In your text, the authors write: "The phrase 'boys will be boys' is often used to justify behavior such as pushing, shoving, or other forms of aggression from young boys." Jackson Katz opens up the film with a series of rather staggering statistics, including 99% of rapes are committed by men, 90% of murders are committed by men, and 61 out of the 62 most recent mass shootings have been committed by men. How are these facts related to the text's explanation of gender?
a) These statistics support the idea that aggression is inherent in male biology
b) They disprove the text's assertion about gender and aggression
c) The statistics reinforce the idea that gender norms influence behavior
d) They suggest that men are not responsible for acts of violence
