During this interview session we discussed what would be done in order to transform the meaning of masculinity so that it is no longer equated with violence in our society. My interviewee stated that perhaps there needs to be a feminine aspect to violence. To highlight her point she gives an example - The interviewee has a cousin who dated a man who was in a abusive relationship with another woman prior. According to the interviewee the male was legitimately abused physically and mentally to the point where the male was fearful. It's not just men that are being violent in contemporary society - there is no equality that exists, rather there is a polar shift. Interviewee elaborates that violence against men are more prevalent because men deem reporting their abuse as emasculating.
