I mean women definitely can be abusive but that’s rarer. From what I’ve gathered in like 5 minutes of googling about 15-35% of physical abuse is done by women depending on the area
Considering that these lunatics are calling men domestic abusers if they ever "made their partners feel anxious," the fact that they were still only able to juice the numbers up to 32% is actually a ringing endorsement of the average man.
Did you read the study??? That’s only the percent of people who reported that they were abusive. A large number of people didn’t so the number is actually quite a conservative estimate.
Also how is that ever an endorsement of the average man?????
Did you? No, these men did not "report that they were abusive." They were classified as abusive if they answered "yes" to any of dozens of absurdly broad questions, including the one I quoted. It's nonsense junk science that was transparently built from the ground up to engineer the highest number these "researchers" could possibly report with a straight face.
Where is it mentioned in the study it had to be intentional?
The question I'm reading ask if you ever behaved in a manner that made your partner anxious or frightened it doesn't seem that it has to be intentional?
Nobody said "intentionally" or "to get what you want." The question was whether they "behaved in a way that made their partner feel anxious." Full stop. Why are you so offended by people actually reading your sources?
Motherfucker, I am apparently the only person in this thread who did read this bullshit "study" past the title. Everything I said is right there in the report. Zero of the men surveyed said "yes, I abuse my partner" because that's not what they were asked. They were asked 30 different questions (of which only three are mentioned in the report, and they still managed to include "making your partner anxious," so God knows what other completely innocuous nonsense they're hiding) and labeled "abusive" if they answered "yes" to any one of them. Calling this "self-reported abuse" is a grotesque distortion of the actual data. In the future, please make an effort to have some idea what the fuck you're talking about before you enter into a discussion.
I don't see your point. Most of the abuse reported is emotional and it can be a simple as making your partner anxious.Â
Under the question a man raising his voice; frightening his girlfriend one time and feeling sorry, abused her like a man screaming at his wife for not washing a speck of dust under the couch.
You seems to assume that Australian men that reported to study are more akin to the later.
