Are today’s standards for being a ‘real man’ leading to violence against women?

<https://theconversation.com/are-todays-standards-for-being-a-real-man-leading-to-violence-against-women-48189>

"From an early age, boys are socialised to regard manhood as a revered
and desired social status. This is because, across most cultures, there
is a consistent belief that a “real man” is powerful, dominant,
assertive, and in control."

Via Muse, who added:

"And this is why movements like the Bronies need to be lauded rather
than mocked and standard portrayals of masculinity need to be mocked not
lauded. Let's get our values straight!"
