Hypermasculinity

Throughout history, men are viewed as powerful and dominant. Even religion is seen in this way, from Him, God, and the fact that Eve was made from Adam's rib bone, prove that the men were seen as more important in every aspect of life. Even now in our modern day times, young boys are shown "action figures" instead of dolls. So are we creating hypermasculinity, still, even in our time of understanding and equality, or is hypermasculinity a trait in boys that will always be there and we will never be able to get rid of, and does this lead to aggressive sexual behaviour?
When watching commercials on channels meant for kids, the toys that are being advertised for them varies widly concerning which gender they are going for. For the girl's it is baby dolls that can talk to you and they learn how to take care of babies and children, there is also easy bake ovens so they can learn how to cook, and Barbie so they know how to shop and wait around for Ken. So concerning the girls, advertisments are setting them up to be housewives and mothers.
On the flip-side boys learn at a young age to be manly. They have action figures that fight crime, Tonka trucks, race cars- toys that are generally active or violent.So does this create hypermasculinity? From a young age boys are learning to fight for what they want, in sports, parents tell their young boys to fight for the ball and score, the point of the game is to win. For girls it's "try your best" and if you don't win, well that's okay because we are all winners.
It seems unfair but it is not really noticeable; it has always been like this. Boys learn to get what they want and crush anybody in the way, when they grow up and become men, that state of mind still sticks with them and they take what they want, not always nicely. Sexual assault has been studied for years and hypermasculinity has been connected to it. If a man wants that girl at the bar, well he can just go over and get her. It's what he has been taught for his whole life because if he can get the most girls he is "manly".
Some think though that this is just boys being boys; that over the ages, violence has always been connected to sex. Warriors sent out to crush villages would pillage them and rape the women. So war and sex have always coincided, but in our day and age this doesn't make sense. Most men now do not join the army, so if they are not fighting a war, why is their still rape and sexual assault? Apparently men do think that the more aggressive they are, girls will like them more, and the more women they have the cooler they are. Like girls who sleep around, they are sluts, but a guy who does the same thing is cool in the eyes of his friends and peers. Does this make sense?
It is true though that sex and war go together. Just last year, it was reported that many women in Afghanistan who were there fighting with the Canadian Forces were sexually assaulted and raped. On October 6 2010 the  military had only confirmed one though, a far cry from what a 2008 report indicated. The Canadian Forces Marshal Provost report 170 incidents of sexual assault in that year. This report contained incidents, no matter the outcome of the investigation. It seems though that women who were sent overseas do not want to talk about what happened.
