In other words, its societally unacceptable to get into a mutually engaged fist fight to settle an argument and let off steam.
This is utter crap.
I weighed 140 lbs when I graduated high school, and only sitting at a desk for 6 1/2 years has gotten me to my "scientifically determined ideal weight".
I was the victim of plenty of your "mutually engaged fist fights" in my youth. I did not fight, because I was taught that fighting is wrong. It's that simple.
As an adult, I have come to the more correct conclusion: There are times, very few and far between, when you need to fight. And when you do, you have to kill your opponent.
Random fistfights? Well, I can't really comment about them without bringing the size or functionality of the participant's manhood into question.
