Maybe! I don't know if "gendered violence against men" also has the same connotations.

Maybe this is indeed is a case of those people poisoning the term.

"Don't forget about gendered violence against boys!" would be a likely response to a statement about men.

It is absolutely a case of a term being poisoned, which does mean it needs to be treated more carefully but sucks when there isn't an alternative.
