Not all shelters are motivated so much by lack of sympathy for battered men

victims when I worked at a women's shelter. It can be a simple measure of
protection.

ITA! I had to spirit one client and her kids away during the night
once her husband attempted to breach our security. Terribly
frightening.

I agree that there is more of a stigma around being a battered man that
prevents them from getting help though.

The thinking seems to be that men have more resources available to
them. That may or may not be true in all cases.
