Male violence and aggression are more likely to occur in

A) matriarchal societies.
B) patriarchal societies.
C) egalitarian societies.
D) authoritarian societies.

Patriarchal societies tend to be male-dominated, with men holding more power and authority than women. This power imbalance can contribute to male aggression and violence as a means of asserting dominance and control over others. In contrast, matriarchal societies, where women hold more power and authority, may be less likely to exhibit male violence and aggression. Egalitarian societies, where there is a more equal distribution of power between men and women, may also experience less male violence and aggression. Authoritarian societies, characterized by strict rule and control by a single authority, may contribute to violence and aggression in both men and women due to the oppressive nature of the system.
