Rape, murder, war—they all have one thing in common: Men. Aggression, violence, ambition unchecked by conscience—all the stuff of “toxic masculinity,” right? And, the solution is obvious: Make men less toxic. Make men less masculine. Make men more like women. But I’m here to tell you that this way of thinking is not only wrong,…
Video One: “Toxic masculinity” … Being a man has never been as politically incorrect! Men are being conditioned by media and through politics to be something neither male or female and our boys and men are suffering because of this. Video Two: I follow up on my comment to Gilette’s toxic masculinity ad with a…

Women are more likely to pick fights with their husbands, they are quicker to escalate verbal aggression, and are as likely to use physical aggression as men (1). Despite these counter-intuitive…
“Violent behavior of women varies significantly in the public and private domains. Criminal statistics indicate a relatively low proportion of women among violent offenders in the public domain, while in the domestic and/or private domain statistics reflect almost no gender difference in violent behavior. The following paper proposes a dynamic model which draws upon psychological…
The National Violence Against Women survey found that 21.5 percent of men and 35.4 percent of women living with a same-sex partner experienced intimate-partner physical violence in their lifetimes, compared with 7.1 percent and 20.4 percent for men and women, respectively, with a history of only opposite-sex cohabitation.
