亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)可能会增加，因为父权社会中的妇女被赋予了权力，含蓄或明确地挑战了主流的性别规范。先前的证据表明，妇女赋权和IPV之间存在倒U型关系，在这种关系中，随着更平等的性别规范逐渐得到接受，对妇女的暴力行为先是增加，然后减少。通过专题小组讨论和对孟加拉国10个村庄的男性的深入访谈，本研究探讨了男性对妇女的看法的演变、性别规范以及男性在性别转型背景下实施IPV的合法性。它考察了男性关于女性赋权以及随之而来的男子气概标准变化的往往相互矛盾的叙述，并确定了女性赋权最有可能引发男性反弹的方面。研究结果表明，男性越来越多地接受平等主义的性别规范，他们自我报告的IPV参与度下降，很大程度上是由务实的自我利益驱动的：他们希望改善自己的经济地位，以及对IPV负面后果的恐惧。
Intimate partner violence (IPV) may increase as women in patriarchal societies become empowered, implicitly or explicitly challenging prevailing gender norms. Prior evidence suggests an inverse U-shaped relationship between women’s empowerment and IPV, in which violence against women first increases and then decreases as more egalitarian gender norms gradually gain acceptance. By means of focus-group discussions and in-depth interviews with men in 10 Bangladeshi villages, this study explored men’s evolving views of women, gender norms and the legitimacy of men’s perpetration of IPV in the context of a gender transition. It examines men’s often-contradictory narratives about women’s empowerment and concomitant changes in norms of masculinity, and identifies aspects of women’s empowerment that are most likely to provoke a male backlash. Findings suggest that men’s growing acceptance of egalitarian gender norms and their self-reported decreased engagement in IPV are driven largely by pragmatic self-interest: their desire to improve their economic status and fear of negative consequences of IPV.
