We were taught as little kids to keep our hands to ourselves, that goes to both males and females. Females should not be going around putting their hands on anyone, and the same goes for guys. We have to be fair

I agree with some of this. People do tend to discount legitimate domestic abouse when it's a woman abusing a man. But you're focusing on the tiny, tiny minority in domestic abuse situations. And I guess I don't really understand why.

It's not a tiny minority. Just look how the news react to situations like that. We just live in a double standard society, which is really annoying. When it comes to physical abuse, females get the benefit of the doubt, just like a guy can have sex with 5 girls in one week, and he will be considered a "player", if a female does the same exact thing, she is a hoe, slut, smut, etc.

It is a tiny minority. The overwhelming majority of domestic abuse is the man abusing the woman. I don't think it's right for any woman to abuse a man in any way, but that is very abnormal.
And the news reacts to a situation like this because Ray Rice more or less got a slap on the wrist for doing something heinous.

Yeah, I think the real debate here is why Rice gets a 2-game suspension for domestic abuse when Gordon could be facing a 1-year suspension for pot. Especially when we're talking about a league whose #1 sponsor is the BEER industry (although that might explain it all right there...)

Yup. According to a recent report by the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 85% of domestic abuse victims are women. I'd say that would qualify men as a tiny minority in this case.

Hmmm 15% would be what 5x the gay population?

I work in law enforcement and this absolutely is a flawed statistic. More domestic abuse victims are women then men, but it's a hell of a lot closer than you think.

I'm sure it varies by area... but the impression that I get is that the overwhelming majority of domestic abuse victims are women. I'd believe 15% before I'd believe say, 35-40%.

I can only comment on what Iv seen but based on that, I'd say that 40 is easily believable.
