Thank you Russell. For so many things. I wish you and your family a great break.

Lest our conversation here seems unreasonable, the nutty National Review chimes in (safely via DailyKos).

I like how when men are angry, it tends to come out straightforwardly. Maybe that's an aspie preference?

“this is why men can’t load the dishwasher
that sounds like a mighty convenient line, but I can't even see a plausible mechanism there

We all have different aptitudes. I’d like a world where we could freely explore what they are.
'violent' agreement here

Hard News: Cultures and violence, in reply to Jackie Clark,
Men are more violent than women. Except they're not. Men seem to enact violence in a very different way to women, most of the time. Which is nothing to do with testosterone, and everything to do with what behaviour society condones in each gender. As a teacher of junior citizens, I can tell you that boys are not more violent than girls - and this is anecdata purely - they simply learn that expressing it more physically is more acceptable in their world.
I wouldn't be so 100% sure there's only nurture as an explanation.
Our society tolerates verbal violence over physical. Interestingly there seems a shift in that in family violence circles where men have been verbally violent. Others may know more about the reasoning there.
