  Really? Wow. I didn't realize that. Are there good sources for this kind of information you can refer me to?

    "Nearly half of all women and men in the United States have experienced psychological aggression by an intimate partner in their lifetime (48.4% and 48.8%, respectively)." More numbers here: https://www.thehotline.org/resources/statistics/ https://www.thehotline.org/resources/statistics/

    Abusers are about equally men and women. A surprisingly large percentage of those partners are mutually abusive (I forgot if it's more like 25% or more like 50% but both are high IMO). Men hurt women more because men are, duh, stronger.

      In an abusive relationship, there is always a dominant abuser.
