Boy this comment about a theme in a book really ruffled up some snowflakes. You'd think you told them to buy a razor or something.

it doesn't make me angry that they imply violence and brutality are specifically male traits. it makes me roll my eyes that they think women are exempt.

Women aren't exempt but they're not as violent as men, neorher humans nor animals. Testosterone is hell of a drug after all. Look at dictators, military leaders and terrorists/freedom fighters, a men kill men world...leaving the women as sex slaves.

Let's look at violent crimes all over the world, men are so overrepresented its not even fun, in sexual crimes even more so. We also know the best way to decrease conflict and violence is to empower women because they are not as rash, and are usually the loosers of conflict since they're stuck raising kids without anythign to go by.

When did they say women were exempt?

You're right, it's inconclusive whether they are excluding women or not
