This article it is a synthesis of the third chapter of my master thesis entitled “Love and the Furies”: the second stage of a research about abuses and violence inside lesbian’s relationships, whose first phase was completed in 2009. In the paper, I retake the thesis’ conclusion about the intersection of various systems of oppression that articulate and act on the relational space created by the couple. This mechanism isreinforced and catalysed by the action of the social and the internalized lesbophobia, heteronormativity and hegemonic love models, establishing like a continuum of discrimination, abuse and violence. Finally I discuss in depth romantic love like an ideological construction and the mechanisms through which is learned, incorporated and signed by women, particularly by lesbians.
