Great post, Butterfly Bill. I'm glad you reposted - been moving and too
busy to do much email.
Your post gave me some deep perspective on the violence issue. A lot of it
starts in childhood and is just given social sanction throughout
adolescence and adulthood. Seems like the violent male who indulges in
aggression is living an unexamined life based on fear and competition.
I think your suggestion of men wearing dresses is a good one. I wonder how
much anti-woman sentiment exists because most men are trained from early on
to suppress their feminine side. It's loosened up a bit as far as men being
allowed to show tender feelings, but in the clothes department, it's still
really segregated and unbalanced. It's acceptable for women to wear all
kinds of men's garb, but men aren't supposed to wear women's clothes. Any
insights on this?
On a tangent - do you think sports is a useful outlet for aggression?
Seems like there's some kind of a male bonding thing that happens in
connection with sports - like it's a 'safe' thing for guys to talk about to
each other. Do you think sports siphons off some of that aggressive
energy, or does it perpetuate aggression?
Just a mini brain buzz ;-).
