You are not reading the feedback. You have such a feminist bias that you only think of female abusers and male victims. This is your problem. We believe in equality and paying attention to both male and female victims--you don't.

Women perpetrate more intimate partner violence than men in the USA:

Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases. Reciprocity was associated with more frequent violence among women (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=2.3; 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.9, 2.8), but not men (AOR=1.26; 95% CI=0.9, 1.7). Regarding injury, men were more likely to inflict injury than were women (AOR=1.3; 95% CI=1.1, 1.5), and reciprocal intimate partner violence was associated with greater injury than was nonreciprocal intimate partner violence regardless of the gender of the perpetrator (AOR=4.4; 95% CI=3.6, 5.5).

That is not what that source says. It said that "In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases." This is not necessarily the same as "Women perpetrate more intimate partner violence than men in the USA." The study solely gauged physical intimate partner violence and enlisted participants between ages eighteen and twenty-eight years old only. Certain individuals may extend their interpretation of "more violence" to encapsulate the frequency of acts within each relationship, not just a tally of relationships alone. In addition, the survey items utilized for quantifying aggression might inadvertently categorize self-defense actions as mutually violent responses. There are other studies addressing some of these points, that is not what this comment is about. I am aware that not all IPV by women is self-defense.

Phrase things more carefully. Transitioning from expressions such as "(wo)men are 'X'" to a more academically sound statement like "I have read research reporting (wo)men may be 'X'" signifies not only an admission that these findings stem from empirical evidence but also demonstrates awareness that conclusions drawn in the field of study often carry degrees of uncertainty and are subject to interpretation. It acknowledges potential alternative studies or differing methodologies which may yield contrasting results. This reflects inherent ambiguities within research rather than implying any deficiency on behalf of a particular survey. Should you possess knowledge concerning a particular matter along with an understanding of its foundational research methodologies, fell free to articulate why you favor one above another in accordance with these insights (do not respond to this comment, edit yours or keep it in mind for the future). Refrain from construing your stance as truth even in those instances. You are presenting your assessment of the evidence, not "the truth".

Keep in mind that these statistics only reflect acts reported in those studies, which may introduce bias even when asking about specific behaviors. This means that participants need to acknowledge their victimization to some degree, even if it may not reflect the actual type, severity, or frequency of abuse. Some men (and women) may not acknowledge their victimization to an accurate degree (or at all), not even in an anonymous survey. Not even in response to behavioral items that do not use the term "abuse". This may be due to intricacies in gendered abuse dynamics, societal responses to these occurrences, how victims experience and make sense of it, how it is represented in the media. All facets combined paint a complex backdrop against which recognition and acknowledgement of abuse, its severity, and its impacts is intricately woven, possibly disproportionately underestimating male victimization. This may be even more pronounced for sexual abuse, where there is an expectation of consent-by-default for men.

Be aware that this comment is about the manner in which things were articulated.
