So I agree that your inference is probably correct, but it is worth pointing out that the rate which a sex experiences X from their intimate partners isn't exactly the same as the rate at which the other sex does X to their partners, namely because of non-heterosexual couples.

For example, you could imagine a world where men are significantly more likely than women to commit DV, making some subset of that 28.5% men who have suffered at the hands of other men. It would also imply that gay women are less likely to experience DV, which would widen the gap further. That said, I believe many more couples are hetero than not, so maybe it wouldn't make much of a difference.

To be clear, I'm not making this specific claim about men, just illustrating that I think the statistic quoted doesn't _directly_ justify the claim "women aren't that much less likely to offend" (although it does lend credence to it)

Lesbian couples have the highest rates of DV.

You’ve made the same mistake the poster you’re replying to pointed out. Women in lesbian relationships have a high rate of having experienced domestic violence in their lives, and a study reported this which has then spread around the internet as a meme of sorts. For the vast majority of those same women, the same study reported that the domestic violence they experienced was in a previous relationship, with a man.

So, no.

Lol as always, zero accountability for women even when they are literally lesbian

Not only that, but if you actually click through to their link, they had to filter through a dozen stats illustrating your exact point to get their one (misleading) stat to claim otherwise.

A masterclass in intellectual dishonesty.

> , and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

This is absolutely the wrong statistic to apply.

This discusses the lifetime risk of ANY IPV event and does not even limit this to people who have children.

But despite being the wrong statistic, there’s 25% increase in lifetime risk for women over men

You're quoting statistics on victims but talking about offenders.

Not to mention when you start looking into domestic violence rates among lesbian couples

> experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking

Some quantification is needed here to make this list have any meaning. Rape stands alone, but physical violence and stalking can mean a lot in terms of damage and threat level. A single slap falls under the same general category of physical violence as a full-on fist beating. Stalking can be showing up the gym at their scheduled time, or it can be camping outside of their house.

But men are the perpetrator in around 75% of all domestic or family violence cases, if you read the stats a bit more carefully. You have got to be careful of people mixing perp and victim data, and also lumping stats. Both of which are present in your post, along with cherry picking the one and only piece of data on that site that (kinda) supports your point!

Truth is men are responsible for most violence, most rape, most sexual assault, serious injury or death.

It is also important to remember that most perpetrators are men != most men are perpetrators.

And, the truth is also that women commit abuse at about the same rate as men. They are just as likely to abuse their kids, their partners, or their family. That abuse is just more likely to show up as emotional or coercive rather than physical.

>supports your point! Truth is men are responsible for most violence, most rape, most sexual assault, serious injury or death.

Now do black people you man hating bully

Scott Adams, is that you?
