The psychologist, Soledad Sierra, referred this Wednesday to the relationships of abuse and manipulation in the couple, emphasizing that violence against women is not allowed, but neither is it against men.
He stated that this originates from the education of machismo, which burdens the man with a series of responsibilities that he has to execute. “I mean, he has to have the power, be the provider, respond to the needs, endure and endure because he is the masculine one,” he said.
He indicated that, despite the fact that the statistics say that the percentage of violence is higher towards women, curiously, in dating relationships the percentage of physical aggression towards men is higher.
The expert explained that violence against men is known as “silent violence” and is a “control aggression to say where you are going, why you were late.”
