Quote

As women are empowered, violence can come down, for a number of reasons. By all measures, men are the more violent gender.

Men are distinguished from women by their commitment to do violence rather than to be victimized by it.

Most male victims of violence are the victims of other men's violence. So that's something that both women and men have in common. We are both victims of men's violence.

Societies that empower women are less violent in every way.

The more potent, unasked question is how society at large reacts to eager, voluntary violence by females, and to the growing evidence that women can be just as aggressive as men.

I've never seen a world where only men were responsible for the violence, and the women were innocent. They go together. Men and women are a violent mixture.

The origins of violence against women by men are not biological. If that were the case, it would exist in every culture. And it doesn't exist in every culture.

Until the masculine role is humanized, women will tend to be much better at solving dangerous conflicts.

Perhaps the strongest evidence that women have as broad and deep a capacity for physical aggression as men is anecdotal. And as with men, this capacity has expressed itself in acts from the brave to the brutal, the selfless to the senseless.

Violent men have not been known in history to die to a man. They die up to a point.
