I truly do not believe that it is just cultural, because it is not the case that every culture teaches men to limit their emotional expression towards aggression. For instance,many of the green people believe that it is a sign of masculinity to express every sort of emotion in a grand manner. Picture Zorba the Greek kissing his male friend enthusiastically, and then bursting into tears, shouting something, then dancing.
Also, eunuchs are less likely to be violent and more likely to live as long as women.
On the plus side, men with high testosterone levels are also more likely to engage in heroic acts of altruism, like rescuing somebody from a fire. This makes sense because evolution would favor this over somebody with a couple ovaries full of eggs risking her life for the group.
