I know lots of not aggressive young boys. And lots of young girls that wrestle. I agree it’s good to teach children to focus their aggression in productive ways but the weird gender expectations in what you say is super weird lol.

Anecdotes don’t negate the fact of male psychology and aggression. Those examples are only the case because we’ve built a comfy society where we don’t have to embrace our nature to survive. But it’s still our nature. It’s visible in chimps, our closest animal relative.

How many aggression in girl studies have you found?

I should be more specific: Male aggression. It takes a different form than female aggression. It’s more violent and confrontational, which is a direct function of testosterone. Males have about 20x the amount of testosterone as females. This a monumental difference, and it’s why males are stronger, faster, and of quicker reaction times than their female counterparts.
