I've thus far seen ZERO — 0 — Nada — Null — Zilch Facts presented.
... Or wait, did it ever dawn on you that that still counts as being a female victim...? Or did it ever dawn on you that data on gay couples is far more sparse than the troves of data on what make up heterosexual relationships?
... And are you going to sit there and seriously tell me that you couldn't grasp the fact that "black on black" violence argument is a trope raised by objective racists to skirt the reality of racial discrimination?
It is honestly remarkable that you believe this is some kind of gotcha. Amateur shit, really. Do better.

Please tell me you actually read past the second paragraph.
Padme: You read past the second paragraph, right...?
Golly, it's almost like that article proves my point. Thank you.

Overall, about 2 in 3 women have reported being victims while around 1/3 of men have. So let me just drive this point home for your noggin: The vast majority of victims of rape, physical violence, or stalking are women, and the vast majority of perpetrators are men. End of story. That's all she wrote.
Meanwhile, bisexual women have the greatest rates of abuse than either lesbian or heterosexual women by a large margin.
By the way, just going to drop a hint: Just because you identify as lesbian now or are in a lesbian relationship now doesn't mean you were always lesbian and always had women partners... Duh. In fact, many women who come out of abuse tend to find comfort in other women. Turns out, these studies don't account for that little tidbit.
