This problem of adverse male brain-pattern thinking begins at a very early age when one generation of adult males passes on derogatory language usage about & towards sisters, mothers & daughters. This includes any other female members of the human "tribe". This begins with the toleration of obscene language towards or around women. This includes telling off-color jokes, comments or belittling females. This is amplified in male sports environments, commonly referred to as "locker-room" talk. If a "real man" takes a stand against any of this demeaning male culture, he will quickly be singled out for ostracizing & belittlement from peers! There then follows, "spousal/relationship & child abuse"...This male bulling mentality is then manifested in the workplace abuse as well.
