Our immediate point of comparison is Tyler The Creator, whose Australian tour was cancelled, and was banned from entering the U.K , on the grounds that his music promotes and glorifies violence against women.

Hegemonic Masculinity; Rethinking the Concept, 2005). I will be discussing how positive more peaceful patterns of masculinity need to become the hegemonic form, in order to try and assist in the movement towards less domestic violence, especially toward women.

and about 76% of it was not reported to police. Official crime statistics shows that from 2009 to 2013 a total of 13 women, 10 men and 9 children were killed each year as a result of such pervasive crime. According to a study by Jane Fanslow and Elizabeth Robinson between 33% to 39% of New Zealanders have experienced physical or sexual assault from their intimate partner (Women's refuge, 2015).
