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.
