However, just to be clear, I think I do have the right when it comes to violence to quote any academic or statutory research and inform that just 80% of violence against women is perpetrated by men- so, no in this instance, women and men would not be the same.

Suspended sentence & retention of job and that was after a not guilty plea. So yes it would appear it is acceptable
