Firstly, it shows the ambivalence and ambiguities of the way in which the experts interpret it. On the one hand, they continue to talk about the female “sex”, thus reinforcing the model of sexual identity and arising in men a problematic feeling of exclusion and victimization. On the other hand, they convey the idea that gender-based violence can be dissociated by the asymmetries of power due to genderization.
