Letting men off the hook? Domestic violence and postfeminist celebrity culture.
Students can read this article and start a debate on how the abuse on women is perceived through the media. In spite of the contribution of new social networks to the debate on domestic violence, like in the case of the public relationship between Rihanna and Chris Brown, the woman is perceived as a guilty or responsible, not as a victim. The idea of "letting men off the hook" points to the fact that, although there has been a proliferation of coverage on domestic violence incidents within the media, it is accompanied by a lack of social and/or legal sanctions. Male perpetrators suffer few consequences and the public seems no longer shocked by it. This article also defines the postfeminist concept of successful "can-do" girl and "at-risk" girls.
