Abstract

“I have never had a case that involved a female perpetrator of coercive control, and no such cases are documented in the literature” (Stark, 2007, p. 377). Stark's observation has become somewhat of a “truism” in the wider debate surrounding coercive control. Yet simultaneously coercive control is asserted as a gendered process, understandings of which appear to have elided and conflated victimhood and perpetration with femininity and masculinity. The purpose of this paper, based on empirical data, is to unpick some of these elisions and conflations and offer a more nuanced understanding of these debates using the lens of hegemonic masculinity. This paper is based on data derived from a national online survey conducted in Australia in 2021. The aim of this paper is to explore, and better understand male reported experiences of coercive control victimisation. The survey was completed by 1261 people, 206 (17%) of whom identified as men. These 206 responses are the focus of this paper. Representing one of the most comprehensive studies of men's self-reported experiences of coercive control, this survey data provides some insight into how male victim-survivors define and understand what they considered to be their experiences of coercive control. The findings provide an opportunity to offer a more nuanced appreciation of men's experiences of being in control, out of control or losing control.
处于控制、失控还是失控?从霸权男子气概的视角解读男性被强制控制的经历
“我从未遇到过涉及女性实施强制控制的案件,文献中也没有此类案件的记录”(Stark,2007,第377页)。在围绕强制控制的更广泛辩论中,斯塔克的观察在某种程度上已经成为“真理”。然而,与此同时,强制控制被认为是一个性别化的过程,对这一过程的理解似乎忽略了受害者身份和犯罪行为,并将其与女性气质和男性气质混为一谈。本文的目的是基于实证数据,解开其中的一些省略和混淆,并利用霸权男子气概的视角对这些辩论进行更细致的理解。本文基于2021年在澳大利亚进行的一项全国在线调查的数据。本文的目的是探索并更好地理解男性报告的强制控制受害经历。这项调查由1261人完成,其中206人(17%)被确认为男性。这206条回复是本文的重点。这项调查数据代表了对男性自我报告的强制控制经历的最全面的研究之一,为男性受害者幸存者如何定义和理解他们认为的强制控制体验提供了一些见解。这些发现提供了一个机会,可以更细致地了解男性控制、失控或失去控制的经历。
