Yet we have these things called brains that can be used for introspection. The pen is mightier than the sword.

Unfortunately our brains can't control our emotions as well as we'd like. Being purely rational isn't in the grasp of an human let alone children.
If you want optimal outcomes for young people you must make tackle our biological predispositions when training young people.

This is _why_ we go to school. I would advocate that school needs integrated therapy components too more than we have.

I would argue that parents are better placed to train their kids in these non academic domains. It also gets around the state dictating the moral values taught to children. Each family gets to choose for themselves.

The pen is not mightier than the sword. I know a lot of intellectually inclined people like to think so. I know I used to too.
Having a real world masculine power is the only way to live a non-avoidant, full life as a male.

For the best outcome, you need both.
I guess what I'm saying is that I don't condone "bar fights", but there is both a biological and sociological reason for male aggression and the pendulum has swung quite far the other direction, demonizing it as "toxic masculinity".
Just my 2 cents though...
