Violence towards Women..

I think men show violence towards women because they don’t want women to be considered equal to them. They want to have the upper hand. They want to always be in control and when they aren’t they seek other ways to control their anger, sometimes by violence. By definition, domestic violence is a pattern of abusive and threatening behaviors that may include physical, emotional, economic and sexual violence as well as intimidation, isolation and coercion. The purpose of domestic violence is to establish and exert power and control over another; men most often use it against their intimate partners, which can include current or former spouses, girlfriends, or dating partners.

The United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women describes violence against women as “a manifestation of historically unequal power relationships between men and women.” At the same time, violence is used to perpetuate and enforce women’s subordinate role. In the Declaration on the Elimination of Violence against Women, the United Nations and its member countries denounce domestic violence as one of the “crucial social mechanisms by which women are forced into subordinate [positions] compared with men.”

Some men just don’t understand that women can have good jobs, be the primary care provider for the family, and still have a stable relationship with their spouse without violence occurring. Just because a woman may have a better paying job doesn’t mean that a man should get offended and take their anger, frustration and depression out on them. Learn to accept equality. Everyone should be treated the same regardless of gender or race.
