    I’d definitely believe the top two. My oldest sister seems to only date dudes that end up beating her, but my other sister has been put in the hospital by every woman she’s dated. I know it’s slim pickings, and rural Midwest lesbians have a lot to be mad about, but stop taking it out on each other! There are more deserving targets.

      I’m getting the sense that the situation with your sisters is less whatever this thread is about and more genetics & culture.

      What’s your situation like?

    Straight women probably commit way more crime but get away with it more frequently. I know I do. Also where are the bi criminals? Are there none? Did we just solve crime?

      That’s silly, imagining that people exist on a spectrum. Don’t you know everything in life is black and white, either or, binary?

      The Kinsey scale only contains 0 and 6 for a reason. If there were any numbers between 0 and 6, people might think the world was complex and nuanced or something.

    I wonder if this is a case of men not reporting sexual violence as commonly often due to societal expectations. At least to a point that is.

    Edit: Also, many police won’t follow through with male reports of violence particularly sexual violence.

      I was about to say the same thing. Women will report violence from women, men are going to be less inclined to.

        And i imagine a lot of gay men have the attitude that if they report intimate partner violence it will come back to hurt them in one way or another.

        I know as a trans woman if I were to report violence from a cis woman I’d likely be reframed as the perpetrator and if I were to report violence from a trans woman it would be framed as “trans woman commits violent crime” and used to hurt me.

      In some contexts there’s no doubt you have a point, but liberal western cities I suspect that has no more impact than, say, the tendency of women to underreport domestic and sexual violence. Anyway I would imagine that a bigger factor is criminal perpetrators underreporting their own gayness

    Interesting because there’s a very old gay stereotype that they’re extremely violent. These days, it’s usually that gay men are effeminate and passive, and I think a lot of people don’t even realize this stereotype existed.

    Baron Harkonnen and Scar (The Lion King) are examples.

      Jafar. i don’t think these characters often represent violent crime though. more often just deviousness

      Captain Hook, evil dandy trope.

      The Baron Harkonnen example is interesting because the author was admittedly homophobic when he wrote the character, but later regretted the choice after making amends with his gay son.

      Examples of that older stereotype, you mean?

      I’d never have guessed Scar were gay.

    I hate the datamancer of this chart- if you have ‘heterosexual men/women’ the other bars should be labelled ‘homosexual men/women’

    And listing them alphabetically instead of by grouping or delinquency is also mildly irksome.

        that would make it quite hard to get reliable information on the perpetrators’ actual sexuality orientation outside of situations where the victim personally knows them

          Its a survey specifically of intimate partner violence, so it’s all situations where the victim knows the perpetrator. (Again,assuming the data is from the source I think it is).

    Is there any average differences in hormones between gay and straight people of the same gender?

        Is it? I’m don’t feel informed enough to be sure of the answer and I don’t think that finding out one way or another would be problematic. It’s a genuinely interesting question from a scientific perspective that follows on from OP’s chart.

      This morning I drove to the post office going 38 mph when the speed limit is 35. Last week I checked my phone at the social security office when the guard was distracted. Next week, who knows what depravity I may commit.
