I bitch about this missing from conversations every time there is another tragedy and everyone looks at the different factors that contribute to these crimes. Hardly ever is gender brought up. Is it due to everyone already knowing that men commit most of the violent crimes? Is it an automatic assumption and no one thinks we can do anyone about testosterone so why even bother discussing it as something to address in helping to reduce the crimes? Is it because men are still in control of the delivering the message in the media, politics, business, etc?
