It's readily apparent everywhere around you- in the news everyday - and if it's not, why did the APA just spend 13 years crafting new guidelines to address the problems caused by this? The fact that you saying something as stupidly deflective as NotAllMen is also proof.

NotAllMen is a cop-out response as I've already spent way too much time making clear to you - both in the OP and in the comments. It doesn't matter whether you personally do any of these things - if you aren't actively countering and challenging the prevailing norms that boys and men are demonstrably socialized into that drive violence, that drive rape, that drive all sorts of other anti-social behaviors linked to male socialization then you are complicit because you allow for and tolerate that culture. WE HAVE THE CULTURE THAT WE TOLERATE! Men have a much higher likelihood of being able to shift problematic norms of masculinity than women do. End of story. I don't have any more time to waste going round and round with you on this when you are insisting on being purposely obtuse.
