The quote does not say that violence against men should be ignored, but as a further link pointed out, women are disproportionately victims of domestic violence. Are you sure that your objection to this isn't just because it is Harriet Harman who is saying this?

Partially, I just don't like the woman. She should be making a statement about
all domestic abuse being unacceptable, rather than concentrating on just one side of it. People like her giving more publicity to that one side will only serve to increase the incorrect belief that domestic violence against men is not taken seriously - a belief shown by a survey by Men's Health to be one of the main reasons male victims don't come forward.
