Perhaps I missed this as it is a long thread. Are there any stats on the likelihood of reporting said violence in terms of sex of victim ?

Women not pressing charges out of fear, perhaps men not doing so out of embarrassment.

This brings up memories of a sick story. A woman I know attacked her husband twice with a drill. First by trying to hit him with it, then by trying to drill him as he slept. She spent a couple of nights in jail, but nothing serious happened to her legally aside from that. She suffered no loss of friends etc after the incident. It seems like some thought she was some kind of heroine and most of her clique had quite a laugh about it. Incidentally, no, these people aren't from some crumbling trailer park. This woman also did quite a number on the guy's plane.

If a guy did that to a woman he'd be toast.
