This paper shows how theorizing gender as a social system and a situational accomplishment provides a broad perspective that helps to synthesize many strands of theoretical and empirical research on IPV. We first address generalist claims that gendered explanations of IPV are not necessary. We next present a unifying feminist theoretical framework to explain IPV experiences and discuss how this framework can be extended to consider how gender and race systems intersect to influence IPV. We call for future theoretical development and empirical research that takes seriously a variety of intersecting systems and dimensions of oppression.

女性伴侣视角下亲密伴侣暴力的统一理论与研究

本文展示了如何将性别理论作为一种社会系统和一种情境成就提供广阔的视野，有助于综合许多有关IPV的理论和实证研究。我们首先讨论通才主义者的说法，即对IPV的性别解释是不必要的。接下来，我们将提供一个统一的女权主义理论框架来解释IPV经验，并讨论如何扩展该框架以考虑性别和种族系统如何相交以影响IPV。我们呼吁未来的理论发展和实证研究认真对待各种相交系统和压迫维度。
