That's both a failure to answer the question AND a regurgitation of a completely discredited complaint. No economist takes the "gender wage gap" seriously - it has been comprehensively debunked.
Domestic violence is bidirectional 50% of the time and of the remaining 50% where it is not, the woman is the aggressor 70% of the time. Debunked.
Women already get the lion's share of the tax dollars paid out for women's health services. Asking for more is a measure of both greed and the belief that society (IE: Men) should pay for women's stuff.
What else it when the average woman makes 8/10 of a mans salary? What is being debunked? Do you have an link's explaining how it has been comprehensively debunked? I'm not sure how you can argue against the statistics, even if you factor in the tax benefits that women have. Women have health tax benefits because their bodies are more complex and the services are needed. Also, men are not the only ones paying those taxes. Everyone pays equally for those taxes.
Domestic violence is not bidirectional in any way, shape, or form. Physically or emotionally harming a partner is never okay, even when instigated. As far being the aggressor, women may very well be the aggressor, but is that as significant as women who are three times more likely to be injured or killed as a result of domestic violence? In that article you linked, only 40% of men were victims of severe DV. Additionally, the overall statistics included violence such as slapping, pushing, and shoving, which is on a completely different level of violence. I'm a little more concerned with the fact that women are three more times as likely to die from DV. Listen, I'm not denying that men aren't victims aren't victims of DV, or saying that pushing/shoving is okay. Statistics show that men are just as affected as women, but the repercussions of DV affect women more. Factor in rape, by a partner, or otherwise, and the numbers overwhelmingly show that women are more impacted than men.
Here is a link to the study released by the CDC in 2010: http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/nisvs_report2010-a.pdf. Pages one and two have the majority of the findings we're discussing.
And a similar study released in 2014: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss6308a1.htm?s_cid=ss6308a1_e

HO HO HO HO HO!
Christ. Feminists are so fucking easy. Always spouting the same discredited bullshit and always bitching for more stuff for women despite their overwhelming level of privilege.
I hope you're not stooping to the level of name calling.
