"one-third of newlywed women and one-quarter of newlywed men engage in physical aggression."
So newlywed women are one-twelfth, or nearly 10%, more likely than men to violently attack their partners.
Yes, there are problems with the reporting, but I'm happy to see feminist myths called exactly that, "Still, the newest findings challenge the feminist belief that 'it is men only who cause violence,' says psychologist Deborah Capaldi of the Oregon Social Learning Center. 'That is a myth.'"
And take a look at this article, which reports (unfortunately with the typical spin) on female perpetration of DV among New Zealand Pacific Islanders.

To clarify: Nearly 10% more of the total number of women than of the total number of men are likely to batter their partners. 33% to 25%. But 1/3 more newlywed women than newlywed men batter their partners. (They're one and a third, or four-thirds, as likely to batter. 4/3 x 1/4 = 1/3.) In other words, 33% is roughly 1/3 greater than 25%. In fact, 1/3 is exactly 1/3 greater than 1/4.
Sheesh. I could probably write that clearer, but I've gotta go. Time to work out.

By not understanding the mutual role they often play, women are at great risk for injury, new studies show.
What about the utter lack of support for male victims of domestic violence? Ooops, I forget, nobody cares about men. It's all about women.
Note also the box on the right: the old DV story, by the anti-male so-called "Family Violence Prevention Fund" (this Fund "celebrated" Fathers' Day by honoring men who resolved not to beat women and children. No kidding.)
The three women did different studies but presented them as a team recently to a conference sponsored by the Society for Prevention Research. The National Institutes of Health sponsored much of the work....It is clear that women suffer physically more at the hands of men than the reverse, says Faye Wattleton of the Center for the Advancement of Women. But still she says it is good to bring new research to public attention. "I applaud the women who had the courage to present these findings. We don't make progress by suppressing the evidence."
Notice the emphasis on the fact that women did these studies. Why? Well, if women present bogus studies about men abusing women, these studies are believed. But if serious male researchers present studies showing that women beat men, they are slandered. The bottom line: only women have authority to speak about domestic violence. Bull Shit!
