'Breaking the Silence' on Female-on-Male Violence

Dear PBS,

A huge amount of credible research demonstrates that domestic violence is an equal opportunity experience. Take for example this one source:

REFERENCES EXAMINING ASSAULTS BY WOMEN ON THEIR SPOUSES OR MALE PARTNERS: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

SUMMARY: This bibliography examines 174 scholarly investigations: 138 empirical studies and 36 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 163,800.

Perhaps it's time for PBS to develop and broadcast a documentary that presents the facts as they are rather than how an extremist group would like them to be.

Please forward to . .
