ARE MOST MEN AGGRESSIVE?

I wanted to focus on a discussion of how men are seen as more aggressive than men which is not always true that is a stereotype that needs to die. In the fight for equality we must accept the truth and also face the facts men and women are equal and neither holds the advantage over the other at least not in this world. What is between your legs dose not determine your life and what can and cannot do. People must put sexism to sleep and let it die for all eternity and face the fact men and women can do the same thing. That includes the good with the bad.

Most people when you ask them who they think is more aggressive they will say men without hesitation. But in fact, is it more equal than people think yes men are quicker to fight and have a tendency to be more aggressive in talking and physical engagements. Also, yes men statically have more violent acts but women also engage in aggression some times its smaller but nevertheless impactful. Also, just who is filling out the report and giving information on how many crimes or violent act women are engaged in?

According to author Thomas Denson, “Women tend to engage in more indirect forms of aggression (e.g., spreading rumors) than other types of aggression. In laboratory studies, women are less aggressive than men, but provocation attenuates this difference. In the real world, women are just as likely to aggress against their romantic partner as men are, but men cause more serious physical and psychological harm. A very small minority of women are also sexually violent. Women are susceptible to alcohol-related aggression, but this type of aggression may be limited to women high in trait aggression. Fear of being harmed is a robust inhibitor of direct aggression in women. There are too few studies, and most are underpowered to detect unique neural mechanisms associated with aggression in women.”

Also, according to author Robert Gebelhoff, “ A study recently published by the National Bureau of Economic Research shines some fascinating historical light on this question. The paper looked at female rulers of European countries from 1480 to 1913 (including 193 reigns in 18 different polities) and whether their countries ever engaged in military conflict. As it turns out, women have a pretty bad record as peace-keepers: Queens were 27 percent more likely than kings to participate in inter-state conflicts.”

From the two authors above women tend to hide their aggression more well than men and society allows that. In the fight for equality if we are to reach true equality women and men must be honest with each other and it must be realized men and women are capable of good and bad.
