I am not understanding why this is a post... Doesn't seem relevant at all to TRP. In fact the entire comment section just seems to be one big circle jerk with no real purpose or discussion.

They'd calm down if they got some dick.

I have been attacked by two girlfriends. Multiple times. Been slapped in the face by a number of others.

I have never laid my hands on a woman.

I think my reality is much more common than women experiencing men beating them up. They know (or think) 1. I won't fight back and hurt them and 2. They won't get in trouble with the police.

I'm sure there is a way to construe lesbian violence as being men's fault, but I can't think of one now.

Domestic violence (including that against children), is higher from women than men, in general.

the stats are very skewed because men just don't report abuse and violence from women for a variety of reasons. i know that i would think twice about calling the police on a violent partner because i'd have to consider the risk that i would get arrested as well.

while on the topic: save yourself the trouble and break up with your partner on good terms if you sense manipulative or violent intent in them. don't try to change or fix violent and abusive people. they'll just drag you down with them, and there are plenty of nice girls out there that you're ignoring because they aren't exciting and dangerous. recognize the fact that you probably have your own rationalization hamster spinning on its wheel in your head, and kill it.

I know one lesbian couple distantly and both of them are borderline scary with their aggressive behaviour in general. So I'm not surprised.

I knew a girl whose friend was in a violent and abusive lesbian relationship, and hearing my friend describe their relationship was terrifying. It wasn't so much that the violence and abuse was more extraordinary than you would expect from a bad relationship between a man and a woman, but that because they were two lesbians, it was impossible for anyone to recognize the problem.

My friend described how eager people around the couple were to make excuses, or to ignore the severity of the abuse, and those who were in positions of authority were more than likely to just chuckle. If I recall correctly, police were involved once, and their reaction was something on the level of: "Yeah, right, two violent and abusive lesbians! That's rich!"

It was really miserable hearing about it though. Here's this girl getting her shit stomped on the regular, who can't even manifest the will to escape a horrible situation, and the reaction of the society at large is that such problems don't exist because they don't fit that pre-programmed outrage narrative that has people reflexively reacting to even the slightest suggestion of male-on-female violence.

It's bad.

Divorce is higher in lesbian relationships, too. That's because there's twice as many women.

Put two emotional people who don't know how to lead in a relationship and this is what you get. Frustration over a lack of direction boils over into violence.

it shows you who kicked the war off

Well you can't have a stable relationship from 2 teenagers. There has to be a stabilizing figure, and that's usually the guy. I wonder what the statistics are for gay men? Probably lower than hetero couples, but not as high as lesbians. This is assuming the DSM criterion that homosexuality is not a mental disorder and these people are perfectly normal.

If we do assume Homosexuality is a mental disorder, and go with the old DSM criteria, i'd expect rates of domestic violence to be higher in homosexual relationships overall.

And this is partly to do with why women are so confused. It's been drilled into their heads to find a nice guy, they lust for bad boys, government puts out PSA's that bad boys are,"abusive." They get into a relationship with a lesbian and get abused.

I always thought it was the same. its just when a man files a domestic abuse report it is ignored by the police.

I'm guess out of that 36%, 20% of the causes comes from who is the rock in the relationship.

Otherwise, if this data does hold water basically it looks like lesbians who do those kind of things are regressing back to the animal kingdom where two alphas fight each other for dominance. Quick someone pitch the idea in the style of an animal documentary.

I do find it sad though that people who would deny that lesbians don't participate in domestic violence or even deny that maybe women can be domestically violent won't see the truth because they choose to ignore reality and input their own reality.

Oh well, I at least have faith that we as men are above this behavior and are more rationally diplomatic than our female counterparts. And if we do engage in violence towards each other it will at least be an honorable fight.

And coincidentally, the gay couple living above me are just the nicest people and no one ever had a problem with them.

I have female friends. Two of them were in a relationship with each other. I'll call then Kate and Ally. Here's the funny bull crap. Now, I've been told through the media that feminists have no problems. Two women together won't have the same problems that a heterosexual couple has. So how come they did nothing but argue. Kate, who was the real lesbian, would moan on about how Ally didn't show enough affection, and that Ally didn't know how to love. Ally was so god damn tired of the emotional needs of her girlfriend. Now I was there from the cradle to the grave. So I saw everything Ally did to show how much she cared, and it was never enough. And she was the one who was having so much trouble with men, and thought a woman would be different. We went out for happy hour and she told me that she sees what we have to go through. She let it all out and I could not stop laughing. Her own words, "I have trouble with men, but I would rather have trouble with men than to go through some bullshit with women. At least I don't have to hear about your feelings every single day." She hightailed it so fast to the first blue eyed, washboard abs, blonde hair guy she could find.

This reminds me of lesbian couple I've known for a few months. The fem is actually the abusive one. The stud just takes it and then apologizes for making her mad.

I like the theory that b/c women are most likely to cry wolf, when you have 2 females, you have the highest rate of reported violence.

Even if this is the whole reason for the difference, it would serve to cast welcome skepticism on heteresexual reports of domestic violence.

The truth is probably some of both.

is male same sex violence the same prevalence as heterosexual?

Mentally ill people behave poorly

Wow really?? This is BREAKING NEWS who would have guessed these mentally ill degenerates do things like this?

How depraved is it that I find the idea of lesbian chicks kicking the shit out of each other ridiculously hot?

I never heard violence was higher in lesbian relationships. I heard it was higher in gay relationships.

I have, however, heard that breakups are far more common in lesbians relationships as two hyper-emotional people can't keep anything together.

No offense, but I don't see how lesbian relationships have anything to do with being red pill.

Dykes have a rep for being jelly and possessive. They also tend to be more alpha than your average guy in terms of not taking shit and reacting with violence to keep their girl in line.

Women never want female roommates as adults because of this. They become bitchy assholes (esp. if they want kids and it's not happening) and the only one who will tolerate that shit is a man, esp. a beta man. She can bullshit that guy and he'll put up with a lot of it.

Whereas another woman won't be nice to her at all and when words fail, which they will almost immediately, violence could be coming soon.

I am sure the survey result is correct. I am surprised the incidence isn't higher in lesbian relationships. Women cannot resolve problems between themselves (sometimes it's possible if a man supervises) so wouldn't all lesbian relationships go to violence?

I was good friends with a lesbian couple for almost a year. We'd hang out at the bars and at their apartment weekly. Probably once a month they'd be having a fight that turned violent. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was on the dom's birthday: she got really drunk and ended up getting pissed about nothing and choking out her mate in the bathroom. I heard it and ran in there and broke them up. I stopped hanging with them after that.

Occasionally I see them and they always say "let's hang out". I tell them to text me but they never do. They don't seem to want to separate. It's like they both enjoy the emotional roller coaster.

My lesbian neighbors fight all the time. The only thing more difficult/trying than one woman in a relationship, is two.

My lesbian friend AND her twin both date abusive women, the one pair has been together for 11 years too. It is literally a joke to them, they laugh about it in public..

Despite that, they are actually really nice (and actually attractive) they even gave me a Pebble smart watch for Christmas. I guess they didn't get my joke when I said "I wanna watch".

Was friends with a lesbian couple for about 5 years. They had a 3 bedroom townhome- one bedroom for when they were not fighting a seperate bedrooms for each one when they were.

P (the more masculine one) told me at least one day a week H would tell her to go sleep in "her room". Also at least one day a week H would just say "I'm staying in my room". So basically about a 1/3 of the time too angry to sleep in the same room with each other.

Also knew an older lesbian couple (late 50's\early 60's) and they just each had separate bedrooms. One of them pretty much traveled 1/2 the time (family etc) the other stayed home.

I mean look at the divorce rates for same sex men and women- can anything else tell you we have a difference here?
