这项研究利用报纸数据来研究孟加拉国的暴力男性如何通过暴力行为来验证自己作为男性的身份。此前关于孟加拉国暴力侵害妇女行为的研究是基于农村地区或大城市经济上处于不利地位的妻子。将巴特勒（1990）的性别表现理论和康奈尔（1995）的霸权男性气质思想系统地应用于孟加拉国针对妇女的暴力行为的经验数据是罕见的。通过应用这些框架，我发现在一个提倡暴力侵害妇女行为的社会中，暴力男性可以将此类行为作为最光荣的男人方式。我解释说，霸权性别规范与虐待妻子有关，并认为性别和年龄的交叉似乎对针对妇女的暴力行为产生了深远的影响，而与其他结构性不平等无关。 (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
This study uses newspaper data to examine how violent men of Bangladesh validate their identity as men through their acts of violence. Prior research on violence against women in Bangladesh was based on economically disadvantaged wives in rural areas or megacities. Systematic applications of Butler's (1990) gender performativity theory and Connell's (1995) hegemonic masculinity idea to empirical data on violence against women in Bangladesh are rare. By applying these frameworks, I find that in a society that promotes violence against women violent men can use such acts as the most honorable way of being men. I explain that hegemonic gender norms relate to wife abuse, and suggest that the intersection of gender and age has seemingly had profound effects on violence against women, independent of other structural inequalities.
