Take out societal influence and upbringing. Are men generally instinctually protective or instinctually abusive/violent towards women?

I would argue that most men are instinctually protective and caring towards women vs. abusive/violent.

If they weren’t then the majority of women living 200+ years ago would of been consistently raped, beaten, abused by men. Even though that was much more common back then I will never believe the majority of women suffered that on a grand scale. Most men don’t naturally enjoy harming women.

Sure “patriarchy” was the law of the land for most of human history. But I truly believe most men have are instinctually protective over women and wanted them to be happy. They didn’t see them as “slaves” either. They would be like this WITHOUT feminism.

Now allowing women in the work force, leadership, positions of power is a different topic. Of course that was a major issue for most of humanity. But I am really fed up with feminists who believe that men in general would all act on their débase and violent instincts if given the opportunity. Fed up with their false belief that all men are “potential rapists”

Most men aren’t like that no matter what time era they lived and/or if they had to face punishment for their bad behavior or not.

Instinctually more protective/caring

Instinctually more violent/abusive

By Intelligent Design, men have more testosterone hormone and supposedly are more aggressive. All humans, without a restraining force, whether it be Spiritually, Morally, and/or Law, are capable of great violence as individuals or nations.

Choice is the deal as genes 🧬 do not eliminate Free Will. Whether one chooses or chooses not Evil is on man and woman individually.

Yeah but humans do generally have an impetus to act ethically. If we didn’t civilization would of never developed. It be guns and roses “welcome to the jungle” non stop. The whole world be savages.

Of course it might of been like this during the cave man days but there is a reason why order, organization and civilization was developed. A few thought of it and but most people wanted to follow it.

Just because men have impulses and more testosterone doesn’t we don’t know right from wrong. I also believe we instinctually know right from and wrong and instinctually are more delicate around women. Not all men of course but most men.
