Isolation Isolation is a form of abuse often closely connected to controlling behaviors. It is not an isolated behavior, but the outcome of many kinds of abusive behaviors. By keeping the victim from seeing who they want to see, doing what they want to do, setting and meeting goals, and controlling how the victim thinks and feels, the perpetrator is isolating the victim from the resources personal and public which may help them leave the relationship.
As it progresses, the isolation expands, limiting or excluding their contact with anyone but the batterer. Eventually, the victim is left totally alone and without the internal and external resources to change their life.
Self-isolation may also develop from fear of public humiliation or from fear of harm to themselves or others. Using Male Privilege As long as we as a culture accept the principle and privilege of male dominance, men will continue to be abusive. As long as we as a culture accept and tolerate violence against women, men will continue to be abusive.
There is no man who has not enjoyed the male privilege resulting from male domination reinforced by the use of physical violence. Battering by individual men keeps all women in line. While not every woman has experienced violence, there is no woman in this society who has not feared it, restricting her activities and her freedom to avoid it.
Women are always watchful knowing that they may be the arbitrary victims of male violence. Domestic violence is about power and control. These issues may be associated with battering of women, but they do not cause it. There are also many secondary benefits of violence to the batterer. A batterer may choose to be violent because he finds it fun to terrorize his partner, because there is a release of tension in the act of assault, because it demonstrates manhood, or because violence is erotic for him.
Human trafficking for sexual exploitation may require additional support including legal support. For example, an abuser may use physical violence a few times and then use verbal violence and threats to keep the woman he abusing under control from that point onwards. Economic violence may be used to keep her dependent on the abuser, with stalking and harassment preventing her from accessing outside support.
