Of course, somewhere around 90% of spousal physical abuse is done by
men.  I think your 52% figure, why true, I DON'T KNOW, is a bit like male
concern about being raped by a woman. It's a myth.  I don't think
many residents of domestic violence shelters are men.  I suggest we, as
men, admit that our gender is the problem here, and stop grasping for straws.
 
 
...why do you think the women murder the men ANYWAY???
