Comments

Hi! I have lived experience of growing up with domestic violence. When I was younger, I used to think it was 'all one way' i.e. gendered (My Dad always abusing my Mum and me - because we were female and the weaker of the 'two' sexes in our household). All of the language used in our house was derogatory about women, and my Dad would openly call us typically gendered names. An example of this is my Dad often referring to my Mum as "ole girl' ,especially when he was angry. Then it used to get really personal and he would use language that really targeted her personally - to make sure it hurt. One of my most violent memories, is actually not physical at all, but verbal (as in verbally abusive). When we sat together to eat a meal, my father would go around the table and 'rank' each family member in order of their intelligence or status in the family. He would always be ranked first, and then my brothers in age order, then me (the eldest of all the children, and the only girl) and lastly, my Mum. It really hurt, but we dare not show it because he was (and still is) a very violent man. This has really stuck with me all of my life (I'm now in my fifties), but I never really stopped to think about why and how it has manifested itself so deeply in my psyche, until one evening when my kids were at the dinner table and really picking on each other. I absolutely lost my temper with them, and sent them all to bed early because they kept arguing about it only being a joke, and insisting on me taking it all too seriously. With retrospect, I was reacting to my father, vicariously through my children .... just 40 years later. My thoughts around this are primarily about the gendered view of violence, what it looks like and what it considered acceptable behaviour for men and women. I note that you mentioned some of the neuroscience behind men's violent behaviour towards women, and I'd like to add some more perspective from my experience. There are so many gendered assumptions that we grow up with that lead us to unconsciously 'understand' or 'make allowances' for domestic violence - particularly male to female violence. But I really think its a combination of many factors including wider societal social rules and patriarchal beliefs that encourage male dominance and female subordination, neuroscientific factors (like hormones levels and neurotransmitters such as dopamine); as well as, other risk factors like intergenerational illness such as alcoholism, early experiences of maladaptive attachment patterns, exposure to deviant behaviours, and personality traits. Any of these factors alone might be enough to produce a violent streak in anybody, but the combination of one and another can be disabling for the entire family unit. I think to explain this, Dutton's (2006) Nested Ecological Model is a good place to start. Check it out at https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0272735811001097, and also Dixon and Kevan's (2018) study on risk factors associated with male perpetration of intimate partner violence, for more info https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21851805/. The info on risk profiles really resonated with me, and is relevant to both yours and my book chapters.--SoSilverLibby (discuss • contribs) 14:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC) Libby--SoSilverLibby (discuss • contribs) 14:16, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

I noticed you only had one external source so i found this article that could be interesting (link here: https://www.verywellmind.com/domestic-abuse-why-do-they-do-it-62639 ). Good luck finishing your chapter :) U3203008 (discuss • contribs)

An empirical explanation for the motivation of domestic violence against women with evidence from Harway & O’Neil(1999) notes that biological explanation of men's violence is due to genetics, brain dysfunction factors, endocrine and neurotransmitter. So early aggressive behaviour is predicted in later aggressive acts including physical aggression, criminal behaviour, spouse or child abuse. Other associations of motivating behaviour explained (Yllo, 2001) and (O'NEIL & HARWAY, 1997) is alcohol abuse, coercive communication and anger expression.--SihTosam (discuss • contribs) --SihTosam (discuss • contribs) 08:46, 25 August 2021 (UTC)
