“Often women are more emotional because the relationship matters a lot to them, and while that may come out in a push or a shove or a grab, all of which are considered dating violence, it doesn’t have the effect of intimidating the man.”

What an obvious attempt to rationalize away the results. Even if the man isn't physically intimidated, you'd better believe he's legally and socioculturally intimidated--precisely on account of the anti-male biases we all know exist (and which are quite evident in the article.)

The idea that one gender is somehow "more evil" than the other is pure, unadulterated sexism.

When I'm out shopping with my wife, I would definitely say that men are the more considerate in public. I always see men getting out of somebody's way while saying to the wife, "Careful, honey, this person and their cart need to get by." The women generally don't give a crap if they're blocking an entire aisle and are oblivious to anybody trying to squeeze by. It's the whole world's job to stay the hell out of her way. Maybe that's just my locale, but that's my observation whenever I go to the store.
