When I mentioned the "lizard brain", it's not in any way trying to make an excuse for bad behavior. I'm actually incensed about all those Native American women who are missing and totally ignored by the public. I just have looked for a reason why people do things. And the "people" I was talking about was NOT the kidnappers, sex traffickers, or murderers. (I would gladly pull the string that sends them directly to hell.) I was talking about the rest of humanity. NOT anybody who would do any of those things.

Why do we fixate on Gabby, and ignore all those other victims? There has to be a reason. We are generally good and do manage to not do evil stuff, even if our hormones generate some pretty nasty fantasies. Is it testosterone poisoning?

But I see a lot of posting on the internet about "Karens": Women who behave badly. I suspect there is a lot of misogyny driving this.

My single experience with domestic violence was putting bruises on my first wife's wrists while preventing her from stabbing me with a large kitchen knife.

Educating anyone benefits everyone.
