Gender Symmetry In Partner Violence

Please check out this paper by Murray A. Strauss, which examines both the undeniably reciprocal nature of intimate partner violence & the reasons that information is continually suppressed:

There is also an excellent, up-to-date bibliography of 268 studies showing that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships here:

Both are good resources to bookmark for research & debate.

    I haven't finished reading the study yet, but this part:

    "there is no controversy
    concerning the fact that almost all heterosexual rapes are perpetrated
    by men."

    Strauss might have to do another study when he digs a little more deeply into the data...lol
