I think you're partly correct. Men are more likely to commit an assault than are women. But it's not just up to men to change that.

The male propensity for violence is a HUMAN CONSTRUCT. Our species has relied on it for survival for millions of years. It's only been within a tiny sliver of human history that a propensity for violence has become more of a liability than an asset. Yet it's still society's expectation that a man should protect his family, his home and his country- with violence if necessary. Women value that in men. Why wouldn't they?

If society wants to end the male propensity for violence, it will require that both genders think long and hard about why it exists, and whether it should continue to exist. Ending it isn't a simple matter of teaching little boys to play nice. Society will have to change its entire outlook on gender roles, while modifying eons worth of genetic conditioning. No, that's not a job for the Status of Women.
