Opinion: Women can inflict domestic violence, too

Article here. Excerpt:

'In 2000 the Department of Justice published a compendium of domestic violence review with the incredibly biased title: "U.S. Domestic Violence Against Women Study." This was a review study compiling many different looks at this issue, mostly published by academics using crime statistics.

It consistently showed that a lot of domestic violence is actually unprovoked attacks by women on their male partner. The numbers are consistently between 25 percent and 40 percent.

In this study, men were twice as likely to be the victim of a knife attack (cue Bobbit) and almost twice as likely to be injured by "an object thrown with intent to harm."

Many jurisdictions report at least 25 percent of issued restraining orders are served on women. My knee-jerk reaction when first reading this was that these women must have just been protecting themselves against the evil males. But that's not what the data show.'
