Why is it only important when it's a male abuser and a female victim?

Because males are much more dangerous to women than some abusive dyke.

How so? I think you're biased. Somehow being male automatically makes everything you do worse.

Because when a man hits a woman it actually hurts them.

When lesbians flap at each other, throw plates, scratch and pull hair they both walk away pretty pissed but pretty much unharmed.

That doesn't add up. Men are more dangerous to each other than women, why couldn't women be dangerous to each other? Or do you think women are incapable of anything truly evil?

Women are capable of a lot of evil but punching isn't their strong point. They play to their advantages.

It's extremely more common and therefore a pattern that stands out more. Its really simple and I think you're trying to 'whataboutism' here to lessen the impact of the retardation about "men=bad" that comes from the left.

Not everything women say about men is a "men=bad" argument. Domestic violence by men against women is a thing, has been for ages, probably will always be tbh.

We just established that lesbian relationships are exponentially more violent, at least according to this thread. You also ignore the fact that women do abuse men but rarely face consequences for it; if anything the man will be blamed somehow. This is itself a willfully ignorant men=bad argument.

And so what? You're talking about proportions, I'm talking about absolute numbers. Most people dgaf about lesbians, most people are straight, and most domestic violence is a man beating a woman. Simple as. Has nothing to do with men=bad, just a reality of why you don't hear a lot of people talking about DV in lesbian relationships. You asked the question, I answered it accurately.

I think you just don't want to face the fact that women aren't always innocent angel victims, and men aren't always violent thugs. You blatantly dismiss when women do something bad, but when men do something to women that's the only time you're like "this is some real shit!".

That's....not where I was going with it at all. I made no absolute statements. The pattern still exists whether you like it or not. There are gendered differences in behavior. And men are on average more violent. I'm answering why people don't CARE about lesbian violence. It's not because they're women, it's because they're a minority that nobody really gives a fuck about. They're not contributing to the gene pool, let them kill each other I guess.
