In reply to the discussion: Talk about women's hormones if you want. But unhappy, angry men are the deadliest weapon on Earth [View all]SharonAnn
(13,772 posts)64. Not miniscule in my experience. Lots of friends and community members victims of:
Domestic violence
Rape
Child sexual abuse
Shootings
Not to mention even things like city council meetings.
It is nearly always men who have this behavior. In fact, the only women I can think of behaving badly were at city council meetings and they were teamed with their husband who did most of the yelling.
Then there are the policy decision where the men in control gladly promulgate policies that badly affect women and children.
I personally know probably hundreds of men who have behaved this way. Long lifetime, I grant you, but I only know one woman who was a shooter and she shot her husband after he beat her.
