>often rooted in the lack of emotional tools us men are given to process anger. We are raised to be "strong" and talking about your feelings is seen as weak Mental/emotional repression and the evolutionary need to appear strong and act on anger with physical violence is influential in many/most types of violence: domestic violence, school yard bullying, common assault, gang violence, police violence, and military violence. Could it be that the root cause(s) of most types of violence -- whether on a micro scale (domestic assault) or a macro scale (war) -- are interrelated?
