Abstract:Legislation against domestic violence is now in discussion; one aspect needs to included is the complex relationship between masculinity and domestic violence. It is masculinity, not all men, that perpetuates domestic violence. Men can also become victims of domestic violence. Legislation against domestic violence should also protect the rights of male victims of domestic violence. It should emphasize reform through education over punishment. Analysis of masculinity serves an important source for such education. It is also important to recognize the influence of the system on perpetrators of violence.
