Violence?

• If a real man must maintain an appearance of
  emotional invulnerability, he does not have
  societys permission to express himself
  emotionally or receive help. Many males use
  violence (against women as well as against other
  men) as a way to express their frustrations,
  while also living up to the powerful male
  expectation that society idealizes.
