One might say that this sexist bias is the problem, and one that the original blogger seeks to exacerbate.

One might, but I certainly wouldn't. I believe that violence against men is a very serious problem, and one which has barely begun to get addressed.

I would like to see a serious attempt to oppose violence against people, but no one seems to have figured out that it's worth doing and/or found a way to organize it.

Once you've decided that both goals are worth pursuing, an important question is whether violence against women might be reduced by different means than violence against men.
