There was an article in cnn or Time.com about exactly that ('the overwhelming maleness of mass killings' I think it was called) and of course everyone went into the comments to say "but being a man doesn't mean I'm biologically predisposed to violence!"

And I got to thinking that no, surely not biologically, but what about being socialized for it? The culture of male dominance through violence, etc. I didn't comment because I'm not comfortable having an account in those websites, but it sort of surprised me that no one else had thought to bring it up.

Well in order to admit that large parts of our behaviour are socially programmed, you open the door to a specific, often leftist worldview that many people are either reluctant to hold or outright opposed to. If parts of our behaviour aren't "hardwired", but rather "programmed", they can be changed. Social change is possible. And that disrupts the status quo.

There are many people who would rather eat nails than consider socialization a factor, thusly. (Even those they'll gladly proclaim the benefits of spanking to raising well-behaved children. I'll like to see where that comes from in the "lizard brain" ;p).

especially in a society where taking personal responsibility for our lives and our behaviors is so abhorrent. too many times people want to blame outside forces for the things that go wrong in their lives when it really just comes down to personal responsibility for their actions. they do douchey things and only come up with reasons as to why they did it, none of which involved 'I thought I could get away with it' or 'I just wanted to' or anything that would show they knew what they were doing.
