In support of the rage of man

[Homeless Nutter]

Is someone behaves aggressively often, then aggression is a trait of that person.

If someone sh*ts themselves often, then the smell of excrement is a trait of that person. That doesn't mean there's nothing wrong with them...

And no, unless you want to say that this society and all the others before it were ill, then male aggression isn't an illness.  It's pretty obvious that it's a trait of the males of this species, or at least of the alpha males.

Or perhaps those you think of as "alpha males" were actually mentally ill people, who happened to find a socially accepted outlet for their disorders. Most psychopaths and narcissists think of themselves as "alphas". Many people with anti-social disorder probably do too.

As I mentioned in my first response to you - aggressive behavior can be explained, or "justified" by circumstances. But most of us don't live in small warring tribes, under constant threat of immediate death. Circumstances that cause a neuro-typical person to become enraged are relatively rare. You can act aggressively because you want to - or because you can't help it.

Also - "rage" and "aggression" are not synonyms. You can be an "aggressive" businessman, or a football player. There's no good use for rage anywhere. It's just a negative emotion, in the same way despair is. And if you saw someone who can't help but feel hopeless under circumstances where most people seem to be coping just fine - you wouldn't just say, that it's just their trait and it's "normal", even though there's an infinity of things one could despair over, and there have been miserable people all throughout the history of humankind.
