Understanding gender-based violence negationism
Discourses on gender-based violence among Spanish adolescents
Keywords:
adolescence; gender-based violence; anti-feminism; gender-based violence denialism; politics of denialAbstract
This article is the result of a research conducted with adolescents with the aim of understanding their discourses on gender-based violence. It presents the findings of a qualitative research based on seven expert interviews, twelve group interviews conducted with Spanish adolescents. While female adolescents defend critical positions on gender-based violence, male adolescents are closer to post-macho positions. Male adolescents do not completely deny the existence of gender-based violence, but they do minimise its importance. This research note presents three research results: first, a map of the discursive positions of adolescent males and females on gender-based violence; second, a re-construction of the trivialising argument about gender-based violence; and third, what has been called the curved mirror, which is the set of beliefs that adolescent males have about themselves with respect to gender-based violence.
