"1.) Women are four times more likely to be victims of domestic violence in a lesbian household than in a married household.(Claire Renzetti, Violent Betrayal)"

I would think women would also be more likely to be perpetrators of domestic violence in a lesbian household than in a married household, considering there are twice as many women in a lesbian household as in a married household. I wonder how they categorized the married lesbian households in Massachusetts. LOL

Yes, obviously, women are more likely to be the perpetrators of domestic violence in a lesbian household.

But it does not at all follow that women in lesbian households are more likely to be VICTIMS of domestic violence than women in a married household.

What you said is obvious, what the study found is not.
