Yes. I believe that is true for many men. Women can be cruel to some men, but there is rarely the physical violence threat that men always potentially pose, to a woman.

Even some women's cruelty towards men hitting on them becomes a thing because many men feel they have the right to push themselves on women. Even if they have been told politely to buzz off.

The faux masculinity often reacts violently towards women, and as the article mentions, men have often been given a pass for their violent behavior.
