Hi Eugine. Women may be less violent than men outside the home, but not within it, and that's been known for decades. That's relevant to the point Diego made about female perpetrators and male victims of domestic violence.

Women are more likely to be abused by female partners than by male partners, the most violent couples are lesbian couples:

The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (PASK) domesticviolenceresearc… was published in May 2013 in the journal Partner Abuse and is the most comprehensive review of domestic violence research ever carried out. This unparallelled three-year research project was conducted by 42 scholars at 20 universities and research centres. The headline finding of the PASK review was that:

"Men and women perpetrate physical and non-physical forms of abuse at comparable rates, most domestic violence is mutual, women are as controlling as men, domestic violence by men and women is correlated with essentially the same risk factors, and male and female perpetrators are motivated for similar reasons."

A key numerical result from the PASK review was:

"Among large population samples, 57.9% of intimate-partner violence (IPV) reported was bi-directional, 42.1% unidirectional, 13.8% of the unidirectional violence was male-to-female, 28.3% was female-to-male."

The last point is worth emphasising. In the 42.1% of (heterosexual) couples in which one partner is always the perpetrator and the other the victim, the woman is TWICE as likely to be the perpetrator and (therefore) half as likely to be the victim.

I invite followers of Janice's Substack acoount to attend the next International Conference on Men's Issues, to be held in Budapest next August icmi2024.icmi.info. Janice will again be the keynote speaker.
