(9,709 posts)7. The world may be changing..
but looking to history, and pointing out how these male characteristics, Katz so arrogantly dismisses and blames on the modern media, were used to ensure the survival of human beings as a species, serves to demonstrate how these traits are not learned behavior at all, but are part of who we are as men and always have been..
