VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A MULHER ENQUANTO DIALOGIA INSTAURATIVA ENTRE O CONTEXTO HISTÓRICO-SOCIAL E O GENOMA DO AGRESSOR.

Female submission was constructed from a historical bias, stereotyped in cave paintings, in which men were stigmatized as supreme power. This cultural imperialism was configured as a reflection of violence against women, whose pathological aggression was materialized in genetic foundations, of which the polymorphism of the Monoamine Oxidase A (MAOA) gene and its congenital deficiency stood out. In this review, the MAOA gene was analyzed regarding its structure, polymorphism, neuroatomic distribution, pharmacological response, biochemical analysis, epigenetic influence and its correlation with aggressive personality traits, fruits of the rooting of aggressive practices throughout history. The study consists of a systematic review of the scientific literature. Thus, progress in the characterization of the phenotypic consequences of low MAOA activity promotes knowledge about the aggressor’s genome and its potential occupational therapies, in order to combat the scenario of violence.
