Motivation

- Male and female IPV perpetrated from similar motives – primarily to get back at a partner for emotionally hurting them, because of stress or jealousy, to express anger and other feelings that they could not put into words or communicate, and to get their partner’s attention.
- Eight studies directly compared men and women in the power/control motive and subjected their findings to statistical analyses. Three reported no significant gender differences and one had mixed findings. One paper found that women were more motivated to perpetrate violence as a result of power/control than were men, and three found that men were more motivated; however, gender differences were weak
- Of the ten papers containing gender-specific statistical analyses, five indicated that women were significantly more likely to report self-defense as a motive for perpetration than men. Four papers did not find statistically significant gender differences, and one paper reported that men were more likely to report this motive than women. Authors point out that it might be particularly difficult for highly masculine males to admit to perpetrating violence in self-defense, as this admission implies vulnerability.
- Self-defense was endorsed in most samples by only a minority of respondents, male and female. For non-perpetrator samples, the rates of self-defense reported by men ranged from 0% to 21%, and for women the range was 5% to 35%. The highest rates of reported self-defense motives (50% for men, 65.4% for women) came from samples of perpetrators, who may have reasons to overestimate this motive.
- None of the studies reported that anger/retaliation was significantly more of a motive for men than women’s violence; instead, two papers indicated that anger was more likely to be a motive for women’s violence as compared to men.
- Jealousy/partner cheating seems to be a motive to perpetrate violence for both men and women.

I'd also recommend the annotated bibligraphy Jay referenced earlier http://www.csulb.edu/~mfiebert/assault.htm to get an idea of the coverage.

Dear RObert,

It is unfortunate that this issue has contributed
to a highly politicised and adverserial context
in which men and women's experiences of violence
are placed in competition with each other.
Because the development of effective responses will
be based on a better understanding of the complexities of
each form of victimisation.

Thanks for the links and I earmarked the bibliography.

Education is the key to this issue as well as publicity,
lobbying, and forming pressure groups, to get the message
across.

Kat,

If the women did't expect the men to take the bigger animals sometimes the men would only be nuisances in camp, doing nothing and expecting everything to be done for them. They would have invented a lounge couch but then they would have had to carry it.

The men don't mind hunting though because it gives them distance and silence from the women.

The men say the women are better cooks.

Is any of that sounding familiar?

Foxy,
Yes, you're right...but...
Ideological Feminists are an extremely violent bunch in their own right but they have the power and connections to bring in all manner of Left Wing and Anarchist thugs, goons and bruisers to shut down any group which contradicts their message.
In the U.S and Canada pretty much every meeting which has so far been organised to discuss gender issues outside the parameter of the Feminist critique has been picketed or attacked, aside from the violence and intimidation the favoured tactic is repeatedly setting off the fire alarms in the meeting area so that the building must be evacuated.
Would you go to a meeting to talk about DV if this was what you'd face upon arrival?

Try reversing the genders. There will be howls of outrage and tub-thumping.

Men and women deserve equality. Some people offend, not 'men'. Some people are victims, not just 'women'.

Must be money and careers in it, eh? Taxpayers' money and heaps of it.
