(a) its a US article

(b) professional women are likely to be more educated therefore more likely to report abuse ass they are aware of help open to them

It is an article on reported incidence statistics.

What is always soooooo annoying about these articles is the assumption that men should have power and authority is ever questioned or undermined. It would have been heartening for there to a least be an undercurrent of 'twats for believing that they should have power and authority over women'. But its the daily fail.......

Very misleading article.

As others have said, women who have jobs and are able to be financially independent are much more likely to go to the police. So those figures are skewed really.

If anything those women are less likely to be victims of sustained DV.
