What this meme claims is not actually true, but you'd be surprised how many women do actually torment the men in their lives.
This is word for word from a study by NIH. A sizable minority of individuals arrested for domestic violence each year in the United States is female. For example, a study conducted in Tennessee found that 16% of those arrested for intimate partner violence were female (Feder & Henning, 2005); in Concord, New Hampshire, women comprised 35% of those arrested.
Many of these women are court-mandated to receive services, such as a batterer intervention program or anger management program. The military also provides services for a large number of women identified as committing physical abuse against a spouse.
One study of 2,991 Air Force personnel who committed physical abuse against a spouse found that 23% of the offenders were female. Another study of reports of spouse abuse in the Army Central Registry from 1989 to 1997 found that 33% of persons identified as domestic violence offenders were women...
Now look at the stats for gay women in relationships. WOW. There is NO DEMOGRAPHIC pairing with THEIR domestic violence stats. Thankfully they all seem to want to adopt children so they can watch that garbage........
ReplyDeleteThrough a life where I didn't get married until I was 30, a 22+ year marriage, a divorce, and 18 years of post-divorce "singleness" (but with several monogamous relationships spanning multiple years) I have never been violent to my female counterparts. But I had one relationship where she struck me and threw things.
ReplyDeleteI think women fear violence from men (and given the physical disparities, it's obvious why) but I think women are far more likely to blowup emotionally and become violent, but their men aren't terribly afraid of them.
Spousal abuse: men did not say much because hey who would believe I let my wife beat me up, men have been taught not to hit a woman yet women have been taught they can hit a man and expect not to get hit back. It's all mental disease, basic now if you hit a person be prepared to get hit back, no holds barred. My dad always told me, get in a fight, get them down and do not let them back up. Always keep the upper hand.
