'ScienceDaily (Nov. 12, 2007) — Physical dating violence (PDV) affects almost one in every 11 adolescents, according to research presented at the American Public Health Association’s 135th Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C.

The study, which looked at data from the 2005 National Youth Risk Behavior Study, also found that contrary to common general perception, males and females equally report being victims of PDV. The researchers found that in their study population of 6,951 male and 6,807 female students in grades 9 through 12, 9 percent of boys and 9.2 percent of girls responded yes to the question “during the past 12 months, did your boyfriend or girlfriend ever hit, slap, or physically hurt you on purpose.”'

Why shouldn't the girls beat up on the boys? If the guys hit back the girls can just concoct a false rape allegation and send them to prison. If they get caught lying-- free ride. See how it works? No wonder we're so popular all around the world these days.
