it's one of those things that is waved about a lot my mra groups. that incidents of female on male abuse are higher than the stats and conviction rates suggest.
i've been doing a lot of research into DV and abuse in relationships recently, and what i've found particularly shocking is that the incidents of female on male abuse are almost certainly much lower than the stats suggest, and that many, possibly a majority (depending on who you ask) of cases where a man reports physical abuse by a woman it's actually part of his campaign of abuse against her. some DV counsellors actually state that when they hear about a woman abusing a man they assume that it's the other way round because as far as they're concerned that's almost certainly the case. very depressing and makes me hate MRA types even more - because this sort of behaviour is explicitly and deliberately hurting those men they claim to be representing and helping. they're hurting men just to strike blows against women!
