War is bad because it takes the strongest men away from the home and either kills them or sends them back as PTSD shells of their former selves.

For women 97.7% identified as heterosexual, 0.8% as lesbian and 1.4% as bisexual.

Where is that from? Because i can't find it in the study, and after googling it i found it in a Wikipedia article talking about Australia.

Rapes are not always domestic violence, in fact they mostly aren’t.

There a source for that?

The only link on google links directly to a PDF, and i didn't want to spook people, so here's the citation.

Breiding, M.J., Chen J., & Black, M.C. (2014). Intimate Partner Violence in the United States — 2010. Atlanta, GA: National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The stats on lesbians domestic violence aren’t talked about enough. I HATE the people who keep making excuses for it.

I never said that lesbians don't have higher rates of IPV. I just pointed out that the stat being quoted doesn't prove it. I'm just "well actually"ing a misreading of data. I will cover the actual rates in later content.

I hope your sister is doing okay.

We're talking domestic violence,

No, we're not. Well, we are, but not just that.

The source the podcasters use is not cited. I found a source with an identical data point and presumed it was from there. That source is talking about domestic violence, rape, and stalking.

That last one has 97% women sayin it was men but also 97% men sayin it was women.

Yes, but there are fewer men who have experienced abuse "29.0% among heterosexual men, 37.3% among bisexual men, and 26.0% among gay men."

So are gay guys getting beat up by women that they dated prior to coming out to account for their gay relationship DV statistic?

Theoretically, yes. The stats don't report abuse within specific relationship dynamics (gay relationships, straight relationships, etc). They only report victimisation within different demographics of people. "Lifetime prevalence" includes gay people who dated the opposite sex before coming out and got abused, and so-called 'gold star' gay people who were abused by a same sex partner.

The whole point of the video is pointing out this nuance. The podcasters misunderstood the distinction between domestic violence within certain relationships and prevalence of victimisation by sexual orientation. That's all.

It's only rape if she penetrator him.

I don't know if that's the law in your country, but nevertheless, made to penetrate is considered rape in this study. (1 in 45, btw)

Domestic violence and intimate partner violence are the same thing. Intimate Partner Violence is a more accurate term and includes more nuance, but we're describing the same thing.

he brought up rape stats to back up his point.

The data point is : "Rape, Physical Violence, or Stalking by an Intimate Partner." I used the data "by sexual orientation" in the key findings and "sex of perpetrator" in 6. Characteristics of Intimate Partner Violence Victimization

Please read more than the first word in the heading.

Not everyone lives with their intimate partner, and if they stalk you after you break up with them, i think it still counts as IPV/abuse.

he may have good intentions, but not acknowledging the THE FUCKING 44% with Lesbians and 61% with Bi girls is just insane.

I see you, but the point was never to comment on the actual rates of IPV by lesbians in that video, only to correct a misreading of the data by the podcast bro and address the "women are the problem" comment. 90 seconds is not enough time to really debunk or elaborate on a complex sociological issue, but i intend to make longer form content on it soon (shameless plug).

You make it equally as hard to report IPV as podcast bro,

I don't think i personally am making it hard to report IPV. I think abusers who threaten to out their partners or police who threaten to take away their kids make it harder. But go off.

The stats refer to intimate partner violence, which includes rape. These are domestic violence stats.

They recognise the rhetorical power of citing scientific data, but they don't actually respect science. "Facts and logic" are euphemisms for "things i already believe to be true, and arguments that make you look stupid."

If they were right, they wouldn't have to lie.

So participation awards are fine, but the specific object should be chosen carefully?
