God I hate feminists, they are the ones who cry and complain the most, yet do nothing solid for the advancement of women in society, except become lesbians. Ask her where she got those statistics, how the different studies were conducted, when they were conducted and how the researchers arrived at their reasoning, basically as much about the studies as you can then begin to scrutinize each. Studies results can be easily compiled or interpreted in a particular way and just because one study result suggests something, doesn't mean it is necessarily the universal truth. Personally I have a sneaky feeling that what she says has its basis, but that doesn't mean you can't argue just to annoy her, look at it as a training in debate and critical analysis.
After a quick search, I found this, interesting.

Both women and men benefit from less violent encounters. Both married men and women live longer, although the difference is smaller with women. Both men and women make much more income while married.
