Male aggression comes I think from wanting something but not getting it.

Yes i can understand That.
But is that the full story?
For many that would engender just frustration or disappointment rather than anger. So could male overreaction be part of the problem?
- Males biologically and genetically are surely here to protected the female and children and to provide for them. Yet there seems to be a lot of occasions when this does not happen often to a criminal degree. How come this aggression so obviously against our own genetic interests?
- Males tend to need status and position in a group. Typically males define themselves as their job, unlike females who seldom seem to. The first question a male asks strange, or just met 'other', is, "What do you do?". Would threats to this status engender aggression?
- Would loosing said job lead to confusion, self-loathing and anger with self thus leading to aggression and/or depression?
- Role models. What effect does this have? "My Dad taught me to box" "My hero is Some ape like footballer". Violent video or media. Violent religions like Judaism Islam and Christianity. Violet societies (Russia? Iraq, New Guinea, Africa (bits of), Afghanistan, USA?). If one cannot relate to this violence does that make for social displacement, anger and depression?
