Some psychologists believe that aggression exists in humans innately, and when humans feel the wishes and instincts of them are menaced, they will be aggressive automatically. Some other thinkers believe that aggression is acquisitive, and individuals are trained to be violent in the family and society during the process of socialization and even culturalization. Violence against women affects all women of all ages and sometimes leads to self-censorship and house arrest. Iran's society in a vacuum between tradition and modernism, and the psychological conflicts and disorders created due to a dual space for men and women have created a dark and contaminated environment of all kinds of violence and conflicts which results in various types of damages and harms such as loneliness, aggression and self-censorship. Woman as a sexual object bears far more humiliations and indignities, and I, as an alert and vigilant member of damaged Iranian women community.
