Or is it an issue of women becoming more empowered and males relenquishing some
of the power. This, too, has an impact on our own self-efficacy.

As usual, Craig, you bring such honest insight to issues. Thanx. As to
my reaction to your question regarding the "why" of violence as
unowned male issue when the math/science underrepresentation issue
has been recognized- I think that violence and power in its purest
negative forms have been glorified for males as a part of the cruel hoax
of sex roles in this country. Males are constantly expected to show
power as control over things/people or their very identity as male is
challenged. This sick message is coming home to haunt us all. The
math/science "thing" is easier to acknowledge- It's cerebral, theoretical
and not so bound in identity issues for males. Anyhow, that's my
"take".....
