Source: Bates E et al. Women more likely to be aggressive than men in relationships. British Psychological Society's Division of Forensic Psychology annual conference in Glasgow.

Mark Brooks, chair of the ManKind Initiative in the U.K., which offers support for male victims of domestic violence, believes Bates’ study is “game changing.” “At the charity we're not surprised at the findings, because of the type of calls we get to our helpline every day,” Brooks told The Telegraph. “What concerns us still is the lack of awareness and services available to support those men suffering in this way.”

It's good that this type of info is finally getting out.

Whenever this is brought up, the typical feminist response is 'Men do more harm with domestic violence', which is technically true, since more women are killed by their spouse than men, etc. However, this is moving the goal post. When male-on-female domestic violence is discussed, great bodily harm is not required for it to count. Controlling behavior is very commonly added into the mix. If you keep the definitions the same, either male-on-female domestic violence is a lot more rare, or female-on-male is a lot more common.

Of course women are controlling.

It's in their nature.

They aren't telling us anything that hasn't been known for ... since the beginning of time.
