History of Feminism

The harm this little line can do is clear, but another under-reported consequence is that if anger and aggression are painted as normal male behaviours, men are not inclined to find appropriate ways to channel their emotions, which can sometimes lead to self medication or alcohol abuse. That’s not to say we don’t rebel against male violence (we do, calling it out when it spills on to the streets), but the root cause of it (we’ve taught boys to be boys) is almost never discussed. Ultimately, nothing changes.
