[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I tried everything I could -no video games, no violent movies or tv, no toy guns or swords or any violent type play at all. Encouraged empathy and peaceful problem solving and anger management (I’m a behavioral scientist). 
Society influences won and he is violent and has assaulted women. 
However, if I hadn’t raised him as I did, I know he’d be 100 x worse. 
I’ve long admired how boys are raised in other cultures, I think our culture in the USA is dangerous. 
We excuse and allow bad behavior and mistreatment of women. 
This is not keeping boys safe, this is pushing them to be violent. [/quote]
I want to thank you for posting. You are getting some nasty comments, but there are SO MANY men who assault women. Probably quite a few of the posters on this thread. They don't want to admit it, or want to blame the woman, but it comes down to the men. They can be raised by great parents, and still end up raping or assaulting someone. It serves no one to brush it under the rug. I'm sorry your son is a predator, it cant be easy to live with that. [/quote]

Disagree with premise. There are not “SO MANY” men who assault women. [/quote]
There are far more men who assault women (and men) than there are women. 80% of violent crimes are committed by men. For sexual crimes? 94%.  I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with.[/quote]

The majority of violent crimes are committed by persistent, repeat offenders.  So no, there are NOT “so many” men out there assaulting women (and men).

Bro, that's sweden. Not USA. [/quote]

Bro you don’t think human beings in Sweden are the same as human beings in the USA?

The results are broadly applicable.  Use your brain, please.[/quote]
Their culture is massively different. I don't think it's comparable to US crimes, no. If you have an article or study on US men I'd be happy to read it. [/quote]

In Sweden, feminism is woven into the lesson plans in national schools.  Sweden has removed offensive / toxic-masculine features such as urinals in restroom (no man “needs” to stand to urinate).

Basically, boys in Sweden are raised to be feminists from birth.[/quote]
