Domestic violence, by count of occurrences, has been shown to be around 50/50, with a slight lean towards women instigating slightly more often.
This is not taking into account how hard the partner hits or how much damage they cause, but women do aggress on men about the same as the other way around.
Your statementade me google the statistics and reports for my country (Germany) and i found a credible source that says that up to 40% of victims of relationship-violence are men and that the numbers might be even higher as men dont talk aboit this, its a “taboo” cause men need to be tough and all.
Just sharing my source, maybe you have one too? Would be interested to read more into this.
Yep, like the suicide gap that will often come up, MRAs will talk up how men commit suicide at 5 times the rate of women, but quietly not mention the part where it’s not for lack of trying, women will more often choose less violent means that are easier to be saved from, meaning that despite actually attempting far more than men, they are rescued or are able to back out of it much more often.
On that point, women and men engage in abuse patterns differently, which is why society has had trouble recognizing women abusers and their victims. Instead of battering them or choking them, they’ll call the cops on them or pursue them with a knife or threaten their loved ones or treasured possessions or even pets.
Victims of male abusers come out often fearing for their physical safety and mistrusting other men, victims of female abusers will come out fearing for their safety but mistrusting society at large because abusive women will often make the levers of society their weapon instead of the more blunt instruments abusive men tend to use.
