Girls civilize boys. I remember being in grade seven and coming to the aid of a girl who was being bullied by the boys on a school bus. All of us girls tried to shut the boys down with statements of disgust and disapproval because they were being so cruel. That is how it works. If, in extremist cultures, boys are not allowed to have any contact with girls, they will continue to act in a wanton fashion, which, is abuse in the case of teenagers but can very easily turn into murder when such boys turn into men and have all power.
