The behavior of the abuser has absolutely nothing to do with the size of that person. Small, petite, or demure people are just as likely, perhaps more so, to abuse as large, muscular people. The physical build of the abused also has nothing to do with the situation. Large people are just as often abused as small people. The only thing that consistently marks the abused is perhaps a milder, less secure personality, but even that can be debated (which will not happen on WA on my watch).
Now, as to the "force" issue. This is an antiquated paradigm that comes from the "rape is about control not sex" argument. Sorry, gotta throw a flag on that play. Rape and sexual assault do have to do with control, but not so much control of the abused by the abuser. It is far more complex than that. The abuser is often seeking to find a way to control his or her own life, or issues within his or her own life. Sexual behavior offers something that only certain forms of drug use offer--the release of endorphins and other neuro-chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine--explanation of this is far too complex to enter into here, and would require at least a masters level course to explain in any meaningful way.
Abuse, assault, rape have little to nothing to do with force or control of the abused, and when they do, it is more of a peripheral issue than a primary one.
As to the "under reporting" of any crime, stating such or any reasons for the occurrence is purely speculative, and lacking evidence (which is the natural state of such arguments) cannot be proven to even the most minute level.
Now to the anecdotal that blows much of the above the line contributions out of the water:
In 1983 I was stationed with the Army in a small town in southern Germany. One night, as I and a few friends were returning from a meal in town, we heard screaming and witnessed two people running across the parking lot in front of our barracks building. Being normal humans, we went to rubberneck. As we approached, we saw a very petite German woman rip the antenna from a car, and begin beating our very large unit First Sergeant with it. Top, to our surprise did nothing to disarm his attacker; it was him we heard screaming, and when we jumped in to pull the woman away from him and disarm her, Top was doing his best to wriggle under the BMW from where the antenna had been torn.
To paint this picture more completely: Top was a heavily decorated veteran of the Vietnam War. He had received at least two Purple Hearts for injuries he received in combat, and at least one Bronze Star for valor in combat. He had served at least 20 years in the Infantry and Ranger units before being promoted and assigned to our Artillery unit. Top was well over six feet tall, and weighed in at a muscular 190ish. His attacker was maybe five feet tall (perhaps less), and would have to have held two standard Bowling balls to weigh in at 100 pounds.
Size has nothing to do with it. Control of the abused rarely has anything, if anything at all to do with it.
Please, confine simple answers to simple problems. This is not one of those.
