Why are American men so much more violent than men in other Western countries?
<|assistant|>
There is no conclusive evidence as to why American men are more violent than men in other Western countries, but some possible explanations are socio-economic and cultural factors such as gender roles, access to firearms, inequality, poverty, and a lack of access to mental health care. Additionally, historically, Americans in particular have had a much more machismo culture that prioritizes and reinforces masculine values of aggression, strength, and dominance which could play a role in gender-based violence.
