Abstract
This article examines the narratives of men who claim to have experienced female perpetrated intimate partner violence against them, their encounters with public support agencies, the problems that arise from the support workers' expectations of men, and the ways in which gender impacts on the communication between the support agencies and men. The concept of cultural script will form a key part of this analysis.
