Women beating men; is it common?

I've read many articles claiming that domestic violence coming from women might be more common than we think but we just don't really get to know about it because it's rarely reported. What do you think about this? Could it be real? And if yes, to what extent?

I'm pretty sure it is real... But i think most men would be ashamed to go to the police to report the abuse, also, i have read many times that the police actually classifies a lot of these reports because they don't believe a woman will ever abuse her man (instead of the other way around).
I think it's more common that you think

Women beating men; is it common?

Not in competition, which is why women have segregated sports leagues.

But in domestic violence, women and men assault each other at roughly equal rates.

But some studies have found that women are more likely than men to inflict injury and use objects or weapons against their partners. Some studies have also found that lesbian couples have much higher rates of domestic violence than other groups.

This is racist, when men beating women it is violence, but when women beating men it's just nothing.

In a lot of places if you call the police for a woman assaulting you as a man, you go to jail. You could be drenched in blood and swollen with a knife sticking out of you some times and it makes no difference.

In certain countries women has the more responsibility in family in terms of making economy as well taking care of the family. There women are the wealth makers which makes them feel as a boss and treat men as their employees. This creates quarrels but I don't believe beating is done. Its not common over every place.

I'm sure such things happening on daily basis.
Why?
Position of women in society changed a lot in last century.
They become even soldiers, policewomen etc.
It's natural that in many cases women are not weaker but stronger than their husbands.
So, if conflict in the family happen, women can protect herself and her children.
Of course, in many cases, man is still stronger than women but women can ask help from police, social institutions, friends etc.
Women is not helpless victim like before.
Of course, because of pride, no man will confess that women beat him up

There is actually some news on my place showing that women for real are actually beating men. There some kind of issue going on with their relationship which makes their relationship really gets trouble. This is actually real and it is happening around us..

It is way beyond pride. In the majority of circumstances any man reporting physical violence from a women will himself be arrested and charged just by default.

I'm sure it happens, but it's probably not very common. At least we don't hear much about women beating men in the news.

Depends in what country... because there are nations where female are excluded from the normal life ... and so they are victim of violence!
I think is hard a female "beat" a men ... because a man could use more power....

Of course it is not in the news. That would not fit the feminist narrative of men always being the aggressor and women always being the victim. Statistics show that domestic violence is largely a MUTUAL act, IE women act with violence against men just as often as men engage in violence against women.

Violence and abuse is violence and abuse whether it's male against female or female against male. Is this a case of domestic violence? That's hard to say without context.

Yes. Way more than is reported I reckon. A couple of friends of mine have been with womanfriends who were violent as fuck and had the damage to prove it. I've been with a couple of ticking time bombs myself but walked before anything happened.

I assume abused children are spread equally between the genders and the abused often become abusers themselves. Throw in hormones, entitlement, the fact that abused men still aren't taken seriously and the law being stacked against them and it becomes a dead cert.

I've seen one example of it from people I met at work, but I seriously doubt the phenomenon is widespread. Beatings could probably be proven to be strongly correlated with testosterone level. The women beating men incidences are anomalous.

I don't think it's anything to do with testosterone. It's about power, control, insecurity and cycles of behaviour. Females are just as prone to that as males.

The woman who invented "battered women's shelters" says that women are just as violent as men, and would often beat their own children in the shelter.

When she said that men should have shelters too, feminists protested her and sent her death threats.

Well I don't have any proof, sir, it was just a bold naked assertion about the testosterone. Having said that, females might be prone to those things you listed but they certainly don't resort to beatings with nearly the same frequency as men. Again, I am making an assertion with no good evidence but I feel more comfortable with this one.

Of course it's common. In society when a women hits a man, it's not painful and it's completely laughable according to some men. I feel as though people should be equally treated and it should be realized that assault is assault, and punishment should be applied for said crimes. I don't want to walk out my house to get attacked by anyone. Whether it's a man or a woman it wouldn't matter to me at all. Assault is assault.

I think its very unfair to men to be hit or battered by their partners. We all have rights. In d eyes of d society if we hit girls we are bad and almost beaten by people. But when the girls hit us men the people will laugh at us. I should say hiting men is not right we should have equal rights same as girls either bisexual beings.
