Why Are Men So Violent?

I thought it was hilariously stupid; like someone trying to sound scientific while playing with their own poo :)

It is a flawed article, that much is certain. But it does have some valid points.

She makes a lot of big assumptions that she doesn't back up. Also it is a strange topic to choose, there is hardly an epidemic of male violence - depression, drug abuse, homelessness obesity etc are far more pressing issues (if they originate in the individual or are the wounds of social violence would be one question). The only areas that suffer from violence (talking in England), spring from poverty or poor policing etc. The massive variance in violence between wealthy areas and poor areas well shows that gender is a red herring. Further she doesn't explore female violence - being that of recruiting men to act for them, or simply attacking babies, children and the elderly - either to dismiss it or explore it.

Basically a cheap topic, and a cheap bunch of conclusions.

The more important question: Why does society treat men so violently?

She fucked up by only using one location for all "evidence" in the referencing. No matter what source it is, if you are attempting to make an intelligent and constructive essay you would use more than source of factoids.

Resources are finite and unevenly dispersed. Without contraception, women are frequently pregnant. I dont need much more than that to understand why society is the way it is.

First line of the article:

It will not have gone unnoticed that men are more violent than women.

False.

Especially if you include "emotional violence"...

and start all of the wars

And I stopped right there. Catherine the Great and Cleopatra not withstanding. Wasn't Margaret Thatcher in power when England was at war with Argentina? Queen Elizabeth? Dozens of other female rulers?

Hellooooo! Does no one remember Helen?

Why are women often attracted to violent men?

"Why Are Men So Violent?"

Because we are taught to be that way. The real question is why are women so violent - i don't see anyone teaching them to beat the crap out of kids and lesbians, yet there they are doing it.

Yeah because, ya know, all those queens who committed acts of violence against their opponent countries were actually doing it because of...men...somehow. Yeah, makes total sense!

That article is just more idiotic claims with zero evidence to support them.

aetheralloy · 2012-03-25T22:04:26+00:00

Clearly, men are violent because they hate women and want to make their grandmothers, mothers, wives, daughters, nieces, and aunts into abused slaves.

What else could it be! Come on - that author was legit!

<sarcasm>Silly, it's not biology, it's only the patriarchy!</sarcasm>

Like most feminists, she commits a fallacy of composition by failing to properly differentiate between the very small percentage of men in power vs the majority of men with very little power.

The article does not even thinly veil the need to "reform men". She didn't say some men, no in her eyes, all men are defective and in need of reform.

Ninjalicious · 2012-03-26T03:22:01+00:00

I strongly encourage everyone to actually read the article. It has a very pro equality conclusion. Everyone seems to be skimming it for rage material instead of actually digging down into it.

Gobhoblin · 2012-03-26T13:15:14+00:00

Because the only way that a non-violent man can succeed in this world is by submitting to and labouring for men who are violent. In modern society, this takes the form of peaceful men who are allowed to find success so long as they obey the laws and pay the taxes of the violent rulers (the state).

Ziroth · 2012-03-25T19:57:01+00:00

What is the basis.. I mean honestly. Why and where does she think this will Take heed in any way or form.. This is feminism to the upmost extreme.
