Renate rest in her 2003s work "space power generation" skillfully shows a social (False) to the design: Based on the binarity of privacy and public space, and related sexual connotation (private = connotes female, publicly male) they analyzed the public discourse constructed image of public space, the same for many women fear space is. She reveals a paradox: while many women feel in public spaces more fears than most men, but they are rarely victims of violence than men. Fear space is therefore not the same danger zone. This (mis) construction will be far the victim, in the "women" (the homogeneous group of "women do not actually) are often seen.
openly gay men are regarded as anti-male, and often see themselves (like) as the victim or be forced into this as well. The image of gay men in the victim role is predominantly that of gay men as perpetrators of violence on the other hand not very present.
As the victim status is associated with impotence, has laid rest to the violence discourse on the power of discourse to the balance of power between the sexes "(unfortunately the rest is within the boundaries of this binary structure) to break up. As she is the anti-racist feminist discourse, they analyzed the factor masculinity not as a potential victim.
To gay men from the role of potential victim of (alleged heterosexual, male) violence to increase in public space, an analysis of masculinity and victimization (not fear), first on the basis of statistical data (it is also possible that gay men more often victims of violence of any kind in the private room and rarely in the public space as heterosexual men) are needed to quite the queer sense, the existing power relationship between hetero, homo, bi and to blow up trans.
addition, the general question of the factor masculinity be asked: are men who are regarded as anti-male (gay androgynous, homeless men, etc.) more often victims of violence in public space as men, the stereotypes of hegemonic masculinity come close?
