Do you care if your boyfriend is physically stronger than you are?

Topick at hand.

Last boyfriend was bigger than me and hit me a lot, so I think I prefer being the stronger one.

I'm a more athletic guy these days, I exercise more and Im a bit more built up, so I think I'd be strong enough to take some people on with a chance.

I always told my daughter when she started school, if a boy ever hits you, make sure you hit him back harder or just kick him in the goolies hard as you can.

Contrary to popular belief, women are pretty close to men for domestic abuse. It's 1 in 3 women experiencing physical abuse from men, and 1 in 4 men experiencing physical abuse from women, and that's only the cases where men consider it a problem or aren't ashamed enough to report it. Men are definitely capable of doing more serious damage in domestic abuse, but there's no reason to think women wouldn't do the same damage if they were the stronger one. There are also studies showing that women are more prone to road rage than men.

It would be nice and simple if one gender was good and the other bad, one is always the abuser and the other the victim, but things aren't that black and white. It's actually pretty evenly balanced.

And all this isn't even taking psychological abuse into account.

The funny thing is that you're replying to a message from a gay man talking about his ex-boyfriend.

You may want to read context more carefully before pushing your argument.

(Also, my dad's the aggressive driver in our household. My mom's more deferential, and she's certainly passed that to her offspring, without regards to gender.)

I actually looked for any other posts from him above that and on the previous page to gain some context, but somehow missed the one below it. Oh well, it's still some thought provoking statistics to add to the discussion.
