Click baity headline:

One in three men (32%) aged 18 to 57 years report using emotional abuse towards a partner. One in ten (9%) say they have used physical violence.

9% is way to high and definitely a problem that needs addressed. But the article mentions multiple times stuff like:

Overall, among the 120,000 men surveyed, one in three (35%) said they’d used a form of violence towards an intimate partner in their adult life.

Like, obviously not defending emotional abuse, but it really shouldn’t fall under “violence”.

It’s 100% a form of abuse and a serious issue, just not “violence”.
