It is estimated that 2 million to 4 million US women are assaulted by a domestic partner every year. Twelve million women (25% of the female population) will be abused in their lifetime. Up to 35% of women and 22% of men presenting to the Emergency Department have experienced domestic violence.

I am a man and I believe that violence is out of the question, be it against man or woman. Everyone has the responsability to control themselves. I think there are no excuses to display violence.

Hope that helps.
