Men (especially young boys) are more likely to be victims of random violence.
Women tend to receive violence from friends and family in the home.
For whatever that's worth

You're missing the context of WHEN THEY ARE the targets. Women are more often on the receiving end for both. Just because one gender gets one type of violence more often, still doesn't mean they receive more instances of it over the other.

Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.
Wait, no. It's the opposite.
Cis men experience more of every non-sexual form of violence than cis women on average, to the point where they experience more incidents of overall violence.
The fun part is when you start digging into where that violence is coming from....

Reminds me of an episode of "Cheers." Cliff calls a woman and starts heavy breathing into the phone, then he's surprised when she hangs up.
"My mom always laughs when I do it to her!"
I recently discovered that, at the beginning of Cheers, Cliff was some five years younger than I currently am, and I'm not happy about this AT ALL.
I saw this one posted recently. Two British actors, both 34 in their respective photographs. One is Sean Connery, born in 1960 so the photo was taken in 1964/65, the other is Thomas Brodie Sangster, born in 1990.
Sean Connery's path to 34 involved a lot more drinking and smoking. Sangster presumably has a skincare routine. But, still, it's striking.
P.S. That isn't Connery's natural hair.
Christ, that's astonishing.
