Well... Gee. If it's that damn simple, do you think we can try and get rid of all war, poverty, and violent crime while we're at it? :roll:

I'm sorry, but that simple fact of the matter is that human beings suck - Some more than others. That's always been the case, and - barring some rather extensive forays into the realm of behavioral modification via genetic engineering (frankly, if we're being honest, probably not even then) - it always will be.

Like it or not, some people are natural predators. If you provide them with an easily accessible hunting ground, they WILL take advantage of that.

I mean... I'm really not sure what else to say here. This is both common sense and common knowledge. :shrug:

Really?? We aren't talking about "some people," we're talking about the very real issue that boys are allowed to be raised believing that their aggressive and "masculine" behavior is acceptable. That seems to be the real issue behind the transgender bathroom meme. It's not transgenders that are the problem at all as we've seen in this thread, it's men that are the problem. Fix men, leave transgenders alone.

Men are more aggressive than women in every society. On a side note, American society is doing more to teach young women to act aggressively than ever. I somewhat enjoy how feminists openly endorse women being more aggressive, while they condemn male aggressiveness.

Encouraging women to stand up and be counted is not the same as encouraging aggressiveness. I don't know anyone who encourages women to be aggressive, ... assertive, absolutely, aggressive not so much. Of course, in your world, any woman that disagrees with, out maneuvers, or in anyway is equal to or bests a man would be considered "aggressive."

Really? You don't think women are actually encouraged to be involved in aggressive endeavors? Do you have an idea how happy feminists get when a woman decides to be a fighter for a living?

Anyway, why don't you tell me how society tells men it is ok to be aggressive. I bet I can pretty much say all the same are true for women these days too.

I dont know that men are more aggressive in relationships. So far the science is inconclusive.

This study found that women demonstrated a desire to control their partners and were more likely to use physical aggression than men.
“It wasn’t just pushing and shoving,” said Dr Bates, who presented the results at a meeting of the British Psychological Society in Glasgow. “Some people were circling the boxes for things like beating up, kicking, and threatening to use a weapon.
“In terms of high levels of control and aggression, there was no difference between men and women.”
A study in the 1990s led by the US sociologist Professor Michael P Johnson coined the term “intimate terrorism” to describe controlling behaviour in a relationship.
He found that such “terrorists” are almost always men, a claim which Dr Bates refutes, pointing to the fact that Professor Johnson’s study looked at men in prison and women in refuges, rather than more typical members of the public.
“The stereotypical popular view is still one of dominant control by men,” Dr Bates added. “That does occur but research over the last 10 or 15 years has highlighted the fact that women are controlling and aggressive in relationships too.
“A contributing factor could be that in the past women have talked about it more. Now there is more support for men and more of them are feeling comfortable coming forward.”

I would say in relationships women are more likely to be controlling and desire dominance. I think that is largely a consequence of how society has addressed men and women in relationships in the last several decades.

This recent push to make women more like men even in terms of aggressiveness I think will lead to an increase in women fighting and assaulting others.

Are you seriously trying to blame the existence of pedophiles, psychopaths, and rapists on boys being encouraged to do things like wrestle and play PeeWee Football as children?

Really?? :roll:

IDK, I remember learning that at one point, I think it was the 1500's, women berating and abusing their men in public in Germany got to be such a problem that laws had to be passed, and public humiliation of the women who done it enforced.
