Abstract

Throughout world history, moles and birthmarks have occupied a special place as omens. Little is known of the cultural beliefs concerning the determinants of coercive control. In this ethnographic study of coercive control in Cambodia, the focus is on popular beliefs that moles are omens portending that men shall control women. Lachrymal moles (under the eye) signify women weeping as a result of misery. Penile moles portend men attracting, controlling, even abusing women. They have implications for reinterpreting an "insider" view of hegemonic masculinity and for culturally responsive interventions against gender-based violence.

纵观世界历史，痣和胎记作为预兆占据着特殊的地位。人们对有关强制控制决定因素的文化信仰知之甚少。在这项关于柬埔寨强制控制的人种学研究中，重点是关于痣是预示男人将控制女人的预兆的流行信仰。泪痣（眼睛下方）预示着妇女因痛苦而哭泣。阴茎痣则预示着男人会吸引、控制甚至虐待女人。这些痣对重新解释 "内行 "的男性霸权观点和针对性别暴力的文化干预都有影响。
