There is a stigma for a man to say he is being abused by a smaller woman though. That would also make men hiesitant to file charges. Plus, what do you do if the police take a look at the sizes and simply right it off as not an issue since she isnt big enough to hurt him.

Its kind of ironic that in another post here on this forum,I read how some people said it was not abuse if a man "blocked" a blow from a woman and got hit in the arm. There is a big double standard here. If a woman blocked a blow from a man and he hit her arm and she said he hit her arm, would they consider it abuse or a "blocked blow" and therefore didnt matter?

IMO you definitely need to do something. But just like men are often made to leave a house when the police show up at a domestic dispute, you may be told you have to leave even though she is doing it. In otherw words, dont expect it to go as you would think it should when you do report her. Maybe I am just being cynical today.
