Abstract

This article examines the way in which women historically respond , in the familiar scenario, to marital violence. In principle, the snip, adopted as an object of study and analysis, consists of a typical mode of violence to the woman filed in the context of the cogs which  configure  the encounter between men and women. It points out the factors enhanced in this  meeting  which produce violence, exploring the  the possibility to reflect on aspects of the masculine condition or in ghosts   of the feminine universe. Considering the gender issue,    the following question is raised: Is the position of women  constructed based on educational principles  which determine  a particular type of role to  them or are there  other determinants? The analysis and discussion of this theme will be carried out considering the generational transmission of norms of gender-protocols from mother to daughter as well as  the constant reissue, in an unreflective manner, , that has been constituted as formative  roots of the   women’s behavior and which are part of the dynamics of the feminine in gender relations, in which the woman occupies a historically subordinate plan. Probably the condition of inferiority reflects  the transmission, from mother to daughter, of stereotyped patterns culturally assigned to women and that are accepted and replicated, almost automatically, in the scenario of marital relations.
