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.

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."

Well, you can call me sexist but I think that in the first place women should be protected against domestic violence rather than men. As you said by yourself there are major difficulties in obtaining reliable statistics in this area, so I wouldn't trust any statistics totally.

We're not calling you sexist. You're calling yourself sexist. You want to give higher rights to one sex than to the other. That's the exact definition of sexism...
Why should women be more protected than men? They're more concerned by domestic violence? Maybe, I don't know the area perfectly, but even if that's the case, why should they have more rights? Wouldn't it be fairer to take as much into account the words of the man than the woman?
