“…The present study and an increasing number of other recent studies (e.g., Bates, 2020; Espinoza & Warner, 2016) have acknowledged that men also experience and are harmed by IPV, and thus may benefit from empirical analysis of factors that may influence their experiences in IPV victimization and help-seeking. Specifically, as social perceptions of men who are IPV victims seem linked to men’s help-seeking behaviors (Tsui, 2014), short and long-term health outcomes (Archer, 2000), shame (Cheung et al, 2009), willingness to self-apply the “victim” label (Sinacore et al, 2017), and a host of other important factors (e.g., medico-legal outcomes; De Puy et al, 2017), information regarding the types of judgments made about men who are IPV victims may help decrease stigma, increase awareness and service access, and improve men’s outcomes.…”

Evidence is accumulating that men frequently experience and are harmed by intimate partner violence (IPV), although this form of IPV has only recently been studied. Recent studies suggest that social stereotypes may negatively influence men’s help-seeking and outcomes following IPV. We assessed the third-party perception of a man versus a women who experienced physical and psychological IPV. Using video vignettes of psychological/physical IPV that varied only in the gender of the perpetrator and victim, 168 participants recruited from an online survey platform and a Midwestern private university were randomly assigned to view an interaction depicting either a man or woman IPV victim. Participants rated their emotional response immediately after watching the vignette, followed by perceptions of the IPV victim and perpetrator. Participants reported less negative affect after viewing IPV perpetrated against a man versus against a woman, and male IPV victims were rated as deserving of less sympathy, less in need of medical, psychological, and legal help, and less successful, powerful, and socially desirable than female IPV victims. Post hoc analyses regarding perpetrator criminality and identification of the IPV victim using the “victim” label also differed by IPV victim gender. Our findings suggest that preconceived notions based on gender roles impede the identification of men as victims and likely influence their treatment by friends, medical and mental health care providers, and legal authorities. Further research is needed to inform the unique interpersonal and intrapersonal stereotyping that may explain men’s help-seeking and outcomes in IPV victimization.

“…Common workplace violence victims are newly hired employees, junior nurses, male employees with feminine‐gender expressions, senior staff members close to retirement and workers with different nationalities and races (Salvador et al, 2021). One good example of accommodating sociocultural diversity is the study conducted by Sinacore et al (2021) about men's experiences with gender‐based violence. Men with feminine‐gender expressions are vulnerable individuals commonly victimized by violence.…”

Aim This study aims to investigate the experiences and insights of nurse educators in order to acquire a better understanding of the nature and various factors associated with workplace violence, which could lead to the establishment of future actions and recommendations to eliminate or reduce aggression, abuse, incivility and any other forms of violence in the health sector. Background Workplace violence is one of the social phenomena that have not been fully explored in various settings such as educational institutions and health care facilities. A worker who has experienced violence could provide valuable insights that could help to better understand and sustainably protect an individual, a group or an organization from workplace violence and its unfavourable consequences. Methods Qualitative description is used in this phenomenological study. A total of 18 nurse educators who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled as the study participants in a government university located in the Eastern Region of Saudi Arabia. Purposive sampling method was used in the recruitment. In addition, a semi‐structured interview guide was employed to explore the participants' experiences and insights from February to June 2021. Data were analysed using Colaizzi's methods, and a consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research checklist was utilized to report the study's results. Results The participants' narratives generated three major themes, namely, the ‘Triple‐A’: (1) ‘acquaint’, (2) ‘analyse’ and (3) ‘act’, to better understand workplace violence themes. Conclusion The ‘Triple‐A: Acquaint, analyse, and act’ workplace violence themes can serve as a simple guide to better understand the nature and different factors associated with workplace violence: ‘acquaint’ illustrates self‐awareness; ‘analyse’ pertains to the recognition to possible indications and signals; and ‘act’ depicts an individual's proactiveness and responsiveness to workplace violence and conceivably catalyses the decrease of this social hazard's prevalence. Implication for Nursing Management Leaders and managers in the nursing field should prioritize their participation in developing creative strategies and their implementation of policies to manage and mitigate violence in the workplace, such as initiating ongoing education (acquaint), creating robust procedures for reporting and referral (analyse), establishing support networks, listening to victims' experiences and promoting respect to individual differences (act).

“…Rather, femininity and feminine expressions can be taken up and performed by people across genders and sexualities, thus making femmephobia a prejudice that affects all individuals. The term anti‐femininity is suggestive as language to capture the mistreatment of femininity; however, this term is primarily used to describe a component of traditional masculinity that denigrates femininity in men (Sinacore et al, 2021). It thus fails to encapsulate the other numerous ways that femininity is devalued, and how this devaluation process is co‐constituted by the regulation of patriarchal feminine norms.…”

Critically feminizing family science: Using femme theory to generate novel approaches for the study of families and relationships

How do values, beliefs, and assumptions about femininity shape relational experiences? To answer this question, we critically feminize family science by applying femme theory to the field. Through this analysis, we present some of the ways that femmephobia (i.e., the systematic devaluation and regulation of femininity across all bodies and identities) is established in childhood and perpetuated throughout various relational contexts across the life course. Specifically, we examine how femmephobia is socialized via families, systematically normalized and perpetuated throughout childhood, and how it shapes gender-based violence risk, perpetration, and tactics. We demonstrate how femme theory illuminates the importance of disentangling the intersectional axes of gender, sexuality, and gender expression, thereby generating novel approaches for family and relationship science and interventions that promote systemic social change. Subordinating and regulating femininity affects all individuals, making its disruption of critical importance for the prevention of gender-based violence and the promotion of healthy families and relationships.
