Nothing funny
I don't think it's funny at all, it's wrong. I think the reason that you don't see as much about it is this: It is wrong, illegal, stupid and low-class if I hit my husband. I don't and won't. But if I did, it really wouldn't make much impact on him or his health. If he hit me (even hit me back), I would likely end up with a broken nose or orbital blowout fracture. I haven't got the power to really hurt him, and he does have the power (literally) to put me in the hospital.
That's just my theory, brightstar, about why we hear more about m.v.f. domestic violence. It's kind of like car vs. bicycle. For all I know, bikes run into cars all the time. But when cars run into bikes, often someone is gravely injured or dies.
