If we judge by what they do, that is a good Occam's Razor fit with the facts: <Politicians want the frisson that comes from subduing others. >

Chimps and other primates, wolves and other social animals also have that pecking order dominance hierarchy business going so it's not surprising the lower orders of humans are disposed to that code of ethics too.

Are you sure you haven't confused women for scientists there: <Scientists are (speaking generally) misunderstood sad little geeks who just want to be loved, which makes them subjugate reason for acceptance. > Or religious people. Joking aside, I'm trying to fit people I know into your theory and they don't fit. On the contrary, the scientists I know tend to fit that theory less than others fit it. Stereotypes too [that I have in mind for scientists] don't fit that idea either. You'll have to come up with something better.
