Thoughts on True Self Healing's "statistics on domestic violence"?

Almost all of the stats cited come from pre-2000 sources and/or add questionable caveats to things like "serious" for domestic violence. Many of the stats (seemingly deliberately) fall into all the pitfalls for underreporting abuse against men and by women.

Some of the stats are true. For example, men do commit murder more, which is a sociological problem. Men have greater economic pressures (risk of homelessness) put on them while also having less opportunities for success (lower educational attainment) and lower access to effective mental health care. Of course they would be prone to a higher degree of criminality.

That website just seems to attempt to paint a picture of men as mindless animals, and shotgunned a cherrypicked list of uncontextualized/bad stats to achieve that aim. It's not a list of stats on domestic violence. It's reactionary propaganda in the same vein as the 13/50 bullshit.

and the majority of women who commit murder usually do so as a defense against men who have been battering them for years. Ninety percent of the women in jail for murder are incarcerated for killing male batterers.

My ex wife also tried to lie that I was abusing her after she made an attempt in my life. It's crazy that we just believe whatever lies a murderer comes up with just because they're women. The fact is, a dead person can't tell their side of the story, so of course they're going to lie when they're sitting there having to answer for their crimes.

Here isthe only source available for this "statistic". A fucking newspaper article written by a regular journalist. With no real citation for it. What a fucking joke.

Close to all – 99.8% – of the people in prison convicted of rape are men.

Due to the way rape is legally defined, it will always produce this result. Another point is that it states convicted rapists, men are much less likely to report to the authorities and women often get away with suspended sentences.
