Rise of the female 'relationship terrorists': Study finds women are more controlling and aggressive towards their partners than men
Psychologists found more women are verbally or physically abusive to partner
Within partner relationships, women are just as controlling as men
It suggests 'intimate partner violence' may not be motivated by patriarchal values, as previously thought

Study leader Dr Elizabeth Bates said: ‘The stereotypical popular view is still one of dominant control by men. That does occur but research over the last ten to 15 years has highlighted the fact that women are controlling and aggressive in relationships too.’
She said scientists may have to think again about the reasons for male violence against women, which previous studies said arose from ‘patriarchal values’ in which men are motivated to seek to control women’s behaviour, using violence if necessary.

My own thoughts on this are simply that men and women have an equal potential for such evil, but express it differently.
