[...] Beside the overwhelming evidence for male dangerousness we also find overwhelming evidence that men actually control their dangerousness when it suits them.
The picture of the man who just can’t help his nature is peddled by patriarchal apologists: The poor man was nagged and mocked by his shrew of a wife and couldn’t take it anymore. The poor man only follows his evolutionary instinct and raped her to assert his dominance. The poor man is the victim of political oppression, he just had to attack women to cope with his feeling of powerlessness. But women’s experiences make it very clear that men are highly selective towards whom they are ″losing control″.
Abusive men don’t attack their nagging and mocking male bosses with their fists. They don’t ambush their male boss on the toilet and rape him to get back at him. When they are oppressed and exploited, they don’t kick the boss from one corner of his office to the other. When their favourite team loses, they are not seeking out the quarterback to use him as a punching bag for their frustration. In a crowded train, they are not driven by some evolutionary instinct to go for the throat of their fellow male who enters their personal space or bares his teeth to them.
Men also are perfectly able to dose their violence. Male violence against women and children follows an escalating cyclic pattern. The escalation is a conscious strategy: How much will she be able to take? How far can I go? How many of my depraved fantasies can I make come true? (We observe the same deliberate escalation in sadomasochism. It is embraced there as ‘slave training’.)
Men are planning their crimes and they are able to cover them. Losing control is adverse to both. Someone who loses control does not build an air-tight terror regime in his own home, by and by cutting off his wife’s and children’s means of refuge and lowering the bar of ″reasons″ for his violent outbursts. Someone who loses control does not take upon him the logistics of building torture chambers or digging up graves. Someone who loses control does not buy a new hammer before he goes out again and again to prey on women.
Men can control themselves just fine. They make the active choice to act on the impulses their faulty nature gives them. [...]
'Males are protectors & providers' is one of the greatest lies.
I agree with the post.
BUT. Even if men "cAn'T hELp iT" or caused by "trauma/daddy issues/mental health issues" those aren't a reason for us to accept all the bad treatments and dangers.
My family rescued a lot of dogs over the years. One pup, only about 3 months old, showed symptoms of dumb rabies (the docile kind of rabies) a few days after she was rescued. She was a sweet little pup before she showed the symptoms. Still, we kept her in quarantine. She passed away peacefully a few days later and the test result showed that she indeed was rabid.
Imagine if we gave her the same treatment women expected to give to dangerous men. "It's unfair to deprive her from contact with other dogs," (give men a chance!!!)"she's docile, the symptoms might be of something else" (playing it down), "it isn't her fault for contacting rabies" (he can't help it), "[insert dog name] wants to play with her, just let him/her!" (you're asking for it).
Our other dogs, and even my family members, would have died from rabies.
People who abuse will punch down, because they can't punch up.
men are plain evil and people refuse to see that.
