I hear quite often about domestic abusers... (Update)

37. According to the CDC, about 40% of domestic violence victims are men.

Overall, 35.6% of women, and 28.5% of men, are the victims of domestic violence perpetrated by an intimate partner at some point in their life. 24.3% of women, and 13.8% of men are victims of severe domestic violence resulting in injuries requiring medical attention or legal intervention.

Women are unquestionably victims more often than men are, and statistically they are more likely to sustain severe injuries in the violence, but the assumption that only a "tiny percentage" of the aggressors are women is blatantly false.

There are actually a few government studies suggesting that up to 70% of domestic violence may actually be perpetrated by women, and that it's simply under-reported because a man who calls the police over a slap from his wife would be treated as a laughingstock in our society. These surveys suggest that women are more likely to strike first, but are less likely to cause damage. (http://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/abs/10.2105/AJPH.2005.079020)
