With Apologies to Sena Bryer

This is actually a myth. Here is a video where a guy explores the study you're citing in depth, including the part where 97.1% of female victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking by an intimate partner had only male perpetrators.



I'm not trying to argue with you or say you're a bigot or whatever is making you get so hostile in response. I am only telling you about my own personal experience with what you are talking about.

Oh cool he's wrong too.

The same statistics show that 66% of those lesbians did only ever experience violence at the hands of other women. At best and worst we're both wrong and the statistics suck (which I would agree with).

That's because you're missing this part:

The CDC also stated that 43.8% of lesbian women reported experiencing physical violence, stalking, or rape by their partners. The study notes that, out of those 43.8%, two thirds (67.4%) reported exclusively female perpetrators. The other third reported at least one perpetrator being male, however the study made no distinction between victims who experienced violence from male perpetrators only and those who reported both male and female perpetrators. Similarly, 61.1% of bisexual women reported physical violence, stalking, or rape by their partners in the same study with 89.5% reporting at least one perpetrator being male. In contrast, 35% of heterosexual women reported having been victim of intimate partner violence, with 98.7% of them reporting male perpetrators exclusively.

Judging by the quality of their other arguments, I'm not sure they understand what 'per capita' means.

An important thing to note is the distinction "reported".

In spite of the shocking prevalence of domestic violence (around 1 in 4 women will experience violence at the hands of a partner), according to the Crime Report, nearly half (44%) of domestic violence cases go unreported.

I didn't miss that. The statistics suck and I agreed from a cursory look at the stats provided that I was wrong about Lesbians having the highest rate, but multiple instances of DV can happen from multiple perpetrators and there's not enough data. Unless you're going to infer it from other groups which is disingenuous.
