3.1. From Visible to Invisible Violence
3.1.1. Physical Violence
“Physical violence is perhaps the most obvious one, meaning the easiest to recognize—like actual physical abuse, hitting, punching, etc.”(P1, F)
“All those actions that involve hitting the other person, or even just grabbing them forcefully by the wrists, pulling their hair… basically anything that causes physical harm.”(P30, M)
3.1.2. Psychological Violence
“harder to recognize and, in my opinion, harder to stop.”(P5, F)
“But I perceive control in that way—when someone tries to impose their will on you.”(P9, M)
“Another form of violence is definitely negative comments that serve no constructive purpose and only make you more and more submissive to the other person.”(P12, F)
“It often happens that one man tells another, ‘You’re a girl, you’re acting like a little girl’ to demean him.”(P5, F)
“Gender-based violence occurs when a man or a woman takes advantage of their role to inflict psychological harm.”(P30, M)
“In my opinion, gender-based violence also includes psychological aspects—words, phrases—and it affects all genders. It’s not something exclusive to just one gender.”(P23, F)
3.1.3. Homophobic Violence
“It happened while I was with my boyfriend in a public place, somewhere relatively calm. Someone approached us and started yelling aggressively.”(P9, M)
3.1.4. Socio-Economic Violence
“In many families, the husband is the one who provides for the household, and this makes the woman dependent on him in every aspect.”(P25, M)
“Many women don’t have money of their own; they often have to share finances with a man, which means they cannot achieve economic independence.”(P19, F)
“I know that, nowadays, in Italy, there is still a great disparity between men and women when it comes to salary.”(P19, F)
“In many households, it’s still expected that the woman does the cooking, but all the top chefs are men.”(P21, F)
3.1.5. Online Violence
“Then we have digital violence, like stalking, cyberbullying.”(P33, F)
“There are now quite a few videos circulating on these topics, and when the comments are opened, some of them are really disturbing on social media.”(P39, F)
3.2. The Causality of Gender-Based Violence: Temperament or Stereotype?
3.2.1. Individual Predisposition
“At its core, there must always be a predisposition in the individual towards certain behaviors: it’s rare that someone who commits gender-based violence isn’t someone who already exhibits these behaviors in other contexts.”(P30, M)
“Aggressiveness, in the sense of acting impulsively, letting go of inhibitions, without taking a breath and acting impulsively, hitting a vulnerable part consciously, in other words, being aggressive in the context of gender in a deliberate way, essentially fueling that asymmetry.”(P18, F)
“I think about this difference that often exists biologically between men and women, where unfortunately, a woman is usually less physically strong than a man.”(P15, F)
“There are people who, when faced with unpleasant situations, want to reflect that pain onto the one who caused it, so it becomes a sort of revenge.”(P29, M)
“There are more emotional causes, for example, many men commit physical violence and some even end up killing their partner because of jealousy.”(P25, M)
“He doesn’t want his partner to go out with friends or other people because he’s afraid of abandonment.”(P33, F)
“It starts from envy, and then that idea transforms into a kind of hatred toward another person. Perhaps from that step of hatred, true violence develops. Maybe in the beginning, it’s just envy, control, and a bit of jealousy linked to envy.”(P3, M)
“Probably the subtypes of violence stem from psychological problems in the male figure, who may have a need for control.”(P4, F)
“In certain situations, stress and patience can exceed a limit, and it becomes difficult to remain the same way: I consider myself a calm and composed person, but there are times when my patience exceeds its limit, and it’s hard to stay calm and collected as I always have been.”(P29, M)
“Those who commit violence, in general, always have an inner fracture… they may have had a difficult past, some dark motivations for what they do.”(P28, M)
“There may also be some unresolved trauma, perhaps sexual trauma. I think unresolved trauma in early age can resurface as hatred toward other genders.”(P22, F)
3.2.2. Socio-Cultural Causes
“When growing up, there’s always the belief that there is a dominant role, especially in culture, which only creates the male.”(P10, F)
“Male feel more powerful than the woman and therefore feels free to treat her in a certain way”(P16, F)
“It could be that the male actually feels inferior to the female, and this leads him to various forms of violence, up to femicide.”(P16, F)
“For example, my boyfriend has a brother and a sister, and when it’s time to do the dishes, it’s always the sister who’s asked. But when there’s work that requires more strength—though not too much, so a girl can easily do it—the boy is called. I think this is something built by society.”(P11, F)
“It’s precisely because we’re talking about an imbalance in roles. Often, women are seen as a sort of weak form in the eyes of men, and so I see it as an imbalance within these contexts, both social and work-related. I saw this in my boyfriend’s family because his mother quit her job to take care of the child, more out of economic necessity, of course, but also because she has to take care of the house, cook, and clean.”(P4, F)
“He also expected certain things from me that I wasn’t ready to give him, but not in a bad way. I mean, he’s truly a good person, very calm, but he grew up with expectations about how the sexual life should be, which traumatized me somewhat in that regard.”(P5, F)
“We women are much more sensitive to emotions, and so when faced with a violent man or a violent person, we try to focus on the positive aspects. This doesn’t mean we are weak, but this behavior can work against us, as a man may exploit our vulnerability.”(P12, F)
“One can contribute to violence simply by remaining silent, because silence means doing nothing, and I am convinced that neutrality means siding with the oppressor in many situations, if not all.”(P24, F)
“Not only from those who commit it, but also from those who justify it. Failing to give it the attention it deserves.”(P38, F)
3.3. Using of Social Media as a Tool for Building Relationships or Perpetrating Violence
“Reflecting on it, when using social media, any application, or in general, when you’re there talking, in the end, it’s different, but it’s simply a means to simplify an encounter.”(P8, M)
“I don’t know, maybe it could also be useful for people who are a bit shyer or don’t have the courage to meet people right away or are afraid of having a conversation of any kind in person.”(P8, M)
“Social media has allowed us to handle the disappointment of not being reciprocated without it being public. When a person approaches and isn’t accepted, yes, they face public rejection, and that can make someone a bit more intimidated… So I think it’s a positive thing.”(P38, F)
“There’s this man who keeps pestering me, even though I blocked him, he still keeps coming back, I’ve reported him several times, blocked him, and he keeps asking me, sending me posts.”(P6, F)
“Yes, yes, mainly on Instagram, from people I’ve never seen in my life, who maybe started following me and had the nerve to ask for intimate photos of mine in exchange for money.”(P4, F)
“So maybe at the time it just made me laugh because it was ridiculous, thinking about it afterward, and especially now that I’m older, I think, ‘What a disgusting thing,’ I mean, pull yourself together, you don’t send intimate photos to strangers, especially when you don’t even know the age of the strangers. Because in hindsight, I could have easily reported it, because I was a minor.”(P13, F)
“It happened to me (that someone sent me photos), but well, in that case, personally, it didn’t cause me any problems. I just block the account and move on.”(P8, M)
“It happened to me that some girls sent me photos. From a male perspective, I’m proud.”(P17, M)
“On social media, it’s more difficult because I imagine the moment I share a photo, I lose control of it. So, if I somehow withdraw my consent, how do I trust the other person?”(P18, F)
“When maybe I send a certain kind of photo thinking, ‘Well, it’s just for him.’ No one guarantees me that this photo will only stay with him and won’t be shown to the whole world.”(P23, F)
“If I send it without considering it, sure, it’s wrong for it to be shared, but I shouldn’t complain, so to speak, if it ends up being shared because the risk is there, period.”(P28, M)
“From a realistic point of view, these activities set the stage for a series of incidents that actually happen very frequently, too frequently to ignore.”(P20, M)
