Good Question

Why are men more likely to send hate mail?

I can't say for certain, but it could be related to how, when I was a child, whenever I expressed any kind of anger or said that I hated something, I was immediately admonished. It was unseemly to be angry, and I should never say I hate something, I should say I "dislike" it. Meanwhile, boys could get away with murder and might get an annoyed admonition to "cut it out," which was only uttered after the umpteenth example of aggressive behavior and which was never followed up with actual action.

Men are allowed to be angry and violent; women are not.
