Domestic Violence Test GuideHow and why is violence by men against women and women against men different (in
terms of type, frequency, severity, and purpose)? How does Johnson explain these
differences? - answer-more common that men are the abuser and women are the
abused, men participate in the majority of intimate terrorism while women's most
common type is situational couple violence
-female violence is situational, rooted in the events of a particular situation rather than a
relationship-wide attempt to control
-type of violence isn't rooted in motives for incident but in general patterns of power and
control
Discuss how gender and control, and the intersection between the two, can be used to
understand the nature and extent of sexual violence, and why it goes unreported, for
women and men? - answer-when a man rapes his wife because it is her "wifely duty" to
submit, this entitlement is deeply gendered
-masculinity is connected to power and control
-femininity is connected to being passive
-male privilege and gender constructs give them the idea that they should have
authority, use violence to reinforce their dominance and create a system of power and
control that isolates and intimidates the women they abuse so they have no ability to
escape an abusive situation
-women are scared to report violence for fear that their attacker will get worse in the
next confrontation, also may depend on attacker financially for resources
Discuss the social factors that help explain why victims (men and women) do not report
domestic violence and/or leave the situation. How are these reasons associated with
the construction and doing of gender in our society? - answer-men do not want to be
seen as weak: if they report abuse they won't seem masculine
-women have trouble reporting because men are powerful, they are scared
-if you report the economic provider and they are taken away then the abused is stuck
without money
