It's not that simple. It's possible that certain innate behaviors such as aggressiveness or a lesser ability to sympathize/empathize might, via culture, be directed to spousal abuse, but because of the interference by culture it's not simply innate. Purely innate behaviors cannot be characterized by "does not respect women" or "finds it acceptable to hit someone for not being fiscally responsible". Are you following? While I'd be more than willing to admit that the judge in this case may have a different innate disposition, perhaps he reacts differently when he's afraid than I do (he seeks to attack what he doesn't understand, whereas I seek to understand it), I'd not be willing to admit he was born hating women.
