(5,210 posts)Men are a leading cause of death for women.
3 women a day die at the hands of men they thought at one time loved them. So, the entitlement isn't just among the young.
It's something we really need to address as a culture. Hopefully the #MeToo movement will lead into that.

I am so sad by this and all the grievous gun stories. I am OLD.
"Back in the Day" (I am a geezer), individual violence involved horrible fistfights, some knives etc.
For sure, there was terrible group violence ala gay bashing, rapes, lynchings --- but not reported to the general public until recently.
I suspect those were fueled by testosterone as well, as you posit.
Toxic testosterone plus a GUN is the difference between a nasty beating and death.
