Kun kovasti toiset pitävät yllä käsitystä erityisesti naisiin kohdistuvasta vihapuheesta niin pitäisikö jo puuttua naisten parisuhteissa miehiin kohdistamaan vihapuheeseen ja uhkailuun?

A 2007 study of Spanish college students aged 18–27 found that psychological aggression (as measured by the Conflict Tactics Scale) is so pervasive in dating relationships that it can be regarded as a normalized element of dating, and that women are substantially more likely to exhibit psychological aggression.[16] Similar findings have been reported in other studies.[17]

Strauss et al. found that female intimate partners in heterosexual relationships were more likely than males to use psychological aggression, including threats to hit or throw an object.[18]
