Does anyone else think that this is good for these guys and not some misguided cry for help from men who feel forced to be manly? Honestly, I think the sociologist that compares this to women cutting is full of crap. For once these guys get to release built up stress in a way that doesn't involve video games or other stereotypically nerdy pasttimes. Man, people who try to relegate men to the level of passive beings that are merely told by society to be strong and physichal really really piss me off.
