[quote=Anonymous]There is remarkably little popular understanding of male psychology in the world today. Men are highly visible in public, but discussions about men tend to be externally focused. The inner, emotional, world of men is a black box compared to the volumes that are written about women.

If you look at the animal kingdom, you will often see a pattern of a small minority of high status males with a "harem" of females. Lower status males are either killed, driven off, or are able to stay with the group, but as a lower status and typically unable to mate.

There is still an element of this in human psychology. Wage inequality is much greater among males than females. High status males have disproportionate amounts of resources and power, just as they do in other species.

Males are born at a slightly higher rate than females, even though women are the reproduction bottleneck (due to being only able to carry one child at a time, excluding twins, etc.). There is a dark reason for this -- low status males have traditionally been killed off by war and by resource competition. Low status males are regarded as the dregs of society (prison, homeless, outcasts, etc.).  Male social status is typically more precarious and competitive. [/quote]
