Have you noticed that it is overwhelmingly men to kill people?

[Viva_Daddy]

Perhaps because only women can give birth to people? Jealously?

1. Maybe women know

the amount of work involved in getting somebody to the point where you can kill them.

2. Maybe it's just overwhelmingly men who are arrested for killing people. . .

and women are just more successful at avoiding getting caught?

3. Nah, he's right. For numerous reasons, known and not, women seldom kill.

Yes it does happen, but it is almost never impulsive and warlike. It's an interesting part of women's studies to read the various ideas on why. We're different biochemically, different psychosocially, are trained to be cooperative rather than adversarial, and I think there is something to that theory that, being able to create life, we feel more attached to human beings as worthwhile.

I've worked with adolescent girls in prison so I know how far off track they can be. Young women can be outstandingly mean, but it seldom ends in directly killing. They unfortunately often attach themselves to men who do, so perhaps they're acting out rage by proxy.

4. DNA. In caveman times, the men would be out hunting and killing T-Rex's,

while the womenfolk would stay in the caves, drawing pictures on the walls and stirring the Pterodactyl soup.

Old habits die hard.

5. Men flip around the television more than women.

Men get that remote control in their hands and then they don’t even know what the hell they’re not watching. They flip through the channels – out of control. Women don’t do this. They will stop and go, “Well, let me see what the show is before I change the channel.”

But it’s all evolution, people. Women nest and men hunt. That’s why we watch TV differently.
