Why are men so violent?

Why are women as violent as men, or more violent than men?

Aggression isn't gendered.

It's an interesting post although not very well written.

Feminists like to paint men as simply being violent. In their world view men are just naturally violent and commit violent crimes as a result. It's a logical, inevitable causality.

In reality though, it takes quite a bit to get men to fight. Most men have to go through a process called ramping, which is a gradual elevation of their mental state from calm, through irritation, to anger, to shouting, to big gestures, to pushing, then fighting.

But there has to be something to drive the ramp. It's not spontaneous. And most men have a very small number of things that will push them up the ramp. The article rightly points out that relationships are one of the most common things.

Why do women go for men who are so violent?

If you include violence toward the elderly and children it is more equal.

The problem with including false accusations as violence ('proxy violence'), is there might be an equivalent male false accusation that we are simply not aware of (economic violence for example). Plus false accusations are very hard to measure. And what about things that are equivalent to false accusations? Such as fathers who leave childcare in the mothers hands (when she also works).

It is not that surprising that men commit more violence much like the poor commit more violence, it is a side effect of being the victim of violence, poverty etc.

My mother killed someone with her car by accident and cried herself out of any punishment. Got me to attack my dad, got my step dad to attack me, got my uncle to attack me, got my step dad to try to run my dad over, got a totally spurious restraining order against my dad, moved 4 hours away out of spite, got the divorce itself out of anger (though justified) - in which both of them lost the majority of their savings on lawyers. I'm just saying I understand that women can find it very easy to make false accusations, but I still don't think we should treat things as evidence if they can't be verified.
