Introduction
Partner violence is almost exclusively of heterosexual partners, however there is very limited information about prevalence and incidence of partner violence in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered communities. There is a growing evidence to suggests that same-gender partner violence is more common as heterosexual partner violence (Farley, 1996; Renzetti, 1992). The dynamics of these types of violence crimes in the same-sex gender relationships are all too common to heterosexual partner violence (verbal threats, public humiliation, and destruction of property, abuse of children, sexual …show more content…

Domestic Violence In Jackson Katz's Deceived By Jackson Katz

215 Words | 1 Pages

Jackson Katz’s deficient diction portrays a fallacious idea that the majority of the victims of domestic violence are women with ideas that it’s a “men’s issue, and we are at fault” and “men are broken and need to be leaders, receive leadership training, and not sensitivity training.” Multiple empirical studies conclude that ¼ of all relationships have violence, and nonreciprocal violence in a relationship was more than 70%, initiated by females, and only less than 30%, initiated by male. People say that females are more affected as the statistics show that women get the brunt of the damage, but that 's because men are usually stronger and have the ability to inflict that much damage. From this, we can assume that the stereotype that women are

This has been the “typical” outlook on domestic abuse in relationships for centuries.

The common types are physical, emotional, sexual abuse. “Abusers may feel this need to control their partner because of low self-esteem, extreme jealousy, difficulties in regulating anger and other strong emotions, or when they feel inferior to the other partner in education and socioeconomic background” (“What Causes Domestic Violence? By Toby D. Goldsmith, MD”). Physical and sexual abuse are the most heard of and/ or more likely to occur.

Intimate Partner Abuse

211 Words | 1 Pages

Nonsexual physical Intimate Partner Abuse is the tactic most people think of with Intimate Partner Abuse and battered women, including tactics ranging from slapping, shoving, hitting, burning, kicking, and stabbing to shooting, or any other form of nonsexual physical violence. Many research studies, police reports, and so on fail to distinguish between more minor and more serious forms of slapping, shoving, and so on. One force that keeps IPA invisible is that the survivors themselves are often reluctant to define themselves as victims, and might hide, deny, and or/ minimize their partners’ abuse and their own injuries resulting from this abuse, particularly during the early stages of the IPA perpetration. These “unacknowledged victims” are

Honor Based Violence

668 Words | 3 Pages

Based off of this notion, both domestic violence and honor based violence are considered to be “gendered” issues (Standish, 2014). Society never envisions a woman hitting a man, and it never causes nearly as much outcry as when the roles are reversed. While we never imagine those situations to exist, there is truth in that men can also be victimized. With both honor based, as well as domestic violence, there is a minority, which includes underreported male victimization, with less than 1% reporting assaults to the NCVS (Muller, Desmarais, & Hamel, 2009). Part of the reasoning behind its underreporting is there is this fear of not being believed by society, because of an established patriarchal mindset (Muller et al., 2009; Reddy, 2008).

Assault On Campus

1491 Words | 6 Pages

Feminist theory, argues that the basic cause of sexual assault revolves around the nature of gender inequality; that is, gender inequality for all genders, not just males and females. In the focus of feminist theory we analyze patriarchal norms, gender discrimination as well as sexual objectification. The focus of gender as the key cause, is however, flawed. While this theory does explain a large proportion of sexual assaults and cover both distal and proximal variables, it doesn’t fully help explain the largely under researched topics of same-sex assaults and the factor of vulnerability and power. Structural functionalist theory is also a peculiar choice.

Judith Butler's Theory Of Domestic Violence

1580 Words | 7 Pages

Domestic violence is a representation of Judith Butler’s ‘Gender as a Performance’ theory because it embodies the structured power relation amongst genders and how this power influences both individuals involved. The act of domestic violence in heterosexual relationships adversely enforces the identities in which males and females categorize themselves into, based on their gender performance. Domestic violence can be defined as a series of behaviours which are used to assert control over a partner in an intimate relationship (McFeely, Lombard, Burman, Whiting, & McGowan, 2013). Domestic violence is a universally known phenomenon that impacts
