While intimate violence against women occurs in all social classes, few studies have examined this abuse in the context of both class privilege and class disadvantage. This research investigates the experiences of women from all social classes who were abused by intimate male partners. One key issue in this study concerns masculinities. Drawing from in-depth interviews with 60 women, what kinds of masculinity do abusive men present in public? How do these public masculinities contrast with the masculinities they embody in private? What are abusive men's attitudes toward women in general? And finally, what similarities and differences do women report across social classes? Women reported that the different faces of masculinity men displayed helped to conceal the abuse and caused them to feel trapped in abusive relationships. This is interpreted in the context of masculinities and social class.
虽然亲密暴力在所有社会阶层中都存在，但很少有研究从阶级特权和阶级劣势的角度来考察这种虐待。本研究调查了来自各个社会阶层的被亲密男性伴侣虐待的女性的经历。这项研究中的一个关键问题涉及男性气质。本研究从对 60 名女性的深入访谈中得出，施虐男性在公共场合表现出什么样的男性气质？这些公开的男性气质与他们在私人场合表现出的男性气质有何不同？施虐男性对女性的一般态度是什么？最后，不同社会阶层的女性报告的相似点和不同点有哪些？女性报告说，男性表现出的不同的男性气质有助于掩盖虐待行为，并使她们感到被困在虐待关系中。这是在男性气质和社会阶级的背景下进行解释的。
