Answer to Question 2

Answer: Men are exposed to social factors, such as peer pressure to be macho or aggressive, and messages in society, such as the belief that women who dress scantily are asking for it or that sowing their wild oats is simply a normal part of male development. They may also be influenced by societal norms that portray women as the passive targets of male aggression, or by peer pressure to be macho by engaging in predatory behavior.
