TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Male-male dimensions of male-female battering: A new look at domestic violence JO - Psychology of men and masculinity A1 - Jennings, Jerry L. A1 - Murphy, Christopher M. SP - 21 EP - 29 VL - 1 IS - 1 N2 - The field of domestic violence has concentrated its theories, research, and treatment methods on the male-female dimensions of the problem. However, male-male issues also play a crucial role. The authors explain how traditional male socialization and rigid sex role stereotyping can have emotional and behavioral consequences that are displaced onto male-female relationships. In particular, "humiliation" is a potent and pervasive social mechanism that dominates male psychology, causing multiple problems in male self-esteem and interpersonal relations. Humiliation is the social form of shame and is deeply rooted in the same-sex relations of childhood groups, rituals of passage, and problematic relationships with father figures.
