More men than women were victims of intimate partner physical violence within the past year, according to a national study funded by the Centers for Disease Control and U.S. Department of Justice. According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (hereinafter NISVS) released in December, 2011, within the last 12 months an estimated 5,365,000 men and 4,741,000 women were victims of intimate partner physical violence. (Black, M.C. et al., 2011, Tables 4.1 and 4.2) 1 This finding contrasts to the earlier National Violence Against Women Survey (Tjaden, P. G., & Thoennes, N., 2000)(hereinafter NVAWS), which estimated that 1.2 million women and 835,000 men were victims of intimate partner physical violence in the preceding 12 months. (One-year prevalence “are considered to be more accurate [than lifetime rates] because they do not depend on recall of events long past” (Straus, 2005, p. 60))

Thank you. Too tired to do my own research. 8~)
That is interesting. It does not answer my question, “By whom are men murdered?” however. Also, neither your information nor that in the article seems to say whether the “partners” in question, who murdered or otherwise victimized , were opposite-sex or same-sex.
How can we even discuss this, when we’re supposed to believe people don’t even have a sex, only a “gender” that changes at whim?
