Gay marriage in Utah put on hold

We do teach them it is expected to use violence, while teaching girls it is not expected nor acceptable.

No, we teach them acceptable uses of their violent natures, and when it ain't acceptable.

Don't hit girls! Don't bite your brother! Defend yourself but don't be the aggressor/bully. Protect women and children from violent uncivilized testosteronie males.

Channel their aggression into sports, take them to church to learn self-discipline, teach them to be chivalrous, etc.
 
To the narrow point of homosexual marriage, it was not. To the larger point of whether there is precedent for the federal government limiting the ways in which states define marriage, it was.

The larger point was that it is unconvincing to reassure me that something won't happen in the future because it hasn't happened in the past. There are many examples of things happening now that we have been reassured would never or couldn't happen.

As opposed to girls, whom we teach that it is never acceptable to use their violent nature. Both boys and girls have violent natures. We train one in it, and the other out of it.

One has more testosterone, though.

I wasn't reassuring you. I was informing you that the eventual ruling of universal homosexual marriage is inevitable, and has precedent in other SCOTUS actions.
 
Men also have different testosterone levels from each other. Is there any evidence connecting testosterone levels to a propensity to violence?

There are some contraditions in many of the findings, but yes there is a possible link between agression and testosterone. Not only that but the possibility for agression to be effective is much higher with higher levels of testosterone because there is a definitive link between testosterone and muscule mass and social dominance.

I think that the increased success of aggression makes complete sense.

How do you tease out the feedback effects of success through aggression on aggression level with the notion that the increased aggression is innate, especially given that the results seem contradictory?
