Violent Ideology
A common ideology embedded in patriarchy, carnism, racism, and so on. It is difficult to question an ideology that cannot be seen. This is even more so if it is an ideology that actively conceals itself, like carnism. Melanie Joy calls this special kind of ideology a violent ideology. Because it is in fact based on physical violence.1
Domestic Violence
Jeong Hee-jin says this in A Very Intimate Violence.
Domestic violence is not what brings about a crisis in the family. Domestic violence is only one facet of the current family structure, and therefore domestic violence may not be a deviant incident but rather the ‘norm’ of a patriarchal society.2
The perception that such things could not happen because the home is a space of love conceals violence, while conversely, the idea that in a violent family there is no love, only conflict and hatred, makes it difficult to understand the women victims who remain there.3
