You go on denying reality.

The reality being that women are asking for it? WTF?

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.

How you interpret what people say is not my problem, thankfully.

Perhaps, but hitting a woman still makes a bloke an arse....something they can come back from but an arse is an arse.

The males in her family should get involved at that point.

Optimistic as ever

Research does tend to bear this out, that men are more likely to experience violence from women in a relationship, than the reverse.

However, the problem of domestic violence as a real tangible threat, and a cause of loss of life, is very much male on female violence. So whilst I do acknowledge that there is a high propensity of women on male violence, that isn't reflected in the situation where in people need access to shelters, regular visits to the ER and murder.

Which is the problem here. It kind of distracts from the significant point, that as a cause of death among young women, violence by men is a problem.

Somewhere in the region of 2 a week according to the Office of National Statistics (2016) (Current or ex-Partners being the culprit).

Questionably these aren't always classed as murders either in statistics - as the UK murder rate is generally between 500-700 a year (or the methodology of the ONS is inconsistent).

The same source cites 1.2m reported incidents in 2016
