The relevance of gender has been a central debate in the intimate partner violence (IPV) literature. The current qualitative study explored the role of gender in shaping the social context, meaning, and reception of young women's IPV in the United States. A total of 36 undergraduate women were recruited from a larger sample for in-depth interviews. Emergent themes suggest that women's violence was construed as nonequivalent to men's violence, including the perceived triviality of women's violence, contingencies under which women's violence is deemed acceptable, and the status of male IPV as unacceptable. Gender was important for participants and bystanders in determining whether they interpreted behaviors as meaningful acts of violence.
性别相关性一直是亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）文献中的核心争论点。当前的定性研究探讨了性别在美国年轻女性亲密伴侣暴力的社会背景塑造、意义及接受度方面所起的作用。从一个更大的样本中招募了36名本科女性进行深入访谈。新出现的主题表明，女性的暴力行为被认为与男性的暴力行为不等同，包括对女性暴力行为的轻视、女性暴力行为被视为可接受的偶然情况，以及男性亲密伴侣暴力行为不可接受的地位。性别对于参与者和旁观者判断他们是否将行为解读为有意义的暴力行为至关重要。
