And women never do any of that...ha

97% of domestic violence victims in heterosexual relationships are female. Domestic violence occurs as frequently and as severely in same sex relationships. (American Bar Association, "American Bar Association Commission on Domestic Violence", American Bar Association, http://www.abanet.org/domviol/statistics.html).

Annually, compared to males, females experienced over 10 times as many incidents of violence by an intimate. On average each year, women experienced 572,032 violent victimizations at the hands of an intimate, compared to 48,983 incidents committed against men. (Ronet Bachman Ph.D., U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, "Violence Against Women: A National Crime Victimization Survey Report", January 1994, p.6).
