It's clear as day that men perpetrate the overwhelming percentage of violence, not just towards women, but to other men too.
There may be some biological predisposition that, but there is almost certainly a lot of social conditioning too. That social conditioning is happening through society as a whole - men and women.
I wouldn't want people to think it's apologist to say 'there's a reason', more that if we can deduce the reason(s) and start to change them, then there is hope that men might behave differently. That's not make us any less 'manly' (whatever that means), just make us more less threatening to ourselves, to women, to children.
The world is full of very decent men, almost all of whom have the capacity to become violent with the right triggers. Most of them never become violent, but there is no doubting as half of the human species, we are the most threatening.
Women have their own traits, and they aren't without problems of their own, but those are far less a threat that man's behaviour right now. I don't know how helpful it really is to constantly be reminded about how violent we are as a 'class'. But there's no doubt that we DO need reminding.
Truth be told, as a class, I think we need help, serious help. I don't believe we are predisposed to be as bad as we are, and other cultures can at least offer improved male behaviour. There's hope.
The phrase 'don't you guys get it' crops up a lot. And evidently no, we don't 'get it' a lot of the time. Perhaps we are a little dense, perhaps we are a little ignorant, but maybe too, the delivery of the message has to come in a way that men can better understand.
But above all this, we may belong to a 'class', but we are still individuals. When a man says 'women are...' it depersonalises them. It's the same with 'men are...'
I don't think most are men haters, I think most hate what men can do.
