I like to think this is a highly ironic song where a man justifies his violence and mistake in the solely reason that he is a man… So, there is no reason, and he knows.
@carolaclavo oh man, I really hope this is not what the song writer intended to convey with his lyrics. I personally disagree.
Here's my take:

Here's my take:
This guys is arguing with his girl. "Each fucking doubt I make, unleash a cry" says he is putting holes in her argument. "In desperation, all that you can do is ask me why," the girl is dropping her argument and attacking him personally.

He replies, "Cus I'm a man, woman/ don't always think before I do." She has dropped the original argument and attacking him personally, and he is...

Pride will not allow him to concede his point. He is a man. Proud, tough by nature. He will not drop his natural proclivities just to appease his opponent.
@carolaclavo perhaps it is learned to a certain extent. I would argue that men are inherently more aggressive, competitive than women for the most part though. I'm sure we can find some outliers if we search the data but overall men are more prone to this type of behavior.

The fact that we produce more testosterone should be good evidence to support this claim.

@kid1 Sorry, I dissagree with you deeply and I don't feel like starting an argument that is far beyond the purpose of this site. Men can be however they want and there is no biological justification for violence or any behavior based on gender. Even though violence is mostly exerted by men today, to me that is a cultural problem. I'll add that there is not one only way to "be a man". Be free and enjoy the music whatever it means to you or me. Cheers!

@kid1 precisely my point is that if you did wrong and you want to blame it on being a man, you shouldn't: You can't. So the song it's more interesting to me as an ironic song. And that is my opinion, of course anyone can have its own and there will be one for each one person that listens to it.

@carolaclavo I agree this is not the platform to argue this point lol. To be clear I am not advocating physical violence in any way, shape, or form. When I referred to aggression, or pride, or competitiveness, I meant it in the context of having an argument. Never mentioned violence. Just wanted to make that point clear.

I appreciated hearing your view on the song, and hope that this shows that people can have a spirited discussion without resorting to name calling or any "trollish" behavior :)

@kid1 the thing is… I don't think men are "though by nature" or proud or else. That is something men learn like anybody.
