I think females are victimized more in domestic violence cases more than men because of the Patriarchy Theory. Society pushes men to feel dominate and strong and when they loose these feelings of power they tend to take it out on their female partners in heterosexual relationships. This abuse isn’t always physical. Emotional or mental abuse is more common and less talked about because they are less visible or noticeable to others.

A child who witnesses domestic violence can have a harder time in relationships. This can occur as they juggle the ideas of not wanting to continue the same relationships they have viewed, while that also being the main relationship idea they have encountered.
