In some households there are certain men who are abusive to females and their family. Most men who are abusive in their householder are abusive to maintain their dominance. In addition there are many other factors towards why men are abusive towards females. A key factor could be jealousy. A man could see another man with his wife or girlfriend and could immediately become angry and abusive towards his wife. Others are a lot more disturbing than other. In an interview with Oprah a man who abused his wife stated: "I had every intention to take her life. I felt like I had power and control over something in my life,". Here it is evident that this man wanted to maintain his dominance and masculinity by abusing his wife. He found enjoyment in beating her continuously. Moreover, the fear that his wife produced because of these beatings made her neglect him thus causing him to abuse her even more as she showed no signs in being intimate with him or even having sex with him. So men may also be abusive if they are being ignored and wanting attention. Other reasons why men are violent include that they want to control their wives or families. Some even believe that they have the right to act any way they please within their respected household and that all 'real' men should be tough and powerful. Other factors towards their violence may even include stress and alcohol but often times these factors are seen as excuses. Men may even be abusive because of the influence they have had in their past. Some men may have grown up in a abusive household thus influencing their overall character and how they treat women and those around them. The fact that they even come from lower socioeconomic groups could cause for their abusiveness as well although this reason is a small fraction of why men are abusive towards females.
