Women beating men; is it common?

[TECSHARE]

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.

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.

Maybe know what you are talking about before you make assertions.

"There are major difficulties in obtaining reliable statistics in this area but mental health studies consistently show that in heterosexual couples only about 25% of the time is domestic violence solely male-on-female. The same studies show that 25-30% of the time the violence is exclusively female-on-male, with the remainder mutual combat. However, one agreeable result emerges from these studies: The safest place for a woman is in her home with the biological father of her children."

Women beating men is definitely more promoted as normal socially and through the media. So I'd have to say yes.

This isn't just a matter of who is physically stronger, it is about society as a whole casting men as the default perpetrators. Yeah sure maybe you can defend yourself physically against your wife, but what about the 20 cops that come when she calls the police on you for "beating her" when you defend yourself? Women have an excessive amount of power as far as that is concerned. In many states they don't even need any evidence, just the mere accusation of violence is enough to have you carted off in cuffs and lose your right to own a firearm forever.

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 think it could be real. I've seen several times with my own eyes a wife beating her husband. To what extent is another question. I think that domestic violence is coming from men mostly though.

Way to read. People like you are the reason men are allowed to be abused freely. Lots of talking, no reading or thinking.

That is stereotype that is causing the women to have more power as TECHSARE say above. Have you personally seen any domestic violence by man, if its not in media?

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

you meant to say sexist?

Abusers have a weird expertise in isolating and penetrating your mind. If someone walked up to you in the street and smacked you in the face then you're going to call the police. If the person you share a home and child with does the same then it's a whole different deal.

abuse is abuse, best to man up and walk away. Before one gets killed or maimed. Its not worth it..

Obviously but an aspect of the abuse is trapping the victim and manipulating them so it carries on. I've never been with anyone who was physically abusive but I was with someone who tried to fuck with my mind. It was very subtle to begin with and it would've escalated from there.

Most men don't like to talk when they got hit by an woman. They are scared what other people will think about it and judge them how they can get beaten up by an wife.

that's so true... Especially with their friends, they rather lie what happen than telling the truth. It will only happen if the women is much stronger than men.

The media is super biased toward women being victims of violence against men in Argentina.  For months I kept seeing this statistic that every 30 hours a woman is killed in Argentina.  That sounds like a lot.  Now as someone who has studied statistics I see two problems with this statistic.

• the number should normalized to be per million population
• the number should be compared to the number of men murdered

If you don't divide by the number of people, you would see more deaths in a country as a whole than any identifiable region within this country.  And yet, when comparing the country with a province or city.  This statistic for the country would always be higher or the same.

It may be that humans tend to kill each other and when you put 60 million together that statistic is really is lower than most countries.

So, I looked up the statistics.  These statistics are adjusted for population.  I looked at the 2014 numbers for homicide rates.  A man in Spain is as likely to be murdered as a woman in Argentina.   A woman is seven times less likely to be murdered in Spain than a man in Spain.   I also found that a man in Argentina is seven times more likely to be killed than a woman is.  I find the consistent ratio curious.  All this attention about a woman being killed every thirty hours when for the general population the problem is much worse.  It is not really a lie but kind of misleading statistics.

IIRC men make up roughly half of all domestic abuse victims.  This only includes the cases we're aware of; I get the feeling men report their abuses less than women.  Going off this alone, women are at least equally as violent as men.  Men find it hard to fight back knowing they'll go to jail if they do, since it's bad to hit someone but "taboo" to hit a woman as a man; the police are notorious for arresting the male in a domestic abuse situation even if the male did no wrong, so it's better that the police are never called in that event.  All this double standard does is encourage violence from females towards males, which in turn encourages males to avoid relationships with females, thus we can connect this double standard to the rise of MGTOW and falling birth rates in the west.  But let's be honest, has there ever been a double standard which yielded positive results?

Anyway to answer the question, yes, it's as common as the man beating the woman.

It happens quite a bit, I know two friends who went through hell with their now ex's and I'm sure I only heard part of what really went on, that's just two out of many stories I've heard over the years. One of those two called asking for a ride one morning which was odd because he and his gf both had cars, he said it was an emergency and would I please come get him. I got there and he was bloodied and clawed all over, he was only wearing jeans and proceeded to tell me he woke-up to his gf punching and scratching him and he escaped through the bedroom window as she not only was still attacking him but threatening to call the police and try to get him arrested for the traffic tickets he had and assaulting her which never happened as he was clearly the victim- that is pretty insane thinking, she thought just because she was the female that even though she clawed the hell out of him and beat him that he'd immediately go to jail since she is a woman. Just two weeks ago an ex of mine who I'm still friends with called me and told me how during an argument, she punched her husband in the face repeatedly - as he was driving - and was now worried he was calling the cops and she'd be arrested. Turns out her husband didn't call the cops and this is probably the reality in most of these instances as what guy who is 250 and 6'2 is going to want to tell the police a 5'2 woman assaulted him?
