While I don't think that many of the young men I've encountered would «bite the usherette's
leg in the dark» or «rub a pot roast all over his chest» during a family dinner (let alone kill a girl at the junior prom only to «dig up her body and make a cage with her bones») I do think - as the astonishing
popularity of the book Raising Cain demonstrates — that we need to do a better job in terms of dealing with the free - floating and widespread anger felt
by the males in our culture.
