    I support the message, but sure would like more info on the y axis: what exactly are 4 points of violent delinquency? How does that compare to 6, or 1?

    Straight women probably commit way more crime but get away with it more frequently. I know I do. Also where are the bi criminals? Are there none? Did we just solve crime?

    I’d definitely believe the top two. My oldest sister seems to only date dudes that end up beating her, but my other sister has been put in the hospital by every woman she’s dated. I know it’s slim pickings, and rural Midwest lesbians have a lot to be mad about, but stop taking it out on each other! There are more deserving targets.

      As a bi trans woman, I’ve definitely noticed similar trends between straight guys and lesbian women. And for anybody wondering, in my experience, lesbian trans women are equally as abusive as cis lesbian women, and straight trans men equally as predatory as cis straight men.

      I’m getting the sense that the situation with your sisters is less whatever this thread is about and more genetics & culture.

      What’s your situation like?

          Because maybe the personality type you’ve inherited through genes predisposes you to be attracted to abusive partners. Maybe his/her whole family has similar preferences. Maybe it’s a taught thing. Abused children are more likely to be abusers and such.

          Hi, phase read the rest of my comments in this thread to understand what I failed to convey in that comment. I wasn’t trying to say that certain peoples are inferior. I was asking of there was a family history for such disposition.

          I was saying that it may be the community culture or the household culture. Like some places have the Macho culture where a man can never be wrong and the woman has to support him no matter what, accept him even if he beats you because honey he actually loves you.

          By genetics I meant if your family had a history of being attracted to abusive partners.

            I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt but your initial comment was phrased in such a way as to dog-whistle racist eugenics talking points, in case you’re wondering why people are hostile here. As for your last sentence I don’t believe genetics works like that, which contributes to why you’re giving off vaguely dog-whistle-y vibes.

    I wonder if this is a case of men not reporting sexual violence as commonly often due to societal expectations. At least to a point that is.

    Edit: Also, many police won’t follow through with male reports of violence particularly sexual violence.

      I was about to say the same thing. Women will report violence from women, men are going to be less inclined to.

        And i imagine a lot of gay men have the attitude that if they report intimate partner violence it will come back to hurt them in one way or another.

        I know as a trans woman if I were to report violence from a cis woman I’d likely be reframed as the perpetrator and if I were to report violence from a trans woman it would be framed as “trans woman commits violent crime” and used to hurt me.

      In some contexts there’s no doubt you have a point, but liberal western cities I suspect that has no more impact than, say, the tendency of women to underreport domestic and sexual violence. Anyway I would imagine that a bigger factor is criminal perpetrators underreporting their own gayness

    Interesting because there’s a very old gay stereotype that they’re extremely violent. These days, it’s usually that gay men are effeminate and passive, and I think a lot of people don’t even realize this stereotype existed.

    Baron Harkonnen and Scar (The Lion King) are examples.

      Jafar. i don’t think these characters often represent violent crime though. more often just deviousness

      Captain Hook, evil dandy trope.

      The Baron Harkonnen example is interesting because the author was admittedly homophobic when he wrote the character, but later regretted the choice after making amends with his gay son.

      Examples of that older stereotype, you mean?

      I’d never have guessed Scar were gay.

    I hate the datamancer of this chart- if you have ‘heterosexual men/women’ the other bars should be labelled ‘homosexual men/women’

    And listing them alphabetically instead of by grouping or delinquency is also mildly irksome.

        that would make it quite hard to get reliable information on the perpetrators’ actual sexuality orientation outside of situations where the victim personally knows them

          Its a survey specifically of intimate partner violence, so it’s all situations where the victim knows the perpetrator. (Again,assuming the data is from the source I think it is).
