In a recent interview on GB News, Julie Bindel challenged the contention made by her interviewer, Philip Davies MP, that official statistics show that women are more likely to be abused by same-sex partners than opposite-sex partners. Our thanks to William Collins, author of The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect (2019) – the paperback is selling on Amazon for £25.00, the ebook edition just £4.32 – who has provided us with a link to the relevant official statistics.
The evidence is contained in an Office for National Statistics report (click on the 2020 dataset) which has data from the Crime Survey of England and Wales report covering the 12 months to the end of March 2020. It’s in the report’s Excel file, specifically here in Table 6, rows 94, 95. Women are equally likely (0.5%) to have been assaulted sexually by female and male partners (column P). Cells G94 and G95 shows that a woman is almost twice as likely to have been abused (all forms, collectively) by a female partner (10.1%) than a male partner (5.3%).

Justice for Men & Boys 
its not just the ONS.
I can remember reading this from the Pew research centre, which listed the prevalence of violence within the 3 known groups of relationship ( same sex men, women and heterosexual couples).
The lowest prevalence was surprise, surprise was same sex men, followed by heterosexual couples and then same sex women at the highest rate.
This of course doesn’t mean all women , just as it doesn’t mean all men, but it does appear to show the common denominator in the majority.
For all the clamouring of “protect the women”, you would think that if you wanted to protect women, you would have to address the prevalence of violence. Acknowledge that and resolve it, and I’m willing to bet a big chunk of DV would drop off the stats( and men,woemn and children) would be a lot healthier for it( good for the economy as well if society is so inclined)

Thanks Rob. I’d love to interview Julie Bindel and put this to her. When she was interviewed by Philip Davies MP and Esther McVey MP for GB News she flat-out denied the evidence of lesbian-on-lesbian violence.

“ Cells G94 and G95 shows that a woman is almost twice as likely to have been abused (all forms, collectively) by a female partner (10.1%) than a male partner (5.3%).”
These cells indicate only the sexual orientation of the victim, not the sex of the perpetrator of violence. A lot of lesbian women have male partners for various reasons before being in exclusively lesbian relationships. You really cannot infer who the perpetrators are from this data, only who the victims are. Apart from that, however, women are the majority of victims, regardless of perpetrator.

Kieran, you’re mistaken. The researchers wouldn’t have classified someone as gay / lesbian if they were living with someone of the opposite sex. You’re also wrong about the majority of victims. The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (PASK13) reported, following a review of the literature, that in straight couples where there’s violence, in 58% of cases the violence is bi-directional. In the 42% of cases where it’s uni-directional, the perpetrator is twice as likely to be the woman as the man. It’s a complete myth that the majority of victims are women, a myth that sustains the highly lucrative feminmist DV industry, and means resources to support male victims are close to non-existent.
