Abstract
This study explored, through in]depth interviews, the experiences of men sexually, psychologically, and/or physically victimized by female romantic partners. Menfs narratives were analyzed to determine how masculinity and construction of victim] identities were related. Results show that abused men construed victimization as precipitated internally through self]blame and externally via societal]blame. Gendered masculinity was demonstrated for most men in the form of hegemonic]striving via complicit rationalizations; however, a minority of men constructed victimization in terms of protest masculinity.
