I was a manager for over 30 years. I dealt with a ton of people issues in my day. Surprisingly, I had more cases of women being violent to men than the other way around. I would learn about it because I would be notified of any employee arrests. It runs counter to the prevailing narrative that men are always the bad guys.
There were even two cases of attempted murder. One employee's wife threw a toaster in the shower while he was in it (they soon divorced). The second case involved an employee's wife pulling a knife on him and cutting him pretty bad (I believe they separated later). The only other extreme violence case that really stands out was this one employee duking it out with his old lady. He got arrested, but he told me later "That fucking bitch started throwing plates at my head and then she cold cocked me. I let her have it back." He was a laid back guy and he sounded believable.
Women can be just as violent as men, perhaps more so in my experience. They often think they can take free shots. Men are generally much more restrained.
