female on male what?

If you mean rape or what the CDC calls "made to penetrate" then the NISVS itself claims that it is the only national level survey in the USA to ask about men raped by women. It is therefore technically true to say that absolutely all studies done about this have reached the conclusions of the NISVS namely that there's similar amounts of female on male rape as vice versa.

Now they do specify "national level". NISVS is a huge survey of over 10,000 people. It's the gold standard for this sort of survey but there have been other smaller and less reliable studies. I would also mention that the previous best study on this sort of topic, the NVAWS (National Violence Against Women Survey) which was also a colossal national level survey studying rape and intimate partner violence, did record very high amounts of male rape victims even though it's definitions excluded female on male rape strictly. Probably a lot of male victims mentioned their being raped by a woman anyway. The rate recorded by NVAWS was that men were raped at about one third the rate of women -- contrasting the NISVS rate of men raped equally often with women. Future surveys may find men are raped significantly more often than women in the USA.

So the NISVS results were not completely out of the blue to people following this stuff back in 2010 even though it was a big surprise. Of course the NISVS itself has gone through more rounds of questioning people and getting results since 2010 since it's intended to be on-going. I'm not sure if more than one additional round of results has been released but the second round has been and it agreed pretty closely with the results from 2010. So the NISVS has been reproduced as it were by itself but that still just counts as one (huge) survey.

The real problem the SPLC bigots have is that if the NISVS is the only survey they count on this topic then they are in the position of insisting that literally everything science knows about this issue is wrong because their bigoted intuition disagrees.

Partner Abuse State of Knowledge (PASK) project: Facts and Statistics at a Glance. Claimed to be "The world's largest domestic violence research data base, 2,657 pages, with summaries of 1700 peer-reviewed studies" it's the best compendium on IPV I've found so far.

Whitaker et al (2007): Differences in Frequency of Violence and Reported Injury Between Relationships With Reciprocal and Nonreciprocal Intimate Partner Violence; Am. J. Pub. Health.

Kelly (2003): Disabusing the Definition of Domestic Violence:How Women Batter Men and the Role of the Feminist State; Florida State Uni Law Review

Steinmetz, S (1978): The Battered Husband Syndrome; Victimology 2(3-4)

See also Murray Straus' books (esp. Physical Violence in American Families, 1976).

/r/mensrightslinks/ has shedloads of papers, studies and useful links on DV/ IPV - I wish more people would make use of it.
