“…In general, women in their relationships with a partner are usually victims of a combination of violence. So, it seems difficult to separate the different dimensions of violence [ 36 ]. In this study women explained that they had low power and authority for decision making in their life issues.…”

Background Violence against women is a major, complex, multidimensional and widespread public health concern worldwide. The current qualitative study was conducted to understand the experience of violence among HIV negative married women in heterosexual serodiscordant relationships. Methods A qualitative description (QD) was conducted from October 2018 to January 2020 in Mashhad, Iran. The participants were 15 HIV negative women, who married and lived with HIV positive men, through purposive sampling method. The data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Data analyzed using conventional content analysis adopted by Graneheim and Lundman. Results The main overarching theme emerged entitled: life loaded with threat and vulnerability. This theme consisted of four categories of self-directed violence, intimate partner violence, cultural violence and structural violence. The violence began soon after awareness of husband's infection with acts such as suicide attempts and a sense of abhorrence for living with an infected person, and continued with confrontation with various types of violence in the family and society, which put women in constant threat and vulnerability. Conclusions This study provided an insight into different aspects of violence in Iranian women in HIV serodiscordant relationships. Considering the role of men in the occurrence of violence, policymakers must create and execute family-centered interventions to address attitudes and behaviors that lead to marital conflicts and spousal abuse in order to prevent violence. Health care professionals should also be trained to screen women for violence and refer those who require care to specialists to reduce vulnerability.

“…Despite its cultural prevalence, sociologists rarely examine bitchifying as a social process—although lessons can be distilled from research with examples embedded in other analytic stories. In heterosexual relationships, men call women bitches when they batter them (Weiss 2004) or punish them for refusing sexual advances (Pickens and Braun 2018). Some women deferentially cede relational power to men to avoid bitchification (Tichenor 2005).…”

Bitchifying Hillary: Trump Supporters’ Vilification of Clinton during the 2016 Presidential Election

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Based on fieldwork and interviews during the run-up to the 2016 election, we examine how Trump supporters vilified Hillary Clinton as a bitch. We first analyze how Trump rally attendees collaborated to bitchify Clinton (e.g., through displays, chants, speaker–audience exchanges) in ways that fostered emotional bonding, a politically incorrect situational definition, and shared identities as Trump supporters. We then examine how interviewees constructed narratives that more subtly rooted her alleged posturing for power, profiteering, and evading justice in her bitch-like personality. To distinguish between explicit bitchifying—which was common at the rallies—and implicit characterization—which was common during the formal interviews—we develop the concept of “bitch-whistling,” which frames but not names women as bitches. We conclude by exploring how this study contributes to understanding Trump’s 2016 victory, research on gender and politics, and political narratives more generally.

“…Reempowerment is a goal for counseling with a battered woman, beginning with supportive statements that validate her perceptions and experiences, such as "Many women experience physical assault from partners"; "Such assaults may lead to a range of physical and psychological symptoms"; "Such assaults are illegal and inappropriate"; and "A variety of resources exist to help such women." I give the client a reading list of my favorite self-help books on domestic violence (Dugan & Hock, 2000;Jones & Schechter, 1992;Weiss, 2004;Weldon, 1999). To a teen, I recommend the book by Levy (1993).…”
