  • Yeah, so the emerging data that increasingly proves that women display aggressive tendencies under the same conditions as males provided that the women are not being observed by males and the increasing happenstance of women being arrested for violent crime in all countries worldwide... It's an illusion, it never happened.

    • "Increasing"? It's still relatively uncommon. In fact, crime statistics go a long way in validating the claim that glaring discrepancies exist between genders. Exceptions do not negate rules.

      • And lack of data and proper reporting does not establish that females lacking violent tendencies is a rule.

        Think about it. Think about your perception of female violence as a rule. It is the same mentality that cops carry when they are dealing with female aggressors, the same mentality that often prevents females from being arrested for domestic violence and child abuse and it is the same mentality that, at the same time, inhibits female violence behavior due to the social norm that females, as a rule, are not aggressors.

        If you place these rules in effect in your society in that women must deal with their emotions through crying, reaching out for help and chocolate sprees and men deal with them through sheer, physical anger... I'm just going to throw out there that the concept of a self-fulfilling prophecy can and does extend to a macro-level.

        • You are correct that law enforcement's (and society's in general) methods of handling such situations is terribly biased in favor of women. This is wrong. But that's not the point.

          If gender is largely a social construct, why are the overwhelming majority of serial killers, warlords and terrorists - and mathematicians and philosophers - men? If "traditional gender roles" have no basis in biological instinct, then why are they practically universal, found amongst seemingly all cultures worldwide?

          Sexes, like races, are innately and fundamentally unique. And that's a great thing.

    • I am liking this discussion so far, but could you provide a source? (Ex: a survey) This seems interesting.

      • https://books.google.com/books?id=NqoWmrAoQn0C&pg=PA26&lpg=PA26&dq=females+aggressive+tendencies+dropped+bombs&source=bl&ots=VOVEb6x9ur&sig=SVDkUPDvUNJm_HFEuSpBbFzpov0&hl=en&sa=X&ei=ejoZVZ3rE9i4ogTBzICgBw&ved=0CCUQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=bombs&f=false

        Here is a fun favorite. A lot of the data in this book I believe is from the 90's although the studies have been repeated with the same or similar results. Skip to page 26 and you'll see the study that I am talking about in regards to women dropping bombs on the interactive video game.
