This also might have less to do with the conception of violence within the mind of a person having a “bad day” and the ability of that person to carry out vilolence in a way that effects more people: ie physical strength and an interest and availability of weapons.
Much of it is, yes, ability to commit the violence. It leads to a feedback effect. Men can commit violence more easily with less harm, so they do. The act of doing it validates it so they do it again. This becomes encoded as "manly’ behaviour in society so now it’s expected. When it’s expected, it leads to more such violent expression and the feedback loop continues.
It’s really eye-opening, incidentally, to live in a country with different markers of masculinity that are culturally enforced. You don’t get a lot of wall punching here, for example. Shouting, sure. But not physical displays. Because physical displays of anger, etc. are frowned upon and get you shunned.
More emotional? No. Men and women both are creatures of emotional complexity.
More violent in their emotions? Hell, yes. Men, hands-down.
Yep! A woman’s bad day could cause disruption. A man’s bad day could lead to people dying. Oversimplification obviously.
