Why don’t women riot?

Not looking for a specific discussion on this week’s events, but a broader one.

Basically, why do so few women riot? Arguably, they have far more to be angry about than men do!

An example of the stupidity of the male brain in repeating an act that never achieves anything. But then of course that assumes that had even thought it through, rather than it just being an opportunity for men to be violent. Someone needs to find out what these men actually think they have gained.

When violence is a rite of passage and thuggery a currency, when even the police know better than to try and stop you, you can feel untouchable. You can convince yourself you’re throwing petrol bombs for the cause, your elders encouraging you to join the frontline of the threat.

The only thing these men and boys are loyal to is violence: Protecting, maintaining, innovating and reappropriating violence for the next generation of boys, who will lose their lives to a culture that requires them to hate everyone who isn’t them.

Gemma McSherry: For these Belfast boys, violence is a rite of passage

There is nobody more dangerous than a man who has nothing to lose — just ask the women of Northern Ireland, 98% of whom have experienced gender-based violence

Some responses seeming to suggest that rioting is the most natural human behaviour and women have somehow been tricked out of doing it. I'm not sure that's the case. Very "men are the default humans".

Most men don't tend to riot either, certainly not in the 21st century west. It's very much a product of a particular subculture.
