      Counterpoint: some of us look at the news and don't wonder. We know too well what's going on with men, and wish we could do more to stop it.

      Oh cobblers. Society already strongly penalises abusive and criminal men & abhors them. The vast majority of men are nothing of the kind.

      Society creates them before it penalizes and abhors them.

      We can certainly work on reducing violent crime but to do that we'd need to focus on criminality, not masculinity.

      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.

          It's crazy to say we have a culture that teaches men to be violent against women & girls.

          We have a culture that teaches men to be violent, period. And it does also have some degree of chivalry thrown in on top of that (1/x)

          No, not period. We have a society which notices that men like physical contests more & when criminal, engage in violence more.

          There is evidence that men cry less easily than women coz of tear duct differences & that they find talking therapy less helpful generally.

          That women are more drawn to social interaction & to finding psychology interesting. And that they find emotionally weak men less attractive

          Also evidence that men do better overcoming mental health problems when presented in terms of honing strengths & abilities.

          There is nothing wrong with gender differences. Men are not broken for less prone to emotional expression & displays of weakness.

          I've had more than one man from the subcontinent brag to me about beating his kids as if it made him superior to American parents.
