Resumo
INTRODUCTION: Historically, in Brazil, gender inequalities are built with foundations in patriarchy-capitalism-racism, and generate a favorable environment for the emergence of gender violence. Even today, due to the magnitude and relevance, perceived inequalities between genders remain a necessary topic and with new configurations, a phenomenon that affects men and women. In this study, these inequalities will be discussed taking as a problem the production of violence, as a habitus socially constructed by relationships anchored in hegemonic masculinities. OBJECTIVE: to analyze the narratives about masculinities and gender inequalities from the point of view of male perpetrators of violence indicted by the Civil Police, referred to the Specialized Police Station for Women, a reference in Grande Vitória-ES. METHODOLOGY: this is a descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, with 20 male perpetrators of violence referred to a service of the Specialized Police Station for Assistance to Women, a reference for the municipalities of Cariacica, Vila Velha, Vitória and Serra-ES . For data collection, a semi-structured interview was used, carried out remotely through recorded phone calls due to health restrictions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The narratives were transcribed and, later, with the help of Atlas.ti software, version 9.0, they underwent an enunciation analysis under the theoretical lens of Habitus, by the author Bourdieu, and Domination-exploration, by Saffioti. The study's research question is: what are the narratives of male perpetrators of violence on masculinities that, therefore, strengthen practices of gender inequalities?. RESULTS: male perpetrators of violence mentioned the following central ideas about what “being a man” means: being heterosexual; not showing affection to other men; to be a provider, worker, honest, good and faithful father; takes care of and offers security to the family; have good financial condition and a good level of education. The participants' central ideas about what it means to “be a woman” were: to be affectionate/affectionate, companion, faithful, respectful; having dialogue, posture; it does not prevent man from carrying out his will; it is not vulgar; it is not confrontational; it does not go out alone for leisure or sell itself for money; does not change gender. It was observed that most cases of gender violence were motivated by jealousy. CONCLUSION: gender inequalities, as well as violence against women, represent a historical process, crossed and intersected, also by issues associated with race, social class, gender and sexual orientation of each individual. Male domination demands effort and adaptations for its maintenance in society, in addition to having repercussions on inequalities in economic, cultural, social and symbolic capital between men and women.
