How do gender roles affect the public perception of domestic abuse incidents?
from The Scoot Show with Scoot
When we talk about domestic violence, we usually picture a male abuser and a female victim, but what about the cases that don’t fit that narrative? Reality TV star Taylor Frankie Paul's season of "The Bachelorette" got yanked after an absolutely horrid video dropped of her abusing her male partner and their kid. How often does female-on-male abuse actually happen, and why don’t we hear about it? Are male victims taken seriously, or do stigma and stereotypes keep them silent? If a man says he’s being abused, how do you react? Do you believe him, or does something about that still feel hard to accept? Leah M. Forney, "The Culture Doctor," joins Ian Hoch to have a serious discussion of gender roles in the perception of domestic abuse.
