LIE: Women only Commit Domestic Violence in Self-Defense

This statement was purely speculative and had no basis in fact. All credible studies that have been done on this topic show that women are just as violent as men, and, they commit acts of violence against their partners for the same reasons as men.


TRUTH:
Women commit domestic violence for the same reasons that men do.
In a study, men and women both gave the same reasons for assaulting their partners. The most common reason was, "to get through to them".
(Carrado, "Aggression in British Heterosexual Relationships; A Descriptive Analysis," Aggressive Behavior, (1996) 22: 401-415.)

BRAINWASHING:
Women cannot do any wrong. It is assumed that any violence a woman commits is in self-defense.
This further demonizes men too, as since the domestic violence women commit is in self-defense, it means that the man must have initiated the violence.
