We are made in the image of God; we carry within us the desire for our true life of intimacy and adventure. To say we want less than that is to lie.
John EldredgeAggression is part of the masculine design, we are hardwired for it.... Little girls do not invent games where large numbers of people die, where bloodshed is a prerequisite for having fun. Hockey, for example, was not a feminine creation. Nor was boxing. A boy wants to attack something - and so does a man, even if it's only a little white ball on a tee.
