121. As Likely Or Even More So.
But like I said, generally the incidents are far more severe with men abusing women; of course. But as far as just actual episodes of domestic violence, regardless of severity, women are just as likely; if not even more so, then men to engage in such. Though I think there should be more attention to that in society and it should be taken more seriously, I'm also not going to pretend that it would make both ends equally at risk, since the risk of injury to the woman is far greater regardless of frequency of episodes being equal.

As far as links go, I'm not going to play that game with you. I know you and your manner and it's pretty much an obvious conclusion that no matter what link I could provide, I'd get responses like "that's from men's propaganda site!" or "that study is bullshit!" or god knows what else. I've been through this before and have no desire to do your homework for you right now. I simply would rather spend my time doing other things. But since you believe so strongly that the assertion is not true (when it is), I'd encourage you to do some web browsing and read up on the different things available on the subject. If you do so objectively and with an open mind, I think you'll begin to realize that the assertion does in fact have merit. In the context of learning, I think it may be more valuable for you to find some of this information yourself, and deduce the reality on your own, then if I simply provided links for you since you may be far more quick to dismiss things that I provide, then if you came across them on your own.

But it is true. I'd encourage you to read up more about it.
