"In Canada and the United States, women use violence in intimate relationships to the same extent as men, for the same reasons, and with largely the same results." - Quote - 2011

I'd say they have largely more effective results (because good luck getting defended from your wife if you're a man) but I shouldn't nitpick when it's going against the bs narrative.

Literally all non-feminist (or even non-radfem) experts and researchers knew this since mid-1970s. Erin Pizzey knew it even earlier.

If anyone's interested there's about 300 sources total indicating women are just as, if not more violent than men in relationships, and by a fairly wide margin.

And yet the Duluth model, which holds men are taught to be violent under the patriarchy and women only act in self defense, is still the most prevalent approach used by the law towards domestic violence.

finally, it is becoming recognized

Erin Pizzey, who opened the UK's first women's refuge in 1971
Of the first 100 women who came into my refuge, Chiswick Women’s Aid, which was the world’s first when it opened in 1971, 62 were as violent – and some more violent – than the partners they left behind.
