Acutally, they are not. Rigorous research studies (as opposed to poor feminist studies) show that women initiate physical violence against their domestic partners as much or more often than men do. However, men's violence is more serious on average.
This is an extremely complicated area of human relations. There are too many "reasons" to list them all here.
Briefly:
There are at least two sets of factors that explain why women are more often victims of abuse - cultural and psychological.
In male-dominated, chauvinistic, or misogynistic cultures and societies, abuse is condoned rather than condemned. Additionally, those mental health disorders associated with inflicting abuse are more prevalent among men. Mental health issues that are common in women make them more vulnerable to becoming victims of abusive relationships. Some women have a pathological problem of choosing men who abuse as partners, over and over again. These people have a warped perspective of what love is all about. They hate the abuse but continue to "love" the abuser being convinced the abuse is their own fault and no other man would want to be with them.
Men are expected, and expect, in some societies to be the dominant one in the relationship. For men who have problems with anger any "defiance", or resistance to being dominated, is seen as a problem that needs to be fixed and it usually comes in the form of physical abuse.
Throughout human history there has never been much punishment or public condemnation for men who abuse women. Men have always dominated. Men were the absolute authority in the home, were the only family member with legal and political rights and were the only member to have the right to navigate the public sphere. Women were relegated to the back rooms of the home, hidden from public view. Abuse of women was minimized, justified, expected, ignored and promoted at church. In medieval times it only brought the attention of the local authority if there was serious crippling injury or death. Otherwise, it was just a regular part of every day life.
Most men who abuse women still think they have the right to abuse them. Men who abuse do not respect women and often despise them. Men who abuse have a misconception about masculinity, and are usually terribly insecure about their own power and position in the world. They continue to abuse even though they know it is no longer their right to abuse and it is against the law.
It is reported that one in three women is in an abusive relationship. It can begin as early as high school. Common problems among abusive men are poor communication skills, no desire to compromise, blaming others for they way they feel or their lack of success in life, a desire to control and the need to feel powerful when they are often undistinguished in the outside world.
Some men feel proud and justified for "keeping their women in their place". Others are shamed by their own behavior and wish they could stop. Many blame their victims for their own lack of self control. Abusers are more authoritarian and demand unquestioned obedience to their authority. They believe that women are inferior and they come from all walks of life. Men who operate on a higher economic and educational level may be better at hiding it.
Some facts:
because males are mischevious and females are sensitive.
yes, Girls who get impaired are vulnerable to assault or date rape.
No
Not in that specific terminology. In jurisdictions in which I have worked it falls under the more general category of "Indecent Assault."
Women are more susceptible to cancer because it is very common for women to have mood swings. Mood swings are bad for health as they affect hormone production. Fluctuating hormonal level is a main cause for cancer.
The question needs to be more specific as to state or federal statute(s) and the type of sexual offense, (rape, sexual batttery, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault WUW, sexual harassment, etc); and did it pertain to minors (such as child molestation) or adults.
what is it you want to know, please be more specific
Sexual practices which lead to oral-anal contact, directly or indirectly contribute to Shigella infection.
This all depends on the type of person you are. Some women are more sexual than men and visa versa. As a general rule though men are more sexual inclined then men.
Depends on the state, battery in some states and assault in others. Missouri - Assault...Any unwanted physical contact upon your person by another person is an assault. If it is nothing more than just a touch, that is a common assault. If it is a sexual touch, than it becomes sexual assault. If a weapon of any kind is used, other than a hand, it is an aggrevated assualt. Different states have different degrees for assault.
demographics
No that is not true.
The following are all types of assault, I am sure this list will grow as more users add to it. I have just provided a foundation. * Physical: Assault occasioning grievous bodily harm (usually before a murder, AU) Aggravated assault (with use of a weapon and/or increased force) * Sexual * Verbal
