Its an objective fact among every country that publishes crime statistics. These countries all vary widely in every other metric you can imagine (social, economic, political etcetera). But, crime being disproportionately commited by men is a universal constant. Nobody has an objectively correct answer to this question, it’s just a prompt for discussion. Share your opinion, whatever it may be. However, please don’t be a dick to other commenters. Disagreement, good faith, many view points and discussion is the goal here.
I think a mix of factors, the ones I think about are:
There is often no fallback. After a certain point there is no one to take care of you so if you fail your options quickly run thin. This leads to feeling increased pressure to do high risk activities.
I also think men value their lives less. There is a certain line of thought that is in every mans head where they are pissed off and they look at their life and they look at what they’re pissed off at and they think “What if I just threw it all away to destroy that thing” at least I could say my life was useful. For most men this check fails because their lives are decent but for people on the bink I can see them thinking its worth to trade their life to take someone elses. If I were in the US i’d probably trade my life for Trump’s if I thought i could do it.
Biology, higher propensity for taking extreme risks, tolerance for violence, physically stronger on average, mentally mature slower, wider distribution across the iq bellcurve. We grow up fighting each other for fun, we see and learn about millions of us dying in wars, we see how failures are treated in society, we see a lot of media showing ‘failures’ lashing out at society.
Yeah I mean at the very beginning men are born more frequently than women. In high school they explained that as men are more likely to participate in deadly activities. You gave a well thought out answer with a lot of things I think are accurate and relevant, thanks!
More males are conceived, but more are miscarried, more are stillbirths, more die in childhood, young adulthood and middle age, and by the time you are my age there are more women than men. I think some of that is XX conferring resistance to some genetic diseases though.
