Road rage and men

Road rage and men, why not title this article road rage and women, or just road rage? I’ll get to that in a minute, but I think it’s pretty safe to assume that we all know what road rage is. It is when men, women, teenagers, or anyone who drives a motor vehicle gets very angry and takes it out on someone, usually another motorist. Acts like someone cutting off another driver, following too closely, or getting bogged down in other actions can cause anger.

So if women are also involved in road rage, why point to men? This is because while women are definitely involved in road rage incidents, such as vulgar gestures, yelling at drivers, and fist fights, most violent road rage incidents undoubtedly occur with men. .

Women can get as angry as men when they are cut off, followed or “disrespected” by another driver, however, men are more likely to not let it pass. When some men go through a driving incident similar to those described above, they tend to be thirsty for some form of retaliation. They are more likely to try to get some kind of revenge, revenge, or confirmation that they are right. They, unlike women, are also more likely to take it to another level, a level of physical violence.

Road rage incidents happen every day in this country and, indeed, around the world. From the relatively benign exchange of disrespectful hand gestures, to stopping on the side of the road and having a fist fight, to shooting, a lot more just happens than the average person thinks. Most of these incidents are men against men. Why? Because, and this could get me in trouble with some truly politically correct guys, men will be men, or as the old cliché goes, boys will be boys.

I’m not going to go into the possible psychological or genetic reasons why many little boys like more aggressive and violent activities than little girls. Or why many mothers say that there are definite differences between boy and girl siblings regarding violence, anger, and how they handle both.

The fact is, men will get physically faster than women. Of course, there are exceptions to all the rules, including this one. In fact, there is probably more girl-on-girl violence around this time than in recent history, and by recent history I mean hundreds of years. Men, on the other hand, have been fighting, often for stupid reasons, since recorded history. And if we could go further back in time, we would probably also see cavemen fighting each other for absolutely ridiculous reasons.

When it comes to disrespecting men, not to mention they nearly died from the actions of another driver. . . beware, some flying hair and fists may be around the corner. I’ve spent much of my life with extreme testosterone types, with old neighborhood friends, martial arts acquaintances, and co-workers from the police. I’ve seen practically everything a man’s ego can defend. And to be honest, I too have been on the extreme ego side once or twice in my life.

However, to get to the heart and truth of the matter, men must realize that there is no shame or cowardice in letting things slide when it comes to road rage. A truly strong man can let the smallest things go by, realizing that it is unwise or unwise to get physical for something as mundane as a gesture. So many dire consequences can occur if you jump out of your car and get physically with someone.

You could break a person’s finger, nose, or cheekbone. Or it can choke you unconscious or hurt and even embarrass you in many other ways. It is also very possible that you will be arrested for those actions. You can also kill a man. What if you hit your head or strangle it for too long or too hard? Or what if you have a heart attack? What about being sued? All these possibilities for a traffic altercation?

Or what if something similar happens like what happened to a driver who got mad at a taxi driver from Akron, Ohio. The driver felt slighted by something the taxi driver did while they were both driving. They exchanged nasty words and gestures, and the man finally jumped out of his car and tried to get the taxi driver to fight him. The man became even more enraged when the taxi driver did not get out of his vehicle, so he punched the driver’s side window and smashed it. While he was still sitting in his vehicle, the taxi driver shot him dead. He told jurors that he thought the man had shot, not hit the window, and was acting in self-defense. The jury believed him.

The key to keeping a man from falling into the trap of road rage is understanding that a strong, tough man can know that when a situation becomes life-threatening, he can handle it, whatever it is. And frivolous incidents of road rage just don’t fall into that category. In such extreme circumstances where your life is in danger, you can certainly suffocate someone or break their nose. A truly strong man can understand that it is neither wise nor strong to lose control of oneself when so many negative aspects can arise.

It is a conscious choice for men to control themselves when it comes to road rage, no matter whose fault it is. Let it go, turn the other cheek, so to speak, and walk away. Honestly, you would be doing the strong and wise thing to do. Society needs stronger men like that, who can sustain themselves in frivolous times and turn them on when they really need them.
