violence

For some reason male nature has always been attracted to violence and to continously having to prove their strenght and abilities. It's a "power" thing that has been cheered through the years by society and even by parents.

Males have to fit in a "pattern": they have to be strong, able to stand to adversity and above all, they have to "prove" that they are MEN. Not complying with this profile, it is taken as a sign of weakness and among other things it could make them a target of cruel jokes. Sometimes, it could even create a false reputation that will chase them for the rest of their life, unless of course, they can prove their manhood.
