You've confused violence with lethality. It's absolutely true that more male attacks against their partners are lethal. However, it is not true that most violence or even most violence serious enough to require first aid is committed by the male partner.
There have been dozens of studies conducted across multiple countries showing that very similar rates of men and women report being the victims of domestic violence (despite cultural norms that make male reporting difficult). Newer studies regarding the treatment of minor injuries sustained from DV are also actually show greater numbers of male victims of female attackers.
One of the biggest problems in dealing with this issue is the general incredulity the public have that women could be aggressors.
Several of these studies are listed at the bottom of this page: http://www.mensrights.com.au/page13y.htm http://www.mensrights.com.au/page13y.htm
