Interesting perspective on violence

[undergroundpanther]

If we consider how young women who brawl violently and drunkenly in the street are treated in the media - with outrage, suspicion, shock; whereas with young, drunken, violent men nobody bats an eyelid. Of course they are violent, people say, they are men, it's the testosterone running through their veins! Erm, really? Is that it? Is it quite simply that men think in a Tarzan like fashion - 'I am man with crazy hormones therefore I will beat everyone up?' Now this isn't very fair on passive, calm, non-aggressive men who wouldn't hurt a fly is it?
