We're taught to suppress our anger, so it leaks out in passive aggressive bullshit, like slagging people off behind a flock, or scribbling on fandom's toilet walls (fandom_wank, the anon Who meme, etc). Of course, dick measuring contests aren't much better, but at least boys and men are expected to get their aggression out into the open and resolve it.
