the historical submission of women, if all this had not been reinforced
with violence, a coercive device, whose objective is to oppress and
control women (Varela, 2014).
The more violent a man is, the more admirable he assumes himself to
be and the more manly he will feel within the generic codes (Ramírez,
2002).
Spousal violence is more exercised by men against women, but it is not
only about behaviors that denote that women in society demand in a
macho way to remain in her role as caregiver and organizer of the
home (Haydar, Hamodi, Salazar, Rodríguez & Jiménez, 2019). In
addition, she must be efficient in everything if she decides to reconcile
work, motherhood, family, she has to be impeccable and full of health
and of course, that she is the best sexual lover (Castañeda, 2019).
In addition to this, there is another factor that influences men to be

identity, as a modeling of it, as an exercise of power, presence, visibility
and group reference, respect and as a generator of fear in the other and

type of violence the intimidation and reduction to the victim is
supported and enhances the power relationship in favor of the
aggressor, directly attacking the physical integrity through, blows,
kicks, throwing objects to the body, threatening with weapons and
other objects (Vázquez, Hurtado & Baños, 2018).
On the other hand, gender differences in status and power for men,
beliefs and behaviors in their relationships are based on an ethic of
violation and aggression towards others (Díaz & Arias 2001). Thus, in
the hierarchical structure of gender division, individual men maintain
the social, cultural, political and economic structure of oppression
towards women (Ramirez, 2002).
Therefore, it is believed in society that the female sex is synonymous
with weakness, where women can do whatever they want. Then, sexual
