And that leads me to posting another article, the US Dept of Justice Report on Family Violence which states that males comprised 24% of victims of abuse at the hands of a boyfriend or girlfriend and 25% of victims killed by a boyfriend or girlfriend.
"Approximately 60% of family violence victimizations were reported to police between 1998 and 2002. The reporting rate among female victims was not significantly greater than the reporting rate among male victims."
Those numbers may start to rise.
I am shocked at how I see some girls acting!
The fights I have witnessed at my kids high school
a few years ago...
I saw more knock down drag out fights between girls than boys.
Maybe the guys just fight elsewhere.
I am not sure if it leads to domestic violence but my
son had a friend who's girlfriend beat the crap out of him
all the time. - Then would not speak to HIM until
HE bought her a new Coach purse.
(She had about a dozen)
One night I saw them out of the car on our street
she was throwing punches and he was just standing there!
I literally got out of the car, took him by the hand and said
hey hussy your boyfriend just broke up with you forever.
Leave him alone, you don't deserve him.
Thank goodness she was not a stalker!
* yes I had many talks with this boy!
He is married now to a sweet girl and has a 2 yr old.
His x-girlfriend decided she isn't straight anymore
and beats her girlfriend regularly...
I think it is foolish to think the way ALV does,
times are changing! There are some wicked women out there
and some very non violent unlucky men that are their victims!
