To quote H. Rap Brown. But seriously, most of human history is a litany of larceny, violence, and murder. From the rise of agriculture until this very day 9/10s of us have been real or de facto slaves. And I think us guys do most of the violence because we are (some of us) better at it (bigger), we are trained for it, and we are socialized for it. Cultures go to a lot of trouble to train their young men to be good at violence and to glorify in it. I'm not defending that, I don't like it at all, but it doesn't really seem a mystery to me that it's still that way, or that it spills over into domestic situations, or any other sorts of situations.
I'm not denigrating your comment on TV, TV is vicious tripe.
