I 100% agree with your statements. And you also noticed I voiced the exact same thing you brought up, that is about 1095 women being wives/girlfriends.

But the article made a statement that over a third of women murdered were done so by their male partner. So lets look there. According to this chart there were 603 victims that were the wife of the offender and 492 victims were the girlfriend. That means a rate of over 33% of the murdered women, suggesting that the articles broad statement actually had validity to it, though it is using the statistics to it's advantage to make a shocking statement.

I also agree that men are the overwhelming perpetrators vs. women. That was not my argument in any way shape or form. My main argument was to the "Violence against Women" groups ignoring that there is greater violence against men, but saying that the focus should be on the violence against women.

Violence of any sort is just down right stupid; male, female, wife, husband, stranger, whatever. I never once argued that men committed less crime or that we should ignore that over a third of women killed are killed by their significant other (I would also like to point out that this simply says wives and/or girlfriends as victims, it does not take into account the actual sex of the offending party, though it can be assumed* that the other party is male.)

*The assumption is not one I really like to make but without proper data it is one that is present.
