will experience some form of relationship violence before they reach their 18th birthday. So, what percentage of men are abusive and/or rapists?

Half of women killed by their male abusers are killed after they leave.

And, let's not neglect your statistic about murdered pregnant women.

To all those who continue griping about "gender wars" -- perhaps the male naysayers (and the condescending ones) might stand up for survivors, and take the time to vilify abusers rather than feminists?

(A girl can dream...)

It's too late, for both men and women. DisgustipatedinCA May 2014 #1
