Why do men commit more crimes? Why are women often the victims of these crimes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Society and the media often blame male violence in the US on factors such as the ease of acquiring firearms, economic difficulties and class struggles, and issues that affect the brain. However, Rebecca Solnit notes these factors affect men and women equally\u2014yet men commit 90% of the nation\u2019s murders.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn the origins of male-on-female violence in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Where Does Male-on-Female Violence Come From?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why do men commit more crimes than women? Solnit explains that the true source of male violence is the authoritarian belief that men have the right to control women. This includes a sense of entitlement\u2014the feeling that a man has the right to harm a woman for any reason he wants.<\/strong> Often, the reason a man chooses to harm a woman is because she rejects him romantically or sexually. A man who subconsciously believes he has more right to a woman\u2019s body than she does will often respond violently when she denies him access to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Solnit\u2019s suggestion that male violence stems from men\u2019s belief that they have the right to control women aligns with the idea that rape is about power, not sex<\/a>. Some experts say that while sexual rejection may be what triggers<\/em> a man\u2019s violence in the moment, the denial of power <\/em>is what motivates<\/em> it. The fact that rape and sexual violence simply don\u2019t happen in many matriarchal societies<\/a>\u2014even though men in matriarchal societies certainly experience sexual urges\u2014supports this conclusion. On the other hand, in patriarchal societies like the US, we find things like the incel movement<\/a>, a movement founded on the belief that women owe men sex and that denying sex is a form of violent oppression<\/em>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenging the Patriarchy: Marriage Equality<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Solnit, traditional marriage and legal structures also help enable violence against women<\/strong>. Until recently, marriage was a legal contract that essentially made a woman the property of her husband. This unequal power dynamic rendered wives legally powerless against their husbands, facilitating domestic abuse, sexual abuse, and financial abuse (since husbands had control over their wives\u2019 income and possessions). This power structure relies on the difference in status that deems women inferior to men. As such, the idea of a man marrying a man or a woman marrying a woman posed a threat to this type of legally sanctioned violence\u2014hence the opposition from some people against marriage equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Not only did traditional marriage historically create<\/em> an unequal power dynamic, but it also trapped<\/em> women in it: Until the 1960s and 1970s, women couldn\u2019t seek a divorce<\/a> unless they could prove that their husband had done something wrong (like adultery or abandonment). Women who were unable to prove fault sometimes resorted to murder or suicide<\/a> as the only way to get out of bad marriages. Accordingly, suicide and homicide rates for wives decreased after states legalized no-fault divorce. However, like marriage equality, many view no-fault divorce as a threat to traditional marriage, and some groups are taking steps to try to revoke people\u2019s right to it<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solnit argues that the opposition to same-sex marriage illustrates a drive to maintain the power discrepancy between a man and a woman in a traditional marriage<\/strong>. Opponents suggest that it\u2019s a threat to traditional marriage\u2019s objective of procreation. However, Solnit points out that many heterosexual couples choose not to have children or are unable to conceive, yet their marriages are still considered valid. This suggests that the argument that same-sex marriage is a threat to traditional marriage\u2019s procreative purpose is a smokescreen\u2014hiding same-sex marriage opponents\u2019 real<\/em> fear of the destruction of traditional power imbalances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Solnit\u2019s description of marriage equality\u2019s impact on the patriarchy demonstrates how sexism can harm not only women but also some men\u2014namely, gay men. However, misogyny also fuels oppression against LGBTQ people<\/a> in general. The patriarchy relies on strict gender division to oppress women, so anyone who defies these divisions\u2014including gay, trans, intersex, and nonbinary people\u2014threatens the patriarchy. This is why, historically, gender equality has been closely tied to LGBTQ rights<\/a>. This is also why some people suggest that feminism doesn\u2019t just encompass equality for women, but that it represents a movement for equality for all<\/em> people\u2014often referred to as intersectional feminism<\/a>.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
