I think he was insinuating that it very rarely happens, whereas women are literally being murdered by the score in this country. By Men.
71 in 2016. That's
more than one a week.For men, 1 in 20 are victims of domestic violence
For women, 1 in 8.
Surely you can see that Domestic Violence is more of a concern for a Woman than a Man. Not to say it doesn't happen, buts its entrenched and systemic, rather than ad hoc.

Female professors at Ivy league colleges have actually tried to find evidence of a "gender pay gap" where females are being paid less for the exact same job in the same companies, and have come up with very few examples. There are men that are paid less for the same job than women in some places. Crazy hey?
I suggest that if you know of a woman being underpaid in comparison to a male in the same position, you tell her she should report it and seek legal action, as it is illegal, and she already has the right to fair pay.
The pay gap is often debated - you'll get the MRA types and spreadsheet boffins argue that once you correct for this and that and remove this variable and this metric ... oh hey look there isn't a gap!! How preposterous. The argument is about why those factors cause a pay gap, not that they don't exist.
Of course a female lawyer is paid the same as a male lawyer. Of course a role requiring a Tafe cert 3 in book keeping shouldn't be paid the same as a job requiring 7 years of medical study. That's not what is about - instead focus on how we undervalue work if a woman does it and why we punish Women for choosing things we expect them to through societal norms.
For example, when Men migrate into Female dominated roles, pay goes up, when Women migrate into Male dominated roles, pay goes down. Why?
