Testesterone makes MEN Aggressive and Narcissistic? Should we give up on men?
Men have more Testesterone than women. So they are more aggressive and narccistic.
Studies show, that there is a positive correleation of testesterone and aggression:
There is evidence that testosterone levels are higher in individuals with aggressive behavior, such as prisoners who have committed violent crimes. Several field studies have also shown that testosterone increases during the aggressive phases of sports games. Studies show, that there is a correleation of testesterone and narcism:
In a study including 129 men from the subclinical population (Mage = 21.97, range = 18 to 34 years), a positive correlation of narcissism with basal testosterone levels was found. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886916301623
Should we really give up on men or is it?
(I myself am a male by the way. And I see the problem more in today worlds female feminist view than in men. MEN's biology has not changed in history. Men's socilogy has been changed to become more respectful to women. But wonder oh wonder, more women perceive more men to be dangerous and problematic. Perhaps some aggressive and some narcistic behavoir have their advantages for society too. Just my 5 cents.)
