"Agonizing disconnections occur in men's lives too, but men are socialized to respond differently than women to these violations. Men who watch their mothers being battered in childhood are more likely to become batterers themselves whereas women are more likely to become victims of batterers. Men who are sexually abused as children are more likely to become predators, whereas women often end up more obviously damaging themselves, marrying child abusers or becoming prostitutes."
