My youngest son experienced this back when he was 13. He still isn't completely over it.

VANCOUVER — Who is more likely to be victimized by teen dating violence? If you’re quick to think it’s girls, new data shows you’re wrong. In a surprising twist, recently published research indicates boys are more likely to report being victims of dating violence committed by partners who hit, slap or push them.
Researchers with the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Simon Fraser University (SFU) conducted a longitudinal study of dating violence. While reports of physical abuse went down over time, they say there is a troubling gender-related trend.

Sounds about right. My exwife kicked, punched and threw all kinds of stuff around at me. If not leaving her high and dry she would have killed me and gotten away with it.

Been there myself. 5 years married to a woman who punched. 37 years married to one that doesn't I much prefer my 2nd marriage. Oh by the way when the ex wifes mother calls and threatens to kill you because you are divorcing her daughter and you report her to the Duluth Police they just laugh. It made no difference to them that she had already murdered 2 people and attempted to kill 6 more. I left Duluth and good riddance.

Mike Tierney Duluth is home to those feminist who developed The Duluth Protocol for domestic violence. It has haunted mankind ever since.

Michael Medley No Duluth Protocol for me just laughter. I did tell the cops if they found my body where to look for the killer. I vacated my house and got it on the market within 24 hours. Loaded my stuff on a UHAUL and I was on my way. The crazy killer lady never found me after that. I now own guns and she would be in her 90's I am not as worried as I was.

It probably has always been that way, not an increase. And...it probably holds true for adults, not just teens. I know just as many wives who had lay their hands on their husbands then visa versa. The men absorb it, because they are taught don't never hit a girl, just to absorb it. Sad, isn't it? It's the double standard. So...the study doesn't surprises men.

It does, 70% of non-reciprocal (one way) domestic violence in hetero relationships is committed by women.

From the first time when I was very little and a much older and larger girl hit me and I slugged her back, then got the lecture on how boys aren’t supposed to hit girls meanwhile she wasn’t disciplined at all for hitting me first, it never sat right with me. This is one of those social curses the boomers are leaving America.

The double standard today is crazy. A female I know kicked a car and dented it. Nothing happened. A guy does that to his ex's car, he'd be rounded up for DV.

Sadly to end the double standard; the guy with the girlfriend damaged his car needs a lawyer to help him swear out a warrent to force the police to act.
