No one needs to "prove" an obvious correlation. Why do people have such a hard time spotting root causes? The root cause here is obviously testosterone levels.

No one needs to "prove" an obvious correlation. Why do people have such a hard time spotting root causes? The root cause here is obviously testosterone levels. There will be a precise correlation if anyone were to bother to check.

I'm guessing you are trolling, but this is a terrible take. Insert meme of Homer Simpson: "Everyone is stupid except for me"[1] If you're interested on the subject, Robert Sapolsky has studied and written about Testosterone extensively. He has some videos up on Youtube as well as several books. [1]: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ZzMAAOSwscVlpdzW/s-l1200.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/ZzMAAOSwscVlpdzW/s-l1200.jpg

  Ah, you went and did the ackchyually meme. Way to go.

    He had to [intentionally?] misread the word "people" as if I'd said "all people" in order to be able to justify his rude response. Anyway, even at slightly above average IQ that makes me smarter than 4 billion humans. So yeah...."all of them". And I did use "all" that time. lol. It's so easy to make fun of people who can't even read.

> The root cause here is obviously testosterone levels. This is a patently absurd observation and you didn't even bother to offer an anecdote, as if that would make a difference anyways.

    The existence of an exception to a general rule doesn't disprove the rule. Most every "general rule" has notable exceptions that you can find if you look. But until you demonstrate that girls outnumber boys in terms of violent tendencies, you'll have to accept my rule as true and your exception as...an exception.

      Fine, I’ll try again: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide_statistics_by_gender https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide_statistics_by_gende... ”… found that men account for an average of 95% of all persons convicted of homicide, and almost 8 out of 10 of the victims”

        If you look back at this discussion you'll notice we were in agreement the whole time (you and me anyway). lol. It's men with the Testosterone, and it's the Testosterone that causes aggressive behaviors as well.

        Ah. I don't know why men take that so offensively. It's like, okay, men have a testosterone issue, keep an eye on it (we are all a work in progress).

        The only people who are offended by these biological facts about Testosterone are the progressive far-left woke types. You know, the ones who invented the term "Toxic Masculinity" which was at one time taken seriously, but is now considered quite comical. Sure an overabundance of that molecule leads to "issues" (roid rage, etc), but a normal amount of it is why we crossed the oceans to find a new land, fought to defend ourselves in wars, landed on the moon, and every other thing that people with little drive would never have done. So I don't consider "maleness" a flaw, and anyone who does has a mental disorder.
