Masculinity and violence....they go together

Mascunlinity and violence have gone together forever.  Why?  Because men have always been in wars, men have always competed against one another in sports, and men statistically commit more violent acts then women.  Men are always taught to compete.  Competing often times leads to violence in one way or another.  I'm not trying to say women do not compete, but I am saying that most men compete more violently then women.  For example: Football.  Although men have always been violent, in the media they seem to be portrayed more violently as time goes on. In the movie/documentary "Wise Guise" there are many examples of change including toys and movies.  In the toys part you see how GI Joes muscles increase as time goes on and in my opinion they look meaner.  Movie examples were from Humphrey Bogart in "Casa Blanca" with a gun to Sylvester Stallon looking like a killing machine.  Well my main point are men are the image of violence because they are more violent and that violence is becoming more drastic in movies and toys for that matter.  Do I think this is effecting society? No.  I believe that it just shows a more accurate depiction on what I would like to see in a toy and on the big screen.  Good day folks.
