Can anyone please help me, i need to give some examples of what signs may be in practice when a child is suffering from the feminist model?

Would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I think this question needs more detail. Feminism today is about supporting womens rights. I am unsure how this relates to suffering. Have you misunderstood your assignment and is this a veiled child abuse assignment?

Hello ..i am amy and am a student. i have this very problem and i need to know just a discription on what feminist model means in child abuse? can you help me at all.

by: Jazz

Do you mean children that are subjected to witnessing spousal abuse/domestic violence?

 If so, then you'd be looking for either withdrawn or overly-aggressive behaviour.  Changes in behaviour, reverting to younger tendencies, overreacting to being corrected (as in fearful of rebuke, wide eyes, no eye contact, crying, shaking, hiding).  Also keep an eye on their role play and see if they act out any of the scenarios they may have witnessed.

Is this helpful?

please please explain what this means. how can feminism be abusive? 

by: Tunja

The feminist model regards sexual abuse as an aspect of a wider power system of male dominance over women and children, an integral part of which is male violence. Such a model recognizes inequality in general, particularly the abuse of power between age-groups, and presupposes different forms of intervention, but it does not offer any obvious solution for the minority of women who abuse children.

feminist model is when people believe that only men abuse when it not

 women do it as wel as much as men but that is what it means

because women are also abusers so they can do it even tho women are believed to the fairer of the two sexs

im currently doing an assignment on theories of child abuse and this is one of the areas we have to look in to. how it has been described to me is feminist belive that men like to have all the power and they can get power by abusing children or to regain the power if they have lost it.

another way is also that they say men are less likey to be seen as neglectful as has been for 100s of years mainly the man that goes to work and now as wemen are now starting to go to work not just being stay at home mums they are sometimes been said to be neglectful of there children.

hope thats of some help =]

for anyone who may see this recently, as i did, a feminist model of child abuse is when the man is believed to be more dominant and powering therefore more likely to abuse. this model isn't a fact, it is just what some people may think is the reason for child abuse. i hope this helps, i did it for my coursework and couldn't find any thing on the internet but this helped me :-)

It's certainly not a fact that most child abuse is committed by men, judging from a lot of the stats on the internet. Balanced with this, women are still more likely to be the prime caregiver, spending more time with their children than men, so in some ways it's hardly surprising that more child abuse is committed by women (alongside more moments of truly loving and healthy relationships happening). It's a difficult subject to weigh up and discuss but it's not made any easier by a so-called feminist model that appears more intent on blaming men rather considering the part both sexes have to play to protect children from abuse of all kinds.

Also, as far as nursery work, I don't know if this is somehow compensating for a perceived patriarchal world, but I notice, while it doesn't apply to everyone, it's more likely to be women that are abusing their power over children by bossing kids around, telling them off for playing, or nagging whereas the men who work in the field tend not to feel the need to try to rule the roost over children in quite the same way, and are way more laidback and respectful in their approach. The feminist model seems to have things muddled up, at least in this context.
