This is a pic of me and my little brother. “Boxing” is promoted to boys much more than to girls and is considered a violent sport. This special needs 8 year old has a huge collection of toy guns, bats, and boxing gloves. Violence is without a doubt more promoted for boys.
Dexter is one of the TV shows that really captures the essence of male violence. We have this guy named Dexter, who is a blood analyst in Miami PD. At night he hunts down criminals and kills them brutally, featuring blood. Each season has one main serial killer who is equally, if not more violent [...]
UFC is the largest mixed martial arts promotion company in the world and the highly popular sport is watched by millions. The sport highlights the physical abilities of the male fighters capturing all essences of the battle. These men are constantly leaving the octagon bloodied with injuries ranging from broken bones to lacerations on the [...]
There are around 27 million people enslaved all around the world. Of this number most of the victims are known to be women and children. When we think of/see/talk about victims of human trafficking we do not see men. Women are the ones being sold and exploited while men are the ones who are doing [...]

Video games! Most of the time if a video game is violent, the main characters are men. This video is a live action trailer for MW3 and it shows the soldiers being very violent with guns, etc. Games like this are part of the debate over whether or not violent video games have any connection [...]
