A 2009 study based on police reports, which accounted for the dynamics of domestic violence, found that only 5% of domestic violence incidents were perpetrated by women in heterosexual relationships

Whilst male/female victims are fairly equal...it still seems to be predominantly, males who are assaulting other males.
Though I would agree that there is a worrying trend of people thinking female DV is somehow acceptable. which is not helped AT ALL by how in films for example, its often a 'funny' scene when a girl slaps a guy for something
