141. well, when the OP asks why men kill, it kinda opens the door for men
to respond.
since (I hope) most men here are NOT killers, we're likely to point that out.

The same would be if I started a thread saying why do women kill. That opens the door for women to respond.

the difficulty is, none of us know at this point why some people kill and some don't.
If its only testosterone, then there would be no women killers. There has to be other factors, most probably individual factors based on the life of that individual that chooses to kill.

I once attended a rape counseling class as an RA in the dorm, because I'd had friends raped, and guys on my floor had girlfriends that were. I wanted to know how best to counsel people in those situations. Instead, the entire class was premised on that all men were rapists and how society made all men rapists. Interesting from a sociological angle, but not much help in learning how to counsel people.

When you accuse all men of being killers, by definition, IT IS ABOUT MEN....
