If we're speaking in generalities, then of course they are. Just not as frequently as men are.

Then why is single direction DV 70% female perps?

Personally I would say its more of a combo of doing generally less damage/WOW effect/less likely to be towards strangers rather than less frequently violent.

Well now you're no longer talking in generalities, and more specifically domestic violence. But sure, let's ponder why is DV higher for women? Is it really because they're generally more violent than men? If so why are women so underrepresented vs men across most other violent crimes? Would the way western men and women are raised have anything to do with it? E.g. "Never hurt a woman", vs "You can hit a man and he probably won't hit back"? That might have something to do with it, among I'm sure many other factors.

But in general, I'm standing my ground here. Men are generally more violent. But I'm not saying that's necessarily always a bad thing. And if you read up on evolutionary psychology (which can be a taboo subject these days I realize) then you may begin to see why men and women tend to have such different temperaments and propensities toward violence and aggression. At the end of the day, the differences we observe are just the side-effects of how natural selection wired us up over millions of years.

Like I said I think women are more likely to be violent towards those they know and men to others they don't while hiding behind "you can't hit me I am a woman".

Then there is the old goto "proxy violence" I honesty don't think they are any less violent, its just expressed differently for the most part.

Women initiate domestic violence a lot cuz they want rough sex and they hate if a man is ignoring them or just relaxing after work so they try to start drama. It's taboo to say this but obvious.
