As várias formas de violência contra a mulher como expressões do patriacardo no contexto brasileiro

Abstract

Through exploratory research with a quantitative approach, the historical origin of the patriarchal system and its development is investigated, seeking to demystify the assertion that the subordination of women in this system would have natural and biological causes, an argument used to sustain contemporary male supremacy and the perpetuation of women's oppression. The research also seeks to address the issue of patriarchy as a system with a claim to truth, which strives to remain invisible to the social gaze in order to perpetuate itself, which makes it possible for many women not to understand the violence imposed on them as a expression of a complex architecture, but only as isolated events and, thus, they cannot identify and combat them correctly. The work also enters into the issue of violence against women in the Brazilian context, exemplifying the still late legislative and judicial mentality regarding women's rights with legal concepts and criminal typifications that until recently were retrograde on the subject, in addition to the still present in the Jury Courts the thesis of the legitimate defense of honor, used by lawyers of feminicides who seek their acquittal, a thesis that was judged by the Federal Supreme Court in ADPF 779/DF, bringing several legal debates.
