Some Characteristics That Might Identify A Potential Batterer

Posted by Janis Erickson

  • Does a man report having been physically abused as a child?
  • Was the man's mother battered by his father?
  • Has the man been known to display violence against other people?
  • Does he play with guns and use them to protect himself against other people?
  • Does he lose his temper frequently and more easily than seems necessary?
  • Does he commit acts of violence against objects and things rather than people?
  • Does he drink alcohol excessively?
  • Does he display an unusual amount of jealousy when you are not with him? Is he jealous of significant other people in your life?
  • Does he expect you to spend all your free time with him or keep him informed of your whereabouts?
  • Does he become enraged when you do not listen to his advice?
  • Does he appear to have a dual personality?
  • Is there a sense of fear when he becomes angry with you? Does not making him angry become an important part of your behavior?
  • Is there a sense of overkill in his cruelty or in his kindness?
  • Does he have rigid ideas of what people should do that are determined by male or female sex-role stereotypes?
  • Do you think or feel you are battered? If so, the probability is high that you re a battered woman and should seek help immediately.

    God Bless you,

    Either You Are, Or You Aren't a Renaissance Woman!

    A renaissance woman is someone who sets her own agenda for personal achievement and will not allow herself to be manipulated or intimidated by self-proclaimed spokesmen who try and wrap their political philosophies around terms like "equality," "choice," "peace," "tolerance" and "diversity." She understands that she has been created for such a time as this and embraces her destiny as a challenge and not a curse, no matter what her personal circumstances. She is a winner not a whiner, a leader not a follower, a victor, not a victim. She wants to change the paradigm of the feminist movement that has served to marginalize and ridicule women who do not follow their collective agenda.

    Millions of women around the country, from all professions, backgrounds and cultures, are courageously picking up the mantel of leadership and virtue, that the feminist movement has squandered. They are providing thoughtful and accurate analysis, on a variety of issues, of where, and who we are as a nation.

    Remember, this is not a club. It is a mindset!
