Men are actually more likely to be victims of violent crime than women, it's just that we care about women hugely more than men, and women are more likely to live in fear, whether that fear is justified or not.
One of the realisations I had is that the majority of people privately oppose equality of the sexes while saying they support it in public because of social desirability bias. It's spoken in hushed tones by the public but they would sacrifice virtually all the men to keep a single woman safe (see conscription).
