When a man abuses a woman, the man needs to undergo a shaming and be taught to realize that he attacked purely based off of his urges for violence as a male and if a women abuses a man, the victim is to blame.

can be identified within the problems of domestic violence, stalking, child-to-mother violence, and child sexual abuse. Many versions of these crimes involve domestic settings and therefore involves family members, causing many of the incidents to remain in private.
