Can't help but wonder if maybe this is because violence towards women in relationships is higher than it is towards men. Edit: Before you dismiss my comment, feel free to look at the details. There have been countless studies that confirm this. https://www.thehotline.org/resources/statistics/

You're spreading anecdotes.

Oh boy, research showing differences between biological genders. This is going to either be ignored or absolutely explode.

>biological genders The word you're looking for is "sex." There's no such thing as a "biological gender."

If gender identity is not biological, what is it?

In case you're genuinely interested, see wiki[0] for an overview of the evidence of parity and controversy.

"a term for a grammatical subclass to join sex in referring to either of the two primary biological forms of a species" Don't try to rewrite grammar to fit trends. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gender

I dunno how many times I've had to explain this to people. Usage and grammar literally aren't the same thing.

That's incorrect.

It’s worth considering that although the absolute incidence of violence female->male is higher, common sense dictates that the incidence of terrifying and potentially seriously injurious violence is much higher male->female, which is why more concern is directed at it.

What sort of men? Cisgender men? Heterosexual men? Arabic men? There's no such thing as a man -- "man" an abstract concept that needs definition before any useful statement can be made about people in that category.

The article says they only looked at heterosexual relationships, so there's that.

Anecdotal, however I find that in my lifetime I was/am able to 'move on' and forget about things such as minor disagreements between partners where they (female partners) have tended to dwell on things longer than my male friends. Could have been the same if I had male partners I suppose, although that isn't my personal taste.

Not just in relationships but even among co-workers I notice there is a lot more gossip between the biological females and they tend to bring up things like, "Do you remember when so and so did [Insert minor issue from 2 months ago]?"

To repeat this is just my observations from 20 years of office work and a half dozen or so relationships I had before settling down with the current love of my life.

The point of all of this, I feel is that to many people, the epiphany the article is making was quite obvious, although it is neat to see this quantified.

When couples break up it’s usually because the man is a loser, so it makes sense. Added: Look, I’m not happy about this, it’s just the way it is, and pretending otherwise just gets everybody into a ton of trouble.

Any papers to confirm?

That would work the other way, as more men are physically abused by their partners than the other way around.

Got a source for that?

Had read the paper but didn't keep a link: it was a fairly uncontroversial one that more men reported being physically/psychologically abused in relationships, but of lower intensity/lethality. Im sure you can find it.
