A reminder about the Duluth Model. Forgetaboutthelonely September 5, 2021 200 upvotes /r/LeftWingMaleAdvocates The Duluth Model (also known as Domestic Abuse Intervention Project or DAIP[1] or Pence's model[2]) is a program developed to reduce domestic violence against women. It is named after Duluth, Minnesota, the city where it was developed.[3] The program was largely founded by feminist Ellen Pence.[3] As of 2006, the Duluth Model is the most common batterer intervention program used in the United States. The feminist theory underlying the Duluth Model is that men use violence within relationships to exercise power and control. However, Ellen Pence herself has written, "By determining that the need or desire for power was the motivating force behind battering, we created a conceptual framework that, in fact, did not fit the lived experience of many of the men and women we were working with. The DAIP staff [...] remained undaunted by the difference in our theory and the actual experiences of those we were working with [...] It was the cases themselves that created the chink in each of our theoretical suits of armor. Speaking for myself, I found that many of the men I interviewed did not seem to articulate a desire for power over their partner. Although I relentlessly took every opportunity to point out to men in the groups that they were so motivated and merely in denial, the fact that few men ever articulated such a desire went unnoticed by me and many of my coworkers. Eventually, we realized that we were finding what we had already predetermined to find."[22] This is what happens when feminist "academics" create and influence legislation.
