[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men are more likely to be victims of violent crimes perpetrated by other men. Women are likely to be one victims of violence perpetrated by men. I think this point is being overlooked. It's not a simple matter of numbers. If you want to know why women worry about violence at the hands of men, it's because most of us have either experienced it firsthand and seen it happen to our friends and family. [/quote]

Except that given the fact that more men experience more violence than women - men are even more likely to have experienced it firsthand or seen it happen to friends or family. Women are also perpetrators of violence and not in small numbers, towards both men and women. Domestic violence (or intimate partner violence) perpetrated by women is not uncommon. Woman are more likely than men to abuse their children (physical abuse, emotional abuse and neglect). Many women experienced violence in their homes perpetrated by women when they were children. Look at all the posts on here about abusive MILs and being estranged from mothers due to childhood abuse. They are posted everyday. [/quote]

Are you asserting that women are the primary perpetrators? Statistics don't support that. [/quote]

No, they don't.  This PP is very invested in the notion that women aren't any more victimized than men.  Mansplaining.[/quote]

I don't even know what mansplaining is.

Primary perpetrators of what kind of violence?  In general. No, I am not asserting that. Men perpetrate violence and are victims of violence in much greater numbers than women. Women are more likely to be charged with (non-sexual) child abuse and neglect than men.
