If only the concern expressed about that was proportionate to the incidence rather than deflection from more typical patterns of abuse.

what level of statistical prevalence is necessary before somebody's life experience becomes valid for them to talk about?

None. But again, many people talking about this issue aren't doing so out of personal experience.

If the people talking about it were the people experiencing it, then it *would* be proportional.

bringing it up here is tantamount to an assertion that the people who do have the life experience need to shut up in order to compensate for the people who are talking about it without the life experience

No, it really isn't. "But women can be abusive too" is a really common deflection tactic when a man is accused of abuse.
