Why do news headlines report abusive women under the 'weird' or 'odd' sections?

When research repeatedly confirms what most people know - that women and men commit d/v roughly 50/50?

So, if men abusing women (and men abusing men, and women abusing women) is listed under, let's say "local", why would they list female on male abuse as weird/odd?


Doesn't this further promote false stereotypes of women as unlikely to commit d/v, when in reality they're just as likely as men?
