Summary: About time someone said it
Comment: I will sum up the gist of Ms. Sommers and O'Malley's excellent book this way:
About a year ago, I was watching a nature show about a preserve that rescued elephants. Often rescued were pregnant mother elephants of those with young calves when the father elephant was killed by poachers. As the young male caves reached elephant adolescence, they became particularly problematic, in that they were becoming bullies and could no longer be controlled by their mothers. Hormonal changes seemed to make them aggressive and they began to operated in a street gang mode, attacking and mauling females and younger males. Knowing that this phenomena did not occur in nature, the park brought in mature male elephants and discovered that the fathers presence resulting in "teaching the adolescence pachyderms" how to be responsible males. The older males curbed the errant behaviors and acted as role models, showing the "teens" how to channel their maleness. The linkage in this show was never made to that far more complicated species - humans. That is a nutshell is what the excellent book addresses.
