Boys, Not Girls, More Often Victims of Dating Violence

"Then there’s the reality that this is all part and parcel of a decades-long rise in female violence in general. The increase in the rate of girls’ juvenile delinquency has surpassed that of boys for decades now — including in the area of violent offenses. As research group The Future of Children reported, “Between 1985 and 2002, the overall number of delinquency cases for girls increased 92 percent.”

Yet there’s more to it still. As I wrote in 2014 about domestic abuse, “Other observers point out that some women will take advantage of domestic-violence laws and procedures, knowing that if a man they assault retaliates, calling the police will generally result in the onus being placed on him.”

You idiot.

You know, don't you, that The New American website is merely a mouthpiece for the John Birch Society?

No wonder they claim nonsense like this.

People are beginning to realise that domestic violence isn't always the man beating the woman.

20+ years ago I dated a police woman who headed the local domestic violence unit.
She said she was astounded at the number of men being beaten by their wives.
And not a single man had pressed charges.

In the news recently a UK man died from domestic abuse.
He suffered years of it (including his wedding day).

It isn't something to scoff at.

40% of victims of domestic violence are men.

40% is a long way from saying that more boys are victims of dating violence than girls.

where is your proof concerning boys vs girls? I find it very telling none of the libs here provided any facts, just attacked the poster.

That is because you are so easy to attack. How long have you been a member of the John Birch society?
