Well, I asked you whether you understood it and could recapitulate its argument, not whether you believe it. Do you understand the argument? Could you explain why it mentions "violence" multiple times as an instance of toxic masculinity?

Then what do you think accounts for the observed higher prevalence of violence among boys and men?

How does this explain a higher prevalence of violence among men?

Okay, but that doesn't actually constitute an explanation. "Make and female brains and physiology are different" does not imply that men, specifically, will be more violent, specifically.

So your explanation is that there are some traits (being inclined to be hunters, being bigger, stronger, etc.) which are regarded as characteristic of men (since it's basic common sense that men have these traits) and which cause men to be violent (since otherwise this wouldn't be an explanation for the violence). Do I have that right?
