Sorry, fixing my comment, I posted the wrong link and didn't include any commentary.
So, I've heard this before and I was curious about it so I looked into it and here's what I found. While the statement itself may be true, it's based on problematic data and omits important information.
Data problem:
"The Encyclopedia of Victimology and Crime Prevention states, "For several methodological reasons – nonrandom sampling procedures and self-selection factors, among others – it is not possible to assess the extent of same-sex domestic violence. Studies on abuse between gay male or lesbian partners usually rely on small convenience samples such as lesbian or gay male members of an association"
"Men and women both contribute to the prevalence of IPV among sexual minority women. For
example, the CDC found that 89.5% of bisexual women reported only male perpetrators of intimate
partner physical violence, rape, and/or stalking and that almost a third of lesbian women who have
experienced such incidents have had one or more male perpetrators."
So, the statistics are questionable but if you're going to use them anyway, it's disingenuous to omit the "fact" of the staggeringly high number of bisexual and lesbian women who are apparently victims of men.
IIN for women to take advantage of friends?

Apparently lesbians have the higher statistics of domestic violence than any other group, funnily enough...Although it's not that funny.
