To merge various theoretical explanations together, psychologist Gregory Merrill later proposed an integration of the social and psychological aspects of intimate partner violence.39 While learning and choosing are primarily psychological or individualistic explanations of battering, he emphasized the context of the opportunity to abuse. For batterers, the opportunity to abuse and learn what one can get away with is gendered. Here, men are particularly at risk for perpetration due to the same gender socialization factors to which sociocultural feminist researchers point. Not only are men encouraged to be violent, but they also learn that this violence is often normalized and effective, which, in turn, can further enable abuse.
As an extension to this thinking, it is important to acknowledge that gender is not the only social factor involved; race, class, sexual orientation, and gender identity all contextualize the abuser’s opportunity and choice to abuse. The connection of the broader structure to micro-level processes highlights how social context may lead to the perception that one member of the relationship has relatively more or less social power than the other. Power here can be understood as the ability to project one’s own desires onto another. With less power, there is a diminished (but not eliminated) capacity to enact negative consequences against a potential perpetrator. This can again be gendered because men in our society are typically ascribed this social power. However, in the power’s application, all relationships, regardless of the sexual orientations and gender identities involved, are subject to power dynamics that are informed by patriarchy.
