All but one of my 8 closest male friends have been slapped by ex-girlfriends. I don't usually see any testimonial for this behavior in statistics. There could be a strong bias against men.

Possible, but in the spirit of statistical rigor this could also mean that 7 of your friends dated the same violent woman.

Possible bias in your choice of close male friends? That looks like a little over one data point rather than eight. To counter with one data point, it has never happened to me (male).
