Not all masculinity. Just the parts that are destructive. The root of it is a failure to teach boys that there's strength in vulnerability.

I would say it in part involves not teaching boys how to deal w/ vulnerability. Some men deny or lash out, need the strength to handle it.
-
And those of us who've seen the paths men take to suicide know not being able to be vulnerable also makes men violent towards themselves.

OK, but is this supported. In some cultures, it is much more acceptable for men to cry & show strong emotion. Is there less violence there?

An Indian family member was telling me that Indian men are much more emotionally expressive than British men but that she's much safer here.

There's always more than one variable. In this case, a cultural difference in the acceptability of violence against women and children.
-
Yes & I'm not sure how this could be any less acceptable in the US or UK? Much longer prison sentences, Have to segregate in prison.

In films, if a woman slaps a man, its funny. If a man slaps a woman, we know he's the villain. It's just not culturally acceptable.

The vast majority of violent crime is done by men. It's a male problem.
