Can't really blame patriarchy, matriarchy, oligarchy or even malarchy.This clearly isn't the place to take a deep dive into this topic but a factor you're not acknowledging with which I am familiar is the impact trauma has on all of us. Acts of violence can certainly be called immoral and on the surface it can appear they are volitional but we now have a much deeper understanding of how trauma impacts the brain and can lead to behaviors that can cause great suffering both for the perpetrator and those around him or her. That will never be relieve the perpetrator of responsibility and it will always be society's determination of what is a fair and useful punishment. But none of us is free of the influence of the environment into which we were born. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree and not every home is a happy one.
