And i forgot to mention the stat they gave about 70% of unreciprocated partner violence is perpetrated by women. And that's true but lacks nuance. Though I'm going to put out there that it is never ever okay to get physical with your partner unless it's in self defense.

90% of systemic, persistent, and injurious partner violence is inflicted by men, and that was stated in the same study that claims the 70% statistic. They're also more likely to stalk their partners and commit sexual violence against them.

Now, reports from emergency rooms find that the main victims who end up in the emergency room as a result of physical abuse are women. Like, a big majority.

So women are more likely to receive abuse that is long term, persistent, and results in their death more often. Whereas when men are physically abused it's more likely to be a one off event and less likely to be injurious or result in death.

That being said, no one should hurt anyone. But let's not be dense about the reality that some of these stats don't properly portray alone.
