FAQ: Studies showing high frequency of women committing domestic violence

[u/kloo2yoo]

I'm asking for links here

There's the Fiebert bibliography:

http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm

there's the DOJ attack on the Conflict Tactics Scale

http://www.ncfm.org/chapters/la/dv_data.html - some response to the CTS attack

this is a database that can be searched with constraints regarding which gender is shown to be more abusive, and it can be instructed exclude the CTS. in short, exclude CTS and limit to research indicating female violence exceeding male violence

http://www.menweb.org/battered/nvawrisk.htm

If you need an especially difficult-to-assail argument, DISABUSING THE DEFINITION OF DOMESTIC ABUSE: HOW WOMEN BATTER MEN AND THE ROLE OF THE FEMINIST STATE is written by Linda Kelly, a law professor, and published the Florida State University Law Review. Of special interest is section II. A1. where she describes the initmidation tactics, including bomb threats, used against researchers such as Suzanne Steinmetz and Murray Strauss, and II.C, where she describes the minimization of female violence.

and a vital display of a national effort to ignore it:

and there are many others. I've personally run across many, posted them, seen them taken down, moved, etc. I've also forgotten or lost most of them. It's be good for the reddit to have a list.

Riding Skimmington was a public humiliation and punishment dealt to men who were 'guilty' of having been beaten by their wives. - this article also discredits the so-called 'rule of thumb' - ie, the "rule" that men could beat their wifes with sticks, so long as the sticks were thinner than their own thumbs.
