You could look them up, or I could give you a link to SAUS with a little work. Here's murder victims in 1999 by sex. 13,011 total murder victims. 9,811 of them men and 3,185 of them women. That is true as far back as the statistics go. 1980 homicide rate for men is 10.9/100,000 and for women 3.2.

For crimes of violence (table 303) the rate is 37.0/1000 for men and 28.8/1000 for women. The rate for rape is 3.0 for women and .4 for men. That's 300 per 100,000, and table 298 shows 89,107 rapes in 1998 for a rate of 76.5/100,000 women over age 12. Violence from intimate partners is shockingly high for women at 766.8/100,000 compared to 146.2/100,000 for men. That includes ex-boyfriends too.
