Corlorde,

Your first bolded listing is affected dramatically from female on female violence. Yes, women are far more likely to assault women than men are men in an intimate setting.

Your second bolded listing lists cohabting partner, which includes other women. It also lists the ones who WERE assaulted, not that 76% of all women are assaulted. Men are far more likley to report assault, that is why confidential, sociological and cross-cultural studies like the ones I listed are far more accurate.


Your third bolded listing and the others also do not take into account that men are far less likley to report abuse than women are.

That is why Bureau Statistics, which you gave, are less accurate than sociological and cultural studies. They are less accurate than personal studies and interviews which have a far less rate of error.

None of your studies were long-term studies, either.

You would be wise to pay attention more to long-tem studies, which I provided and you did not.

You would be wise to pay attention more to sociologically, culturally, and cross-culturally based studies which I provided and you did not.

You would be wise to pay attention to randomly-based confidential, personal interviews, which have a much lower rate of error than do your reliance on jujst Bureau Statistics. Men are far lees likley to report abuse. But they will talk about it in sociological interviews, cross-cultural and cultural interviews, and poersonal studies. That is why my studies which I listed are FAR SUPERIOR to yours.

Have a good one.
