That may be sarcastic, but it does highlight a serious point. This thread is arguing that males are innately more violent. We don't need a debate to establish that. So why debate it? The purpose of debates is to come up with solutions, not to vent frustrations.

The credibility of this debate is questionable considering the far that up to this point, you're the only one to have put forward a solution, even if it's a sarcastic one.

Round the aggressive men up and send them to a deserted island in the South Pacific. Give at 'er and no women or children will get hurt.

Men are inborn more violent than women, that is why historically and literally in every country men do more violent things than women. If a woman is struggling vs. if a man is struggling who is more likely to commit violent crime. The man is infinitely more likely to commit a violent crime.
My solution is if we focus on lowering crime period for men to women's levels, the only way we could honestly lower crime to women's level is if we feminized men. But that in itself leads to huge societal problems.

Men posses a genetic predisposition to be more violent. As someone already pointed out, this is true of most mammals. It's biological.

With that being said, men are also more innovative for genetic reasons. The success of our species is a direct result of some dude figuring out how to make fire, build a shelter, discover the wheel etc. The survival of the human race is more dependent on men for that reason despite the fact that men cause most problems.

Women are biologically for care taking and baby making. It would make no sense for them to engage in violent of risky behavior from an evolutionary perspective.

To lower crime, men must be "feminized"...because crime is masculine...and feminized men are societal problems? Very narrow interpretation.

Violence is only ONE solution to any particular problem - it is the ability to control spontaneous violent energy long enough to come up with another solution that will lower violent crime. Most men, and most PEOPLE, manage to avoid a violent response - not because they necessarily have fewer or lesser violent impulses but because they have other solutions at their immediate disposal.

I believe that that male aggression doesn't need to be removed, but instead harnessed. That natural aggressive drive leads to intense competitiveness, which in itself has been responsible for many of humanities greatest achievements.

If the statistics for blacks, Muslims, illegals et cetera are valid, then the stats for males are valid as well. You can't excuse any if you don't excuse all.

There will always be violence in the world and most of it will always be perpetrated by men. But there is far less violence in today's time then there was in the distant past. Civilization has encouraged men to use that higher level of testosterone in harmless and constructive ways.

So is the violence linked to a genetic marker in male chromosomes? Is it related to testosterone? Is it something else related to the evolution of our species and our role as a hunter in historic perspective.

If females were the dominant gender physically and had the hunter role (e.g. Lionesses) would the crime stats be reversed?
