Joan Smith says that gang rape is more common than crime statistics suggest, and that it is used by male youth in some cultures to boost their insecure identities. Do you agree?

How does she know? It's the same with the recent stats about how many children have suffered 'abuse' - they just seem to be plucked from thin air (to protect social services jobs?)

If young men seek their structure and learn their values in an all-malegange, often than not it is because the natural father has long since left, leaving a mother to wrestle literally and metaphorically with highly charged adolescent boys. As a society we readily turn on mothers who fail, while invisible birth fathers leave the rest of society at risk by slithering out of their responsibilties altogether.

its so very difficult to explain why humans do not take obvious actions to stop their violence at both individual and group level ? is it to do with the concepts of individual liberty and tolerance toward a degree of violence ? I hope someone will explain ?
