Violence against men in the context of romantic relationships

Abstract

One might think that violence against men has certain scenarios, which justify it, one of these is war, where confrontation in one way or another is understandable,
perhaps even ends up being acceptable, according to the reasons that are put forward. But the context of aggression, within love life, is lived by men in a strange, exotic way and often ends up being the object of ridicule, because it is a distortion of the imaginaries, about virility, strength, insensitivity, and all the pressures that the social set demands of it. Hence, at the moment, when a male victim dares to denounce some type of violence against him, committed by his partner is seen with a certain distrust; and does not receive all the protection, measures, and attention of Amparo, as if it were received by the female victim. This legal panorama is the expression, of the portentous patriarchal tradition of collective life, of how, as social beings inserted in a culture, we interact.
