BBC: Study shows Women Approve of Female-on-Male Violence

Anonymous User writes "The BBC reports here that Professor Murray Strauss' latest research in Europe shows that a large percentage of women believe that it is acceptable for them to hit their male partners. He says 'The bottom line is that we need make the same "big deal" about violence by women as we do about men who behave violently.'

This study is due to be published in the European Journal of Criminology. It is unfortunate then that this journal's editor found the results 'surprising' and that 'the number of women who admit to assaulting men is interesting as it's well known that men are more violent than woman.'"
