Real
Time Death Toll as of
Characteristics of Callers to the Domestic Abuse Helpline for
Men.
Intimate partner violence (IPV) by women against men has been the
subject of much debate. Feminists typically argue that IPV is
committed only by men against women. Others argue that violence is a
human problem and women also commit much IPV. To resolve these
debates, IPV has been classified into two categories: common couple
violence captured by population-based studies, and patriarchal
terrorism, captured by studies of battered women. This typology
ignores male victims of extreme IPV. The current study addresses this
omission by describing 190 male callers to the Domestic Abuse
Helpline for Men. All callers experienced physical abuse from their
female partners, and a substantial minority feared their wives’
violence and were stalked. Over 90% experienced controlling
behaviors, and several men reported frustrating experiences with the
domestic violence system. Callers’ reports indicated that their
female abusers had a history of trauma, alcohol/drug problems, mental
illness, and homicidal and suicidal ideations.
