That's sexism. It's equally as unacceptable to use violence against a man as a woman.
I see what you are saying. But no. It's not the same. Women have been historically discriminated and abused, in backward places like the US they still are. This context of abuse and discrimination does make the attack worse. Not because it is worse for the person, but because discriminated people have less accessibiliry to health and social services they need to recover from being attacked. Because it is harder to get help if you're not a passing white man in the US, it is not the same to be hurt if you don't have pale skin, speak north American English, and 'look' male, it is worse.
