women are guilt ridden...we have strong ids....if our husbands cheat or drink or hit us, its OUR fault somehow, someway....if our children fail in school, its OUR fault....everything is OUR fault....
and men are the opposite...ala ojsimpson, who claimed to be battered by his petite wife, men interpret most things as NOT being their fault, the woman asked for it, or they couldn't help it or they were provoked, blah blah blah....you know this is true.
and btw I know there's bruisers out there among the women but the vast majority of women couldn't do harm to a man physically unless they had a weopon to use...so a woman's hit is not the same, not nearly as a man's....
No one is saying that women can do as much damage, only that they do initiate more violence in relationships. It’s something that’s clearly true and that has been verified by a multitude of studies. It’s not hard to figure out why it’s the case, either.
Violent women often use weapons. Thrown objects, knives, guns. Or just seething, waiting until he's asleep, and cutting off his penis with scissors.
There have been a number of studies of female-against-male violence. There's also a wiki article with links to studies.
