"there is a large body of cross-cultural evidence that women are subjected to domestic violence significantly more often than men."

- discodave 9y agoFor anybody wondering if there is a difference between domestic abuse and domestic violence, according to the legal system, in the US, there is no clear delineation.

- marvin 9y agoYou can't summarize a 4-paragraph nuanced discussion with "Because it is." by cherry-picking one sentence from one study. Even the Wikipedia link, which is likely to be biased in the direction of older research simply due to the volume, points out that there is significant debate around this. Recent studies conclude with a much more equal gender distribution among victims, as OP points out.
