Cause and Effect – after working close with about 00 abusive men, they found that the reason for abuse and the mistreat toward their female partners was to gain power and control. – since society portrayed that the male population was dominant, the young male population remove themselves from their mothers and act more masculine because of that influence from the role models of today. – Another reason for dominance, aggression and violence is that it gives the results they are looking for – Because of the fear of being ” walked over”, or losing control is another reason for dominance Compare and Contrast- foolish for us to think that the only abusive men need to be controlled – the discrimination against men is like the discrimination of racism.

3. Blueprint Thesis- social expectations of males put pressure on young boys to suppress so called “feminine” qualities such as emotion, paired with society’s misogynistic attitudes, this causes many young men to develop low self esteem because they view themselves as possessive inferior” female qualities”. The solution employed by some men is to abuse and dominate their female partners so that they can gain a sense of power.
