There is a statistic finding in domestic violence that becomes really strange and weird if men and women are not guilty of committing domestic violence at about the same rate.
Using Swedish data (through other countries report the same finding). Households of two men, two women, or a man and a woman all has the same rate of domestic abuse being reported to the police. This result in the strange statistical finding that a bisexual woman going from a heterosexual relationship to a homosexual relationship increases her aggression by over 200%. Similar, a bisexual man doing the same thing reduces his aggression by almost 50%. This is not checklists or polls, but rather plain crime statistics collected by police and courts.
A theory to explain this is that displacement violence in pair relationships is a equal risk for all human relationships regardless of the genders involved, but the method deployed by the aggressor is likely different depending if the aggressor has more physical strength than the victim.
Naturally we must also consider that while averages exist, people are still individuals and there are huge variation in any population.
