You truly underestimate male supremacy, and its universality. No, I'm certain that testosterone has ziltch to do with male violence. And if you believe that, aren't you offering men an excuse for their violence, as A. Dworkin and countless other radical feminists warned repeatedly. (and you're just seeing men in the same way men see women (and Jews and blacks) as biologically inferior beings who have little control over their actions. women as children men as violence-prone

I don't know any males who think that men are better than females. And trust me...they would have told me if that was the case. That's not to say that male supremacy doesn't exist, but it's not as common as you suggest. Feel free to back it up your assertion with some studies.

"No, I'm certain that testosterone has ziltch to do with male violence" Really, you're certain? You think you know better than empirical, objective evidence? In that case, I'm not going to waste anymore of my time here, apart from to point out one thing:

"if you believe that, aren't you offering men an excuse for their violence"

No, being naturally more aggressive than another person doesn't excuse violence, in the same way that having a high sex drive doesn't excuse rape. People can control their urges.

I can't believe how this is getting more upvotes then the person refuting this. Like, come on, read some SCIENCE academic papers on the topic of testosterone and violence. Why do we quote science and biology against trans people, but then dismiss science and biology when it comes the testosterone and violence link?

Just because there is a link, doesn't mean it is the ONLY contributing factor.
