| Abstract | Men’s violence against women is a widespread problem across cultures, socioeconomic groups, and religions. Although most men are not violent, most violent offenders are men. Violence against women is the product of masculine socialization, individual pathology, sexism, peer support, cultural beliefs, media influences, and other sources of power imbalances between the sexes, most notably economic inequality. There is a strong tendency for both men and women to blame victims of interpersonal violence for their own suffering, and this widespread attribution of responsibility for violence to the victim is reflected in the low allocation of resources to managing the problem compared with situations like terrorism, where the violence is attributed to the offender. As inequality between the sexes erodes, so will gender-based violence. |
