This information is brought to you by My Sister's Place . Women don't do that to each other.
Lesbians do batter other lesbians.
This myth comes from the belief that women do not learn to use power and control over others the way that men do. Battering occurs in lesbian relationships at the same rate as heterosexual relationships. Abuse in lesbian relationships is not mutual battering. Battering is not just a fight, it is a method of power and control. The abusers manipulates the victim into believing that she is equally responsible if she takes self-defense action.
