So no wonder violence by women is not considered in the narrative around family violence, most people, including the women to whom you refer above, just dismiss it as irrelevant... and this is wrong.

Thanks Mike. I definitely agree that not all violence is perpetrated by men. And dismissing any violence is just plain wrong. I also feel that posts that are dismissive of violence towards women are ignoring reality.
The overwhelming majority of violence is caused by men it's just the way we were created and sadly raised.
