Overwhelmingly it is men who stalk, harass, beat, rape and murder their partners and exes but there isn't a special term for them. Women get labelled as bunny boilers even if their only crime is having a few demands and expectations in a relationship.
It reminds me of the anger I felt at the sentencing of Paul Keene for the killing of Carmen Gabriela Miron Buchacra.

A man can be recorded mercilessly killing his partner and she can still be branded the abusive one for the heinous crime of being more educated than him and expected him to spend time with his new baby instead of going on all-day benders.
The term just gets to me because I feel like it deflects from the truth. Every time I hear a man call a woman a 'bunny boiler' I just want to grab him by the lapels and say 'When women murder their partners at the same rate as men then you get to use those words'.
