There was an american study that looked into child abuse in lesbian families and do you know what they found? Of the 100 families they asked, they found none, 0, nada cases of child abuse. If we lesbians were as abusive as he claimed we were, the numbers would look way different. The men saying that to you is just homophobes and assholes.

That study is said to be from 2011 and it makes sense because there are more updated studies that show the opposite. Here are some examples:

Hart Family Murder: white lesbian couple abuse their biracial black kids. When educators and neighbors report it, the system ignores the claims. Many point to racism as the factor. The Hart moms drove their kids off a cliff(relative to that study of kids).

In 2020, an UK woman, Greeca Gordon, killed her friend and roommate for not having sex with her.

A study from 2018 posted on NCADV state 43.8% of lesbians and 61.1% have been raped, stalked, or abused by their same sex partnered.

April 22, 2021, woman, Latisha Bell, shoots ex girlfriend in the head on camera.

And more.

Yeah, OP, the guys were asses but these things do happen in our community. And we shouldn't ignore them. I used to be friends with a woman who would rape drunk women at clubs. It happens...

I think the study that is often referred to is this one: https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_sofindings.pdf

The stats: Lesbian – 43.8% Bisexual women - 61.1% Heterosexual women – 35.0%

But I'm pretty sure male partners are included in these stats. There is a gender breakdown somewhere in there if I remember correctly. But in those overall stats above, I think men are included - think closeted lesbians, bi women who self ID as lesbians etc.

It also says this:

"Consequently, the basis of the key independent variable in this report, current sexual orientation, may not represent the sexual orientation of respondents when the violence actually occurred"

edit: Here's something from NCADV: https://ncadv.org/blog/posts/domestic-violence-and-the-lgbtq-community

"43.8% of lesbian women and 61.1% of bisexual women have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lifetime, as opposed to 35% of heterosexual women." It doesn't specifically say partners of the same sex it just says 'intimate partner'

But the numbers seem to be pulled from the earlier study that I've linked.

Yeap,that same damn "study" (aka telephone survey) with the 112 lesbian sample which still concludes that the main perpetrators of violence against women are men.
