Seems very scientific.

Just two paragraphs down from the part you've highlighted is this gem:

More than 80% of male batterers are not physically aggressive towards any other adults in their lives. They solely assault their intimate partner.

They say it's "highly unlikely" that women could ever be batterers because they are "generally peaceful and non-violent", and then almost in the same breath say that it's possible for a man to be generally peaceful and non-violent until he's alone with his partner.

The mental gymnastics at work here are impressive.

Men are the majority of violence in general, particularly stranger violence.

By their own logic it seems very unlikely women are the majority of victims of domestic violence.

Yet most violence inside the home, including elderly and child abuse, is committed by women. So it does make sense that they'd commit half of partner violence.

"I don't think women are violent so therefore this statistic is a lie."

That's like if I saying the statistics on scientific consensus on climate change are false because I didn't believe in climate change.

Hey if they want to use that logic, use their logic!!!!!!

If 80% of violence outside the home is done by men, then 20% of violence outside the home is done by women. We can assume for the sake of argument that these numbers are reflected in violence inside the home. This means that by her own numbers 20% of abusers are women and 20% of victims are male.

While half of what we claim to be the rates it is hundreds of times more than what most feminists claim the numbers to be. If she wants to persist in the claim that 20% of abusive are female and 20% of victims are male, I'll support her.

"They say it's "highly unlikely" that women could ever be batterers because they are "generally peaceful and non-violent"

That is denialism and willful ignorance.

This is reality: http://www.genderratic.net/?p=3367

"Myths about domestic violence"

80% of violence outside the home is committed by males

Wait, the article is about domestic violence, that is violence committed inside the home. Why are they listing statistics for violence committed outside the home.

Yup that's something only a manhating feminist would say. It is also not very scientific.
