N2  - This conference paper discusses the silencing of women in the context of domestic violence. The author argues that constructions of mutual responsibility - where the woman is assumed to have the same degree of responsibility for the violence as the man - and gender neutral language are a major cause of women remaining silent about abuse. The author claims that a manifestation of this silencing is the fact that many victims do not see domestic violence as a crime. This presentation is the second half of a joint presentation with Nicola Gavey's "Violence Against Women: Beyond Gender Neutrality" (2005)
