Saying it's a human social problem is a bit of a misnomer tho, as throughout written history half of the humans (women) have not been in power, have not made the rules and have not been the enforcers of the rules.
This is a man problem, not a human problem.
I'll let the multiple women who've abused me know it's a man problem and they're good to go.
Didn't you just lay out why it is a social problem, though? Men are disproportionately abusing folks because they're disproportionately in power.
Clearly testosterone plays a major role in causing aggressive behavior, and men tend to have more testosterone, but that also isn't a clear-cut division between groups, and folks with lower testosterone can certainly still be aggressive monsters. Oversimplifying the problem isn't going to fix things.
Your username reminded me of the Star Trek TNG episode with the planet run by women. Men are smaller and more subservient. Basically the women in power have all the negative egotistical traits that men are stereotyped with in our society. Riker is sexually coerced (but he enjoys it of course).
In our society, men have these issues. But women are not immune.
Is it testosterone? Or is it greater upper body strength and less fragile necks?
