Once again because we don't punish women for violence. Domestic abuse statistics bear this out, where lesbian relationships have the highest rates of abuse and men are punished in DV situations when it's mutual or they are the primary/exclusive victims.
Now you could argue that women's violence is generally less harmful therefor punishing them to the same degree as men would be somehow unjust, and if the state didn't so often and so strongly protect women from the consequences of their own actions, you'd probably be right. But that's not how things work in the west right now.
It’s like the car accident stat (atleast that immediately comes to mind): women are more likely to be in a car accident (DV which escalated to police being called, probably because they instantly resort to screaming and have zero conflict resolution skills, as opposed to the idea they’re one side eye away from beating her silly) but not a fatal car accident (because when a man loses his temper with someone half his size it can go very wrong very quick, even if the total number of per capita incidents might be lower than with two lesbians)
