Lately there have been posts about female sexual abuse of men increasing over time, but at least relative to male rates, female domestic violence might also be going up.

"Incidence reports of women physically aggressing toward their male partners have appeared since the study of IPV began in the early to mid-1970s (Gelles 1974). Recently, crime statistics from the Department of Justice (DOJ) showed that in 2004, 1.3 per 1,000 men were physically assaulted by an intimate partner, most of whom were women, which represents 20% of all IPV victims that year. In contrast to the 61% decline of reported physical IPV toward women between 1993 and 2004, the rates of IPV toward men only declined 19% (Catalano 2007). In the 1995–96 National Violence Against Women Survey, 0.8% of men reported being physically assaulted by an intimate partner in the previous year (Tjaden and Thoennes 2000), which represented approximately 40% of all IPV victims during that time period. The highest rates of physical, sexual, and psychological IPV against both men and women have been found in national studies of family conflict, such as the 1975 and 1985 National Family Violence Surveys (NFVS) and the 1992 National Alcohol and Family Violence Survey (Straus 1995). After controlling for age and SES, minor physical assaults (e.g., slapping, pushing) by females toward male partners occurred at a rate of 75 per 1,000 in 1975 and 1985, and then increased to 95 per 1,000 in 1992. Rates of severe physical assaults (e.g., punching, beating up) by females toward male partners remained constant at 45 per 1,000 in all study years, which projected into approximately 2.6 million men per year who sustained physical IPV that had a high likelihood of causing an injury (Straus and Gelles 1988). Consistent with the DOJ studies, in contrast to declining rates of male-to-female physical IPV, female-to-male physical IPV remained stable over the 17-year period that spans the time between the 1975 and 1992 surveys (Straus 1995)."
