"Studies where they call people up, ask for the 'woman of the house', and ask who hits who more, consistently -- and across cultures -- say that women themselves admit they hit more often."
BS, I cited an article that says the exact opposite. True, men don't report as much as women, that's a fact. The majority of domestic violence abuse is committed by men, against women.
period.
Proof by louder assertion is inadmissable here. Your stats are still the "reported to the cops" ones, and everyone knows those are skewed by the fact that men either won't or are scared to (because they will be arrested), call the cops on their wives.
