Sure most men don't do these things....but we need to look at those who do. As a group--what factors contribute to such male male behavior?
Did you know that the most recent surveys show that 35% of college age men would rape if they were certain they would not be caught or punished.
The largest percentage of perpetrators on college campuses were fraternity members ir athletic team members.
Similarly, the military is a brotherhood of male bonding where protection against discovery is fairly assured.
We here all know that tribal groups forge intergroup attachments and loyalty through normalizing contempt and dehumanisation of those outside the group.
I think it's time the phenomenon of male bonding and brotherhoods be examined.
