it is a given that Male>Female abuse rates are always going to be many times higher than the reverse.

This statement is false. Beginning with Behind Closed Doors and all subsequent empirical research, the occurrence of domestic violence initiated by women has been known to be equal to that initiated by men. Furthermore, violence perpetrated by women tends to involve the use of weapons moreso than when done by men.

I don't blame you for being ignorant, the feminazis have had their way with you. But you owe it to yourself to get informed so you don't embarrass yourself with such statements in the future.

This may indeed be true. A woman slapping a man's face is "initiating" the occurence. But, in the same way a man is 75% more likely to succeed in suicide, a man is also much more likely to cause significant harm in a physical altercation. This is my opinion, but given human behavior, I would suspect it is true.

I don't take it personally that you called me ignorant, even though I would not use that word with someone I don't know.

I do, however know men and women. IF you believe that men and women are equally as agressive, you do not understand human nature.

Believe me, I have worked in a hospital for 25 years. I see these things. I do not buy into the Feminist arguments. I buy into reality, which is what MOST conserveratives do, or should do. Liberals see things as they wish to see them, that is a hallmark of liberalism. That is something I believe you are doing here.

I do not like the fact that men are this way, but I am not embarrased by it, it is human nature and I believe that man has control over his innate nature. We are not slaves of it and can master it. But I am not going to close my eyes to reality. You shouldn't either.
