More women are being arrested for domestic violence...who thinks these are mostly victims who scratched their man's face defending themselves, and who thinks women initiate at least as much violence against men, as men do against women?

I am a woman who just got arrested for domestic battery trying to protect her 2yr old son and because I did what as a mother comes instinctively and that's to protect their child, I bit his arm and spent 24 hrs in jail. He had a mark on him and I didn't! Financially, this has cost over $3000 to hire a lawyer try to get my record clean.

Interesting...
This is a good question, but I'm sure it will annoy lots of people.
While many have no problems with saying domestic violence is caused by males, to say domestic violence may be caused by females is taboo.
Everyone knows women sometimes initiate violence. But it would be impossible to quantify the degree to which physical violence is initiated by women.
The only thing that is definate is that it takes two to fight. Does it really matter who started it?
What this comes down to is the belief held by some that if a woman hits a man he should never strike her back. I believe that the amount of people who hold this belief is decreasing and that this decrease is due to the community's desire to achieve a greater degree of equality between the sexes.
For this reason I believe we will see an increase in the amount of women arrested for this type of offence, whether or not they are at fault.

you're only seeing one 0.5 of the image. The 0.5 in which the lady is victimized. What about at the same time as the male is victimized? once society easily perceives the mission - which skill the guy has come ahead and admitted there's a mission - then there are the topic matters which arise which contain: woman claiming to be sufferer: Why did not she only go away (she became deigning there became a mission) Why did not she record costs faster (she became deigning there became a mission) He became an abusive bastard and is responsible and must have his balls decrease off. Male claiming to be sufferer: Ya proper, Like that guy couldn't safeguard himself. She hit him? he's two times her length. he's mendacity. he's not any longer guy adequate for her besides. Toss him out. Society nonetheless sees the lady because the sufferer in both case and ponders what convey about the staying power of the mission. Society also perceives the male because the single contained in the incorrect. confident they blame the female sufferer for staying power and prolongation of the placement. yet I ask you, have you ever considered one television teach, one action picture, or one e book in which the male is portrayed because the sufferer? leisure shows better about social perspectives than only gossip.

99.9 percent of violence in the world is down to men, and that's true in the home as well. Women only fight when they're desperate and have no other choice. Only aggressive men would like us to believe that women can be just as violent as them, because it's physically impossible as well as temperamentally disproved.
