LOl at those stats.
Ever seen your sister hit a man,throw things at him,he fights back then HE gets arrested?
Ever seen a male report 'RAPE" to the cops?
Ever had a hard plastic cup thrown at you by your mother and then lying the next day at school when a friend ask?
Granted those are on a smaller scale, but overall it comes down to the individual(intellect really) ,regardless of sex.
From my experience,its the females who usually start the fight with the man finishing it.
Do I agree with that?No, but perhaps society needs to change.
We'll never know on the leadership part of it because women have never lead anything(country wise)

You forget Golda Meir, who led Israel to victory in the Yom Kippur War in 1973, and whom David Ben-Gurion called "the only man in my cabinet."
And Queen Elizabeth I, who is famously quoted as saying to her soldiers and sailors at Tilbury before the attack of the Spanish Armada:
"I know I have the body of a weak, feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field."
Physical strength is one thing. Courage and leadership are another. I'm no fan of Hillary Clinton, but I'd feel a lot more confident with her facing Putin than I do with our current President.
I'm a man 39 years old who was a product of a single mother for most of my childhood and unfortunately also a foster child at one point for a few years along with my sisters. I don't have a criminal record not even a speeding ticket and i've been driving 22 years now. Life is not A or B.
No, life is not A or B. There are always exceptions.
But men are biologically more prone to violence and aggression because of testosterone.
But humans also have reasoning, the ability to control their behavior, and many other things affecting their behavior. Still, testosterone is testosterone.
At least that's my understanding. I read a statement a year or two ago by a female undergoing sex change to male. She (he?) stated that after getting testosterone shots, she now understands why some men are so aggressive and angry.
This happens throughout the animal world. Hormones. That's what makes the world go 'round.
These criminals, jailbirds, violent offenders are products of single mothers. Fact. You want to screw up a little boy: remove the father. But that's not politically-correct talk is it?
k.
Single motherhood has just risen to prominence.
Male violence and criminality...thousands of years.
You are entitled to your beliefs. I happen to believe Islam is evil, violent, and barbaric. Therefore, they are more likely to produce thoes kinds of men- plain and simple. As for blacks- most don't have a father in the home to set an example- so they turn to bad examples that promote violence. Also, not having a father causes a lot of internal anger, and coupled with a lack of coping skills- violence is often the outcome. I never said white men are not violent- just less likely to be.
You may find this hard to believe you but I agree with you on this entire post with my own clarification on your last point. True, WM are less likely to be physically violent in the same numbers that BM are in the ghettos and Middle Eastern men are who want to be true to Islam are.
However, I think you want to point out the violence of those men and not consider the violence of WM. WM's violence when not in wartime tends to be sexual in nature. Kidnapping, keeping sex slaves, raping and murdering little girls are one part of that equation. While these type of violent men number less than BM who kill each year, there is other type that commits the larger equation of sexual violence via incest. The child porn rings range anywhere from 95-100% composed of WM.
This is a taboo family crime and most cases go unreported to law enforcement. The number of victims that self-report in any meeting of White women when the question is asked, half or more will raise their hand. Most admit that it started when they were extremely young such as 3, 4, 5 years old. The second largest age range that it happens to are the tweens, and lastly teenagers.
They all say that it was committed by a father, step-father, grandfather, brother, uncle, or trusted family friend (White males). Yes, it's a universal violent act committed by males in every society in the world but as you pointed out how certain males react to living in poverty differently so do certain men when it's comes to committing sexual violence of incest.
I agree with OP that violence is male. Not that every male commits violence or the same type of violence but when violence is committed it's almost always done by a male. That is the rule. The exception is rare, when it's committed by a woman.

Women simply aren't prosecuted to the same degree as men. In fact, women get off scot-free constantly. Those statistics are flawed.
Even if men do still commit more crime you have to remember how much pressure is on the male gender. We are not on the top like people bandy about. We aren't allowed to express ourselves, we are expected to hold the world's weight on our shoulders, and we are always the bad guy even when we aren't.
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.

Feminist culture has created more male criminals.
And we are really in the subservient role when it comes to making. At least in this day and age, women do the majority of the choosing of sexual partners. Men, in general, are less discriminating when it comes to whom to have sex with. Culturally it is the men who have been expected to be the initiator, but the women are far more likely to say no then the guys are.

Margaret Thatcher and Indira Gandhi are two other relatively recent examples of strong and successful female wartime leaders.

All I have to say is that if you are going to blame feminist culture then explain why has the violent crime rate been at its lowest in decades? The world and this country was more violent 100 years ago compared to today.
