In the video Tough Guise 85% of murders and done by men, 90% of all violence related acts are done by men, 99.8% of people in jail for rape ore men. 10 school shootings in 3 years and all done by boys. As these statistics show most violence related acts, sexual assaults and murders are done by men.

popular culture #6
This week we have talked about masculinity and violence in men and the media. When I think about all 3 categories in the same category I think about WWF and UFC. When little boys see things like this a part of me does believe that it effects them. Men have this side to them that HAS to be tough and masculine so they think that fighting and violence is part of the norm. If a man is not as tough and big as some other men they get degraded by others, being called gay, faggots, bitches etc. So if you're not tough and muscular your not a "real man."

I don't believe that men have a biological urge to hurt other people or to be aggressive, at least any more than women do. It is true that statistics suggest men commit more violent crimes, but I think this is caused more by social conditioning.
