Most men who are abusive are likely abusive due to having been circumcised as infants. If you look at America, it is a society where many of the males were circumcised as infants where they screamed in agony. Think about how much anger that causes someone. Also America is constantly at war, that too is probably related to male circumcision. Male circumcision also causes men to hate women.

@DeepGreenResistance i just got the book. i haven't gotten to the "plan of action" part, yet...but, no spoilers. i'll get there.

the strangest thought went through my mind as i read the preface...

[DeepGreenResistance]

Deep Green Resistance (DGR) is a movement based on the book, co-authored by Derrick Jensen, called Deep Green Resistance: Strategy to Save the Planet. DGR has a plan of action for anyone determined to fight for this planet-and win. If you've ever been inspired by Derrick's work, then here's where the solutions are. The time for action is now. No more ineffective actions - piecemeal, reactive, and sad. Now this war has two sides. Learn how to join the resistance:

> ... his two volume masterpiece Endgame. Great concepts there.

D'ACCORD.

and for further reading i'd suggest especially "DEEP GREEN RESISTANCE" (2011, with Aric McBay & Lierre Keith), and "The Culture of MakebeLIEve" (2002), and "What We Leave Behind" (2009, with Aric McBay) -- and (maybe as a REALLY-green X-mas present?!) the grafics novel "As the World Burns: 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Stay in Denial" (2007, with Stephanie McMillan) !

Excellent clip, thanks so much for uploading this. Very interesting. The book he's talking about, "Why Does He Do That; Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men" is a great book.

Thanks for bringing some attention to these important ideas; I look forward to checking out the upcoming documentary.

For those interested in learning more about Derrick's interesting ideas I would suggest checking out the 20 premises to his two volume masterpiece Endgame. Great concepts there.
