Any place else see this?

Keep in mind when I use the term aggression I am talking about degree. The reports that I have read contend that straight men are far more likely to use
violent physical aggression than gay men. Evolutionary psychologists contend that one of the fundumental reasons why straight men committ
more violent acts than straight women is that straight men have more testosterone than straight women. There are reports that assert straight men and gay men have the
same level of
testosterone. Thus, it is puzzling why straight men committ substantially more acts of violent, physical agression than their male counterparts. I would expect
straight men and
gay men to be
equally violent according Darwinian belief.
