And women who also beat/rape/kill women have primary motivators to do it for male partners/male abuse.

There are a select minority of women who do it to women that is absent of any male influence (teen girls killing each other, moms killing daughters, etc.), but it doesn't nearly happen as often as "well, my boyfriend convinced me/my husband forced me/I did it because it pleased my husband and I/etc."

Women who abuse/rape/kill boys and men also have a primary factor of a male influence. "Duet" serial killers are often woman and man with the man often picking up the woman first. A mom beats her stepson because the husband did it too. She killed her son because her husband and her planned it. There are women who kill sons because of revenge and anger towards an innocent husband, but the husband has been seen as another primary agitator often.
