    After reading "violence in intimate relationships: a feminist perspective" there are some harsh realities that some women do not want to face when they are or may be in a abusive relationship. Women face being labeled as a "battered woman" someone who has lost their morals or values to even stay with a male who is abusive towards them. I believe it is hard for women to leave a abusive relationship because they are scared especially if the abuse has been going on for years. I've seen a lot of movies based on women being abused by their significant other and from those movies i got that the woman has to at some point build this determination to leave that abusive relationship. Furthermore the woman has to feel like she has someone to turn to…

    Charlotte Perkins Gilman does a remarkable job letting readers get inside the head of her unnamed main character in “The Yellow Wallpaper” giving us a taste of the female psyche, in particular showing how some women are so heavily influenced by the treatment of the middle class wife and her submissive role. Alternatively, Nick Hornby does something altogether similar with “High Fidelity”, introducing us to Rob Fleming, whose male psyche reveals, among other things, how some men judge themselves based on the societal image of a successful, dominant man. Rob Fleming, however, proves to be the exact opposite of the idealized image of a man, and possesses a rather feminine psyche. In the paragraphs that follow, I will attempt to compare and contrast…

    Interpersonal violence against women is endemic in our society. Thus, it is estimated that 14% to 20% of women will experience rape at some point in their lives; that 25% to 28% will be physically abused in a sexual-romantic relationship; and that 8% to 24% will be stalked by someone they know or by a stranger. When these statistics are added to the 25% to 35% likelihood that the average adult woman has been sexually abused as a child, it is clear that the epidemiology of interpersonal violence against women is a pressing social issue (Briere & Jordan, 2004). Equally concerning is the association between these various forms of victimization and mental health issues in women. Female survivors of sexual trauma are vulnerable to a wide range of…

    However, even as lopsided the numbers are for domestic violence against men and women, the cases of men being victims are far too underreported, even for their lowered percentage, which, in truth, is far higher than the rumored ‘5%’. Large scale studies, done over several years by the National Institute of Justice and and the Center of Disease Control in America, Canada, and the UK state that, “Men were the victims of DV 38-50% of the time..” and “...835,000 men are the victims of domestic violence each year” (MenWeb). Even with the number of female victims being 1.5 million, 835,00 men a year is not very far behind and is tragic in itself.

    While IPV does affect both genders, it is statistically proven that women are affected by physical, sexual, psychological, and stalking victimization more so than men.
