2. The US needs to get a handle on our culture of toxic masculinity.

Parents, especially fathers need to teach their sons at the earliest ages that fighting and bullying are wrong. This whole concept of "boys will be boys" is utter nonsense. Some of the most inspiring men I've known and met throughout my life wouldn't hurt any animal let alone another human.

We culturally support violence of men. Look at how we salivate over fights at hockey games and the brutality of football, or boxing matches.
