CDC Study Finds Little Difference in Frequency of Violence and Reported Injury Between Men and Women Due To Reciprocal and Nonreciprocal Intimate Partner Violence

I should note the following: Mark Rosenthal on Facbook says: "I spoke to Whitaker (the study's lead author) shortly after this study first came out. He told me that all the researchers worked for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and that a paper like this would ordinarily be published in the CDC's own publication "Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report". But in this case, the higher-ups at the CDC were terrified of the political backlash from publishing a report that challenged the myth that most cases of domestic violence involve a violent man beating up his helpless wife and kids. So they weren't allowed to publish in MMWR, and had to publish in an outside journal. That's why it was published in the American Journal of Public Health. He told me I could not cite the study as "a CDC study". I should only cite it as "a study by CDC researchers".

Sadly, even today, the same political forces still seem to have a stranglehold on domestic violence research, and anyone who comes to undesired conclusions gets slapped down."

That's the atmosphere of fear and silence the feminist movement has created around challenging its narratives, that scientists are afraid to publish facts. That is a culture of totalitarianism. Feminism is not compatible with reality or facts, and instead has to terrorize the population into not questioning its narrative. That's why it so consistently fails to produce equality, it is unhinged and divorced of consideration for reality.

I bet if you included emotional abuse women would completely dominate the list of perpetrators.

The date on this is 2007, so it's 11 years old, but I don't think anything has changed.

Results. 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.

I can see why this would not be politically correct.

Who would have thought? /s

The score on this post should be 500. Sometimes, I just do not get this board.
