Document Summary
For most part, violence is a men"s issue. Issues get framed as youths and kids killing kids when mast majority are commited by boys. Blame these issues on substance issues, lead, parent"s issues etc but girls are in the same environment. 98% of violence against women is commited by men. Rather than looking at why men commit the crimes, they associate it with a women"s issue. Subordinate group is always focused on, never dominant group. Blame men"s violence on testosterone: boys will be boys , hormonal balances make men more violence than girls . Human behavior is a product of many factors: culture, family, media. African americans oten develop a cool pose to prove they are sill men regardless of what they are missing in their life poor. Blame school shooings on mental illnesses (majority is men) but women experience mental illnesses too: need to ind the root of the cause.
