Abstract
In this paper, we consider how ideologies about heterosexual working class masculinity play a symbolic role for middle-class, educated men in the context of a batterers’ treatment programme. We suggest that the middle class, educated men who are the focus of this paper create identities for themselves by a process of differentiation, in particular, by distancing themselves from the majority of the men in the batterers’ group who supposedly embody a heterosexual working class masculinity. More specifically, we argue that this kind of identity construction is an integral part of the middle-class men’s accounts of their violence: by differentiating themselves from those who they represent as ‘real abusers’ they manage to diminish and minimize their responsibility for their acts of violence against their domestic partners.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
