“…The legal condemnation of complex social issues such as violence against women may raise social consciousness but it does not address or tackle their socio-structural causes (Snider, 1998). As such, naming and criminalising stalking does not necessarily entail the change of patriarchal and victim-blaming socio-cultural beliefs and attitudes that often underline and sustain the perpetration of this form of interpersonal abuse.…”

“…Drawing on poststructural understandings of the relational nature of power, Canadian feminism's successes flow from its willingness and ability to "rethink" (Dobash & Dobash, 2004) and reconstitute its political subjectivity and self-presentation in ways that reflect the repudiation of power and control that is central to what feminism espouses (Snider, 1998;Taylor & Rupp, 2002). In Canada and beyond, feminism has struggled to work out divisions and differences within and across theoretical, governmental, and other divides, listening to the diversity of women's voices and concerns (Burgess-Proctor, 2006;Potter, 2006).…”

This article examines government and advocacy group texts on three recent Canadian domestic violence policy moments. Drawing on governance, feminist poststructuralist, and social movement perspectives, it examines men's rights advocates' and feminists' discursive actions and their influence on officials. The research aim is to explore the provisional, intrinsically incomplete, and indeed questionable success, to date, of Canadian anti-domestic violence advocates' strategies and tactics of resisting men's advocates' efforts to delegitimize gendered constructions of domestic violence. At the level of political action, the article contributes to efforts by feminists internationally to safeguard protections and supports for abused women and children in a political context marked by the increasingly prominent influence of men's rights and associated antiprogressive backlash.

The aims of this study are threefold: (1) to illustrate an institutionalization process of hegemonic masculinity, (2) to show how this process can be applied to rape incidents in South Korea, and (3) to suggest what needs to be done in the future. Based on previous studies of hegemonic masculinity, this study first sets the stage by illustrating how the isomorphism with hegemonic masculinity is achieved and maintained through culturalization and institutionalization among male soldiers. Based on this theoretical framework, this study shows limitations in the traditional approach to military crime, and then applies the current framework to explain higher rate of rape incidents committed by United States Army personnel stationed in South Korea. Finally, this study suggests what needs to be done in terms of empirical investigation of military rape in different countries. This study concludes that the institutionalized hegemonic masculinity and the reproduction of masculine organizations are possible major contributing factors to the higher rate of rape incidents.
