Rough but ready

In his article “Men Are From Vengeance”, William Saletan attempts to reassure the audience that men simply are not just acting with retaliation as a result from a lack of empathy, men first try to utilize empathy, but when the truth is apparent, justice is best served with “an eye for an eye”. I completely agree with his argument...or is it an argument? It seems to me that Saletan is stating that men actually think before getting even. Because it seems to me that it is just an assumption by people...especially women, that men simply just act on retaliation. The title states "Men Are From Vengeance", therefore the title gives proof to the statement of men are expected to act on retaliation. Empathy plays a major role in whether or not someone "gets what is coming to them". In defence of men, there is a thinking process that happens before one decides to say torture someone else...its because they deserve it.
