ATIXA Position Statement on the Neurobiology of Trauma.

The Fiebert Bibliography. Professor Martin Fiebert is a professor at California State University. He maintains a bibliography that, as of the last tally, contains “344 scholarly investigations; 271 empirical studies and 73 reviews and/or analyses, which demonstrate that women are as physically aggressive, or more aggressive, than men in their relationships with their spouses or male partners. The aggregate sample size in the reviewed studies exceeds 448,850.” This bibliography is powerful counter-evidence to the narrative by gender ideologues and activists that intimate partner violence and abuse are overwhelmingly male-on-female phenomena.
