Document Summary
Russel p. dobash, r. emerson dobash, margo wilson, and martin daly: most common myth about gendered violence is that women and men are equally likely to perpetrate it, neither women nor men are angels, so bad behavior by one gender is likely to resemble bad behavior by the either, wife beating the object of widespread public concern and condemnation, violence against wives is often persistent and severe, occurs in the context of continuous intimidation and coercion and is inextricably linked to attempts to dominate and control women, a number of researchers and commentators have suggests that assaults upon men by their wives constitute a social problem comparable in nature and magnitude to that of wife beating, husbands and wives are similarly victimized, self reports of violent acts perpetuated and suffered by survey respondents, especially those in two us national probability samples, us homicide data.
