This book section is taken from Adams, P. J., Towns, A., & Gavey, N. (1995). Dominance and entitlement: The rhetoric men use to discuss their violence towards women. Discourse and Society, 1995, 6(3):387-406.(see record #2324). The authors discuss the discourses used by abusive men when explaining their violence towards their female partners and when asserting their dominance over their partners. The research involved qualitative interviews with men, in which they were asked to explain their understanding of women's role in society and within an intimate relationship. The findings outline the metaphors and discourse of 'natural entitlement' employed by the men, in which men were considered to be the head of the family, and had the right to hit or use physical force against women who did not comply with their partner's demands.
