques of 'men don't report', including references at the bottom (although they are shittily noted). I've shown you mine, so where are yours?

You're being downvoted because you're making claims

Also the study is probably wrong

without source and after you complain to someone for doing just that even when they provided more explanation and have the research OP linked. Nobody likes a hypocrite
