>on the other hand I've yet to meet a woman that punches holes in drywall when they're mad, I've had 2 male roommates that have This is basically my point. Adult women can live together, adult men cannot.

  I'm a man, and had wonderful experiences with my many (mostly male) roommates, with only occasional hiccups. Saying adult men cannot live together seems pretty excessive.

    they can but it's inherently riskier, especially with a woman involved

  You are basically dead wrong about adult men not being able to live together. I don’t know where you’re getting your information from, but I am an adult man who has lived most of his adult life with other adult men, and I have fucking loved it. I spent my 20s living with two of my best male friends and those were some of the best years of my life! Plus, I know you probably don’t mean it this way, but - your phrasing basically invalidates every same-sex partnership. Again, here I have spent the last ten years living with my partner, and we are both of us adult men. Clearly adult men can live together. I think that maybe you just need to meet better men - your beliefs about gender stink.

Bad male behavior is generally a bit more threatening and unpleasant to be around. But, I’ve also lived with good male friends, and with male strangers that ended up being great. I mean, we didn’t twerk together. But it was fun to have a guy to plop down on the couch and watch play videogames, talk about Romans with, or whatever other male-coded quirkiness you want to pull up. We often say “normalize <whatever>” to the point where it has become a bit of a trite phrase. But, there’s a lot of social pressure for men to be isolated. We should normalize living with your bros. It shouldn’t just be the wall-punchers that live together. (I mean, it isn’t).
