do men have a problem that needs addressing?


people shouldnt be pointing out facts like this , it only spreads hate and division
Bullshit, accepting that too high a level of testosterone is a factor in violent crime will help to recognise and diagnose more cases for which there is effective treatment resulting in less suffering for both perpetrators and victims.

Taking all forms of ASPD (Psychopaths, Sociopaths, Narcissists) men are 4 times more like to be diagnosed as such.
Aye theyre always picking on us and trying to control, label & define us 😉
Plus thats just one PD, women get more borderline diagnosis

Aye. Because it is. Both not right mind.

Son, you can't go about squeezing lasses on the arse! But that lass yday squeezed mine. Aye well that's different. Why? It just is.

Suppose you did say both are wrong tbf (presumably you see both as lesser examples of sexual assault).
 
Let me also add, that the person copping a feel is physically much bigger and stronger than you and quite capable of overpowering you.
Interesting topic. I wonder how much sexual assault goes on by men and to men and how much gets reported.

Many years ago I had gay friends and went to a gay club with them. I was very young. I was sexually assaulted by much larger men who clearly picked on me because I was young. It was a horrible experience. The thought never even entered my head to report it.

Pretty sure my imaginary son would already know that tbf. It's pretty basic stuff. I'd be disappointed if he'd still needed telling in his teenage years.

Would your imaginary son know its not acceptable that a lass grabs his arse?

I’ve no idea tbh, a similar thing happened to me and it’s very intimidating and unpleasant. I was just referencing it to frame how upsetting unwanted physical attention can be and I’d wager the occurrence of male on male assaults are dwarfed by male on female assaults, both in physical terms and per capita.
 
Its a human thing rather than a societal thing, I think there are studies that say women are on average less prone to impulsive behaviour and take long term consequences of their actions into account more than men do.

I'd guess its something to do with them being evolutionarily wired to consider falling pregnant/ raising children, whereas blokes are wired to fire their beans into any available woman and not think of the consequences.

I'd also guess that those figures will be broadly the same across all countries and cultures, and probably relatively consistent over time.

To be honest it's amazing how civilised we are given we spent thousands of years living like little more than clever and slightly organised apes.

Either that or women need to up their game in the crime stakes to reach parity with men.

Sorry to hear it mate. I'd be comfortable betting male on female assaults are significantly higher. If anything, I felt the experience gave me just a glimpse of what women have to put up with.
 
You're on thin ice here. Kids still need to be taught acceptable boundaries as some recent high-profile stories have shown. If they're acting outside those boundaries they're a sex pest.
Thin ice? Give ower. Ya can teach boundaries without putting a teenager on the nonce jotter.

Let's be clear what we're talking about here. Kids, working out the opposite sex and the boundaries between them. One minute it's kissy catchy in the primary school playground, the next it's an awkward/daft error in judgement in the corridor. Educate certainly, but don't get the pitchforks out just yet ffs.
 
That's exactly what should happen. But don't vilify kids as sex pests.

They still need boundaries and need to be taught that they can't go around sexually touching other people. The author of the Times article seemed to think it was normal behaviour for boys to be touching girls as some kind of rite of passage and girls should just put up with it. That's wrong IMO.
