<p>Of course, men can be in danger, too. The only severe violence I am personally familiar with was commited against men. One was a high school kid I know who had seven bones broken in his face alone. The other was an adult family member who was thought to be in a gang and was very seriously beaten in front of his young son. He no longer walks with a cane (over ten years later), but his recovery was a very long road. I know several male victims of rape. The most recent string of attacks near my college have almost all been against men. Unfortunately, many men do not take safety precautions because they believe that they are safe.</p>
