Document Summary

(oct 24) hate crimes and the gay panic defence . Hate crimes and the gay panic defence . Undoubtedly, men around the world have made outstanding contributions to medicine, sports, education, entertainment, science, justice etc. However, from interpersonal violence to genocide to terrorism, many violent harms are the product of some men and some of their masculinities. How many women participated in the mass murders that occurred at columbine on april. Without a doubt men"s involvement in all types of violent crime greatly exceeds that of women. It definitely isn"t mental illness, given the high rates of partner assault and other acts of violence. Note, too, that men are not intrinsically violent, because some societies are more likely to teach violence to men than others. So if boys will be boys, they will be so differently, depending on their social class, position and race, and numerous other factors.
