A influência patriarcal na invisibilidade da violência psicológica sofrida pela mulher

Abstract

Marital relations marked by psychological violence represent a complex, multifaceted and extremely subtle issue to the point of being overlooked in most cases. The lack of perception of reality is consolidated by the patriarchal remnants that naturalize the phenomenon of violence against women to the present day. This process happens to the extent that the media and knowledge disseminate symbolically the social roles of each individual when considering only the gender perspective. In this way society unconsciously reproduces practices and values ​​that legitimize or tolerate the man who uses violence to ensure order in the domestic environment. Symbolic power occurs veiled and unnoticed insofar as it reinforces the feminine submission to man, as it does in patriarchal society. The sociocultural naturalization of discrimination against women is the simplest means of enhancing the supposed male grandeur. Thus, it strengthens the insensitivity of common discourse in ignoring psychological violence, which intensifies the suffering of the victims that create a true wall of isolation that makes it difficult to perceive and combat this serious violation of rights.
