Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

A brief search indicates that this is an MRA* talking point where a figure is quoted without any context or nuance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_in_same-sex_relationships
There are further Wikipedia pages discussing the reasons for which it's difficult to accurately asses domestic violence rates and why we shouldn't put too much weight on unreliable figures.
I personally can't bring myself to believe that anyone's gender or sexuality predisposes them to violence or emotional abuse. I assume that both the instances of abuse and the rate at which they're reported are subject to societal factors.
* With this I mean a brand of misogynists and not egalitarian people focused on men's issues. I apologize if this usage is incorrect/offensive.
