Ahhh Arryn, you saw me coming and headed my comment off at the pass. While men are indeed more violent than women it all seems extremely rational to me. We wage war and commit violence upon one another because we want what others have and (often mistakenly) believe our lives will be better if we try to take it by force, women on the other hand often seem content to live in silent misery themselves before attempting to assert their wills on others using force. Men are often stupider than women, but its comprehensible stupidity due to hubris.
To me the subjugation of women throughout the greater part of human history makes perfect sense... Who doesn't have a part of them that would greatly enjoy having total control over members of the opposite sex? Without the social morality that's now (hopefully) instilled in us at an early age and the existence of efficient means of disseminating information on how truly brutal said subjugation becomes in actual practice it would be alot easier for those with the power to oppress others to justify the oppression. It makes perfect sense to me although hopefully I'd be intelligent and empathetic enough not to do the same thing were i put in that position.
