Article here. All examples and stats cites are of battered women, no mention of men. Excerpt:

'I certainly felt alone during my abusive relationship, but unfortunately I was in good company. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that between 1 million and 3 million women in America are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend each year.

Every day, on average, three women are murdered by their husbands or boyfriends. At some point in our lives, 25 percent of American women will report being physically abused or raped by intimate partners, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

However, these statistics, grim as they are, fail to highlight the root of the abuse cycle. A national survey showed that 50 percent of men who frequently assault their wives also frequently abuse their children.'

Feel free to submit reader comments below the article. Polite comments including links to articles discussing the full story re DV are most productive.

Wow, N.O.W. and other organizations are really loving this incident to reinforce their need for government money. It's crappy that it happens, but I personally haven't seen it. Although, I have seen guy friends abused physically and psychologically.

A good example of another feminist hatchet job: Men are evil abusive brutes, and women are innocent victims. But it's not as though we need another one.

Worst part is, comments on this piece of crap are closed so MRAs are shut out of commentary.

Okay, equal time here: SHE must have done something really threatening for HIM to react against her like that! Sounds like self defense to me.
