I don’t know if it’s true but I’ve just noticed how boys and young men seem to have an innate drive toward weapons and war.
My mom wouldn’t let me or my brother have any toys that were guns growing up and we made guns out of everything else. There is something in humans that wants to battle.
If me and my brother grew up hunting with spears and arrows and running around in the woods with our tribe of skilled killers I feel like it would’ve satiated something primal in us and the drive toward weaponry wouldn’t have been like it was as it was already being satisfied naturally and out of necessity. Just spitballing
