Then later reading some stuff around this but not exactly this. Men tend to try to solve their mental health problems on their own.
-
Often it works when the problem is mild & the solution is ignoring it & carrying on even more vigorously rather than alcohol or drugs.
-
Best thing for early depression/anxiety. Or if doesn't work, they put up with it & don't seek help until awful then seek permanent solution
-
Women more likely to address problem & talk about it but sometimes this leads to wallowing in the feelings & getting overwhelmed by them.

I don't disagree with any of this. Biology plays an important role in the propensity for males to be more aggressive and competitive.

I never said it didn't.

You all are saying social conditioning has no influence, and you specifically argued that western culture did not lead to increased violence
-
Those are just not accurate statements.

I think we cannot underestimate the impact of social norms and how we define/redefine them.
