I always felt like the men joining things like militias are searching for a way that they matter. I mean we live in first world countries which in a way give many opportunities to be a part of something bigger but for the people who can't achieve that they still need something.

I feel, and this is just my opinion, that it's generally easier for woman to find purpose since they can just pop out a kid. That's my theory of why this kind of thing seems male dominated.
