I guess you could say it's like comparing a war between two nations. Both nations are killing people, and the side killing the most people are often seen as evil, making the opposite nation look good, excusing it's actions.
It's a way to justify something in order to avoid the issue at hand, and I admit I did that with my first comment here. After thinking more about the problem at hand, there is no reason to focus more on one side rather than the other, especially when it comes to the western countries where these male problems are most common.
