Domestic Violence:
Often pushed as a feminist-based arguing point that is a known fiction is men are the primary aggressors and initiators of some form of domestic violence. This is a known myth. Abuse can and does happen to people regardless of race, gender, sexual origination, religion, or lack of religion, or any other often used superficial nonsense and extremist feminist rhetoric which is also used often to deny men their parental rights or to be considered as an afterthought for such rights because of such myths and biased reporting tendencies.
That said, let us proceed.
Domestic violence against men is often under-reported. Further, multiple studies demonstrate that in Intimate Partner Violence (“IPV”), women are more often the initiators of physical violence.
Expert testimony that provides such crucial information is necessary to overcome the bias against men in domestic violence cases and related restraining order matters, especially where men are claiming self-defense or filing for protective orders against abusive women.
Social workers, law enforcement and judges are often skeptical of such claims by men, and it’s time we bring science into the courtroom to end such systemic gender-based discrimination against men and as a result such reports are often not recorded or simply ignored.
Facts from Research:
The American Journal of Public Health: Analyzing data gathered from 11,370 respondents, researchers found that “half of [violent relationships] were reciprocally violent. In non-reciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more that 70% of the cases.”
Out of all the respondents, a quarter of the women admitted to perpetrating the domestic violence and, when the violence was reciprocal, women were often the ones to have been the first to strike men or dare them to strike them often engaging in taunts and threats and throwing objects at men.
In addition, an analytic view of 552 domestic violence studies published in the Psychological Bulletin found that 38% of the physical injuries suffered in domestic violence disputes were suffered by men.”
Methods used: Analyzed data on young US adults aged 18 to 28 years from the 2001 National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health contained information about partner violence and injury reported by 11,370 respondents on 18,761 heterosexual relationships.
Results: Almost 24% of all relationships had some violence, and half (49.7%) of those were reciprocally violent. In nonreciprocally violent relationships, women were the perpetrators in more than 70% of the cases.
Reasonable Conclusion: Domestic violence is often seen as a female victim/male perpetrator problem, but the evidence demonstrates that this is a false picture, and the reverse is actually true.
Why it Matters: Aside from the fact that abusing your partner at all is not only inhumane and unacceptable to be initiated against anyone, but the fiction also spills over into many other areas of culture and society which results in an imposed biased, including when it comes to parental rights and basic civil liberties, and this is dangerous for everyone, including and especially children.
The perpetuation of the male aggressor and female victim-imposed fiction imposes such biases across the board which are often presented in various outreach and public assistance-based agencies ads and campaigns which is in fact gender-based bias and discrimination.
Statistics are also warped because of these biases, including the fact that 75-90% of reports of alleged domestic violence are women and neglects that the majority of the time that 75-90% of reports by men of allegations of domestic violence is often ignored, not taken seriously or simply not reported.
National reports, when not cherry picked selectively, have also shown that predominately the most occurrences of violence in gender segregated shelters occurs more often in women only shelters, and more so if there is no immediate supervision of such women, often defined as in part having to do with what is known as 'Queen Bee' syndrome.
Studies report that women use much more physical intimate partner violence (IPV) as men. Part of the fiction, which was initially done away with, especially by the 1980s was the claim women are more likely than men to be injured from IPV and that many of the 'studies' where being conducted by extremist feminists perpetuating misandrist biases which has once again been reintroduced but comes down to the same fictions.
The bottom line is No one should be ignored, male or female, as victims of domestic violence, and that the specific gender of said aggressors to be counted as irrelevant, and to also be noted that more often than not, due mostly to imposed culture, men are left in a catch 22 game that 'if he defends himself from a female aggressor, he is a woman beater and abuser. If he does not defend himself, he is less of a man and a complete coward." This mentality has got to stop all around.
This damned if you do and damned if you don't mentality, and the perpetuation of men and boys "bad" by default, and women and girls "good" but only "do bad things" if pushed is not only idiotic nonsense, but it has also driven boys and men alike to mutilate themselves and even end their own lives.
When reporting these things as misogyny it is gas lighting the real and serious issues as well as perpetuating a clear misandry that cannot be allowed to continue to go unchallenged. You cannot claim to have a fair, equal (egalitarian) society or democratic system when you deny facts and impose feelings based in personal biases and blatant fraud.
Other than in the physical process of procreation and the physical realities of such distinctions between men and women, when it comes to parental rights, and all other basic civil rights and liberties and personal autonomy, men and women are equal even though anatomically different. That is the point. And out of that equality both must be equal to the same opportunities and the same punishments for the same crimes without excuses or "special considerations."
Oddly, data reporting on such factor has actually been stopped for some time, such as Data from Home Office statistical bulletins and the British Crime Survey that show that men made up about 40% of domestic violence victims each year between 2004–05 and 2008–09 in Britain, at least as far as was reported.
In 2006–07 men made up 43.4% of all those who had suffered partner abuse in the previous year, which rose to 45.5% in 2007–08 but fell to 37.7% in 2008–09.
This has of course increased again since 2019 yet the specific data has been skewed or improperly recorded officially, and all but completely silenced in regard to general public news or legacy media outlets.
In fact, there has been seen a 90% spike in promotion of women using violence against men by extremist feminists on all social media outlets with some push back by other women who have become more vocal about such things since 2024 primarily.
This kind of nonsense has also resulted in many women complaining as well of the constant, shallow, unoriginal and uninspiring lead female characters in mainstream media's various movies and television series perpetuating men as all bisexual and either abusive control freaks or weak and fragile men requiring a "dominate female" to fight the abuser and defend the coward and even such male characters being completely empty of any real sense of personality differences on top of that.
It's all more or less psychological abuse and warfare against predominately heterosexual men and has also come to irritate most homosexual and bisexual men being so poorly represented across all genres of mainstream media, and all feeding into the nonsense of abuser or coward and nothing else. It's done on purpose and shouldn't be tolerated by anyone who has any sense of self-respect or integrity. The consequences of this have again caused a huge surge in larger numbers of men subjected to severe force by women, especially ones as their domestic partners.
It's unfortunately nothing new:
Data from 82 US and UK studies on relationship violence, going back to 1972 with equal numbers of men and women being reviewed in historical documents found further proof that female aggression was greater than in non-European countries, with variations of various local cultures, customs and traditional social behaviors and practices.
Social Bias in European Countries:
Several videos recorded social experiments have shown when people see a woman being abused in public, even verbally, in most cases men, and some women, tend to be quick to react. People will even put their own safety at risk to try to protect a presumed vulnerable victim. Unfortunately, when the victim is a man, people not only do not react, aside from the rare occurrence where it is usually another woman confronting a perceived abusive woman, they often find it humorous and even openly insult and mock the man as a coward and weakling which has its own added psychological and emotional damage.
An example of this was demonstrated as a graphic social experiment which still at present is shown on YouTube to demonstrate the imposed cultural biases wherein one will see when it comes to men, men are regarded as second-class citizens when it comes to being defended, especially if the abuser is in fact a woman. Be warned as this can be upsetting for many victims of domestic violence. Your discretion is advised for this 10-year-old video:
This more recent video was from 2022 from ABC Action News
showing the issue is still a problem and becoming more so.

For the most part, feminists’ reactions to reports of female violence toward men have ranged from dismissal to outright hostility. It's also well-known there is a troubling history and current trend of attempts to suppress research on the subject, including intimidation of heretical scholars of both sexes and tendentious interpretation of the data to portray women’s violence as defensive.
In the early 1990s, when laws mandating arrest in domestic violence resulted in a spike of dual arrests and arrests of women, battered women’s advocates complained that the laws were “backfiring on victims,” claiming that women were being punished for lashing back at their abusers.
Several years ago in Maryland, the director and several staffers of a local domestic violence crisis center walked out of a meeting in protest of the showing of a news segment about male victims of family violence.
Women who have written about female violence, such as Patricia Pearson, author of the 1997 book When She Was Bad: Violent Women and the Myth of Innocence, have often been accused of colluding with an anti-female backlash.”
This is something all should be disgusted by if anyone is truly serious about standing up against domestic violence itself, regardless of who the victim is or the gender, race, religion, ethnicity, or age thereof. You have to stand against it regardless of who the abusers are which is itself the whole point of standing against all actions of domestic violence!
Violence by women causes less harm due to obvious differences in size and strength, but it is by no means harmless. Women may use weapons, from knives to household objects, including highly dangerous ones such as boiling water, to neutralize their disadvantage, and men may be held back by cultural prohibitions on using force toward a woman even in self-defense.
In this 2010 review, several research agencies and publications investigating these matters concluded that in various studies, men account for 12% to 40% of those injured in heterosexual couple violence. Men also make up about 30% of intimate homicide victims, not counting cases in which women were shown to have killed someone in self-defense.
When it comes to violence against children, women are at least as likely as men to abuse and/or kill their children, though it increases more so if one counts killings of newborns by intent or accident, especially as young mothers. In addition, women were shown to account for more than half of child abuse perpetrators which is also often overlooked or ignored especially if such were awarded by courts as custodian parents as a "default tendency" on the myth men cannot and are not as nurturing or protective of their children.
The researchers initially assumed that, at least in cases of mutual violence, the women were defending themselves or retaliating. But when subsequent surveys asked who struck first, it turned out that women were as likely as men to initiate violence, a finding confirmed by more than 200 studies of intimate violence ranging from anger to coercive control and was repeated in a 2010 essay in the journal Partner Abuse.
OYS (Oregon Youth Study) found and has demonstrated that, as a general rule, men tend to underreport both their violence against their female partners and their female partners’ violence against them. By contrast, women tend to over-report both the men’s violence against them and over-justify their own violence against their male partners if they report it at all, with it more often denied outright unless pressed and a tendency to change their stories. When it comes to same sex based domestic violence, women's violence against their female partners also tended to be much higher than that in cases involving men's violence against their male partners though historically same sex domestic violence has often been under reported and under-researched for both genders.
Couples in this study were also given tasks by the study’s monitors, such as planning a party or discussing a problem with their partner, and were filmed and observed by the OYS monitors, and found females were more likely to have outbursts and become aggressive and insulting to the males than the other way around, and prone to also throwing things around and engaging in abusive language and insults while the males being visibly agitated did their best to maintain their calm despite the various verbal attacks and sometimes physical outbursts.
It's an Equal and Global Problem:
Regardless of who is or isn't the "more likely to," the situation is the bias and one-sided nonsense has to be stopped, and the whole men bad/women good garbage needs to end just as much as in other cultures that push the men good/women bad bit. Men are not better than women, and women are not better than men. While there are many factors about men and women that do differ physically that should be respected and not fictionalized because someone doesn't like or has a problem with objective reality, facts cannot be suppressed, or these problems will continue and never be resolved to our own collective detriments.
Stop domestic violence against Men, Women and Children.
AND STOP PLAYING THE VICTIM WHEN YOU ARE NOT ONE.
OR YOU END UP LIKE THESE 'GEMS.'
