bear with me here, i really haven't figured out how to use the quote feature

[QUOTE=denuseri;966034]Its the same here in the States...which is why I have a license to carry...and do. Things like the stand your ground law can make a very big difference for women in surviving unscathed or not in a very real way if attacked outside the home.

Additionally:

An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year.

[QUOTE=denuseri;966034]85% of domestic violence victims are women.[QUOTE=denuseri;966034][

false, archer, 2000 showed that men and women strike each other at near equal rates

Historically, females have been most often victimized by someone they knew.

Females who are 20-24 years of age are at the greatest risk of nonfatal intimate partner violence.

[QUOTE=denuseri;966034][Most cases of domestic violence are never reported to the police.[QUOTE=denuseri;966034]

and reporting a fake one is a great way to get the upper hand in a divorce, just ask my uncle

Almost one-third of female homicide victims that are reported in police records are killed by an intimate partner.

[QUOTE=denuseri;966034]In 70-80% of intimate partner homicides, no matter which partner was killed, the man physically abused the woman before the murder.[QUOTE=denuseri;966034]

As Archer, 2000 has shown, men and women strike first at equal rates, women just don't leave a black eye

Less than one-fifth of victims reporting an injury from intimate partner violence sought medical treatment following the injury.

Intimate partner violence results in more than 18.5 million mental health care visits each year.

Nearly 7.8 million women have been raped by an intimate partner at some point in their lives.

Sexual assault or forced sex occurs in approximately 40-45% of battering relationships.

1 in 12 women have been stalked in their lifetime.

81% of women stalked by a current or former intimate partner are also physically assaulted by that partner; 31% are also sexually assaulted by that partner.

Approximately 20% of the 1.5 million people who experience intimate partner violence annually obtain civil protection orders.

Approximately one-half of the orders obtained by women against intimate partners who physically assaulted them were violated.

More than two-thirds of the restraining orders against intimate partners who raped or stalked the victim were violated.

Department of Justice statistics revealed that women who resisted their attackers with the use of a firearm were twice as likely to survive a violent encounter unscathed as those who followed proactive "passive defensive means" (IE blowing a whistle, screaming for help, running away etc) and 4 times as likely to survive unscathed as those resisting through other means (IE martial arts, pepper spray, tasers etc).
