Just a quick note: women do commit domestic violence. In fact, lesbians are more likely to commit domestic violence against a partner than men are. Also, in heterosexual relationships, men and women are about equally likely to hit their partner - although men who are hit are probably less injured and less likely to report it (both because the injury is less significant and because it's embarrassing for a man to admit that he can't handle a woman's physical aggression).
Regarding lesbian domestic violence: > "The National Violence Against Women survey found that 21.5 percent of men and 35.4 percent of women living with a same-sex partner experienced intimate-partner physical violence in their lifetimes, compared with 7.1% and 20.4% for men and women, respectively, with a history of only opposite-sex cohabitation... These studies refute the myths that only straight women get battered, that men are never victims, and that women never batter." 2 Studies That Prove Domestic Violence Is an LGBT Issue | Advocate.com In other words: - 7.1% of heterosexual males have experienced intimate-partner physical violence in their lifetime. - 20.4% of heterosexual females have experienced intimate-partner physical violence in their lifetime. - 21.5% of homosexual males have experienced intimate-partner physical violence in their lifetime. - 35.4% of homosexual females have experienced intimate-partner physical violence in their lifetime. And another quote: "About 17-45% of lesbians report having been the victim of a least one act of physical violence perpetrated by a lesbian partner" Source: https://mainweb-v.musc.edu/vawpreven...actsheet.shtml Last edited by MrBrit; 03-10-2015 at 07:51 PM. |
