Sure, if you don't factor in the futility men grapple with when wondering whether to take a complaint to the police... or the discretion police have in choosing not to report a female perpetrator at all when a call is made.
The reason I say this is that an official Stats Canada report from the early/mid 2010s indicated that 418,000 men and 342,000 women self-reported being victims of spousal violence in the preceding 5 years. Yes, men were the majority of self-reported victims. However, if you look at the Ministry of Women's Issues for Ontario, statistics there suggest women represent 80% of the victims of police-reported domestic violence. Police do not report or treat male- and female-led crimes equally.
(Aside: Pair the Stats Canada figures with the 2010 CDC study on domestic violence rates in couples by sexual orientation and it will illustrate that gay men have the least amount of domestic violence and lesbians have the most, so don't bother thinking that men might be hitting each other).
Women are just as handsy as men, and they're conditioned to think their gropes are harmless and/or always wanted, and the legal system is less inclined to take their misgivings seriously. The reality is no one has the statistics on the matter, but from the context of other stats, I'm convinced male and female sexual assault rates are at parity.
Men don't commit 98% of sexual assaults.
I think it's still in the 80's.
