Op-Ed: When wives beat their husbands, no one wants to believe it

"According to journalist and author Cathy Young (writing for the Los Angeles Times), more than 200 studies have confirmed that in violent relationships, "women are as likely as men to be the aggressors." She goes on to reference a study by the National Institute of Justice and one by the CDC – both of which found that "about 40% of those reporting serious assaults by current or former partners in the past year were men, and most of their attackers were women." Overall, studies find that female-on-male assaults account for 12% to 40% of injuries from domestic violence. Men also make up about 30% of intimate homicide victims, not counting confirmed cases of female self-defense."
