| Sumario: | Both the issues of men’s violence against women and suicide among men have received growing attention in research, policy, and media over the past few decades. The majority of domestic, family, and sexual violence is perpetrated at the hands of men, while more suicides are by men. Often, men’s violence against women and violence against the self exist conterminously. Murder-suicide – whether intimate partner homicide-suicide, familicide-suicide, or public mass murder suicide – is predominantly male-perpetrated. Even murder-suicide events against strangers are often preceded by histories of sexual or domestic violence against women, signalling the imbrication of varied forms of violence. While it is uncommon to conceptualise suicide and self-harm as acts of violence, gendered patterns and themes in the genesis and expression of these harms raise important questions about the interconnections between men’s violence(s) against the self and others. Yet, these issues are often looked at separately and through competing lenses. Drawing on the notion of men’s violences against the self and others as gender-based, this chapter considers how we may think productively about the connection between these issues. |
