Quizplus · Accepted Answer

None of the options provided accurately reflect the reality of the battering of women. Battering is a form of domestic violence and involves a pattern of physical, sexual, emotional, and/or economic abuse used by one partner to gain or maintain power and control over the other. It is not caused by the behavior or characteristics of the victim, but rather by the perpetrator's desire for power and control. Blaming the victim or suggesting that they somehow cause or invite the violence is not accurate or helpful.
