There is a biological difference between men and women's brains and that is a "scientific fact" e.g. men are better at spacial relations (as that is tied to the amount of testosterone in the body) and women are better at language. And there is apparently a huge difference between men and women when it comes to both violence and crime.

Here is what I am referring to. Over the course of the history of modern civilization, I would guess that about 99%, maybe 98%, of all wars, violence, torture, tyranny of men over women, etc were caused by men, not women. It is males one has had to fear in the world, not women, by and large, and by a large margin.

And this is a constant found all over the world and among all races and societies and for all of written history and everything we know about anthropological understandings of the human species.

Sure there are many non violent sensitive men and some violent insensitive women, and many more kind men today than in the past, tempered by education, and probably a bit more violent women manifested by the same modern conditions, but both instances are in the minority by a wide margin.

All one has to do it look at the prison population and who starts the wars and have always started the wars. And most of the women in jail are there for drugs, not violent crimes.

"Prison and jail population
It has state by state numbers for female incarceration. In the United States in 2015, women made up 10.4% of the incarcerated population in adult prisons and jails. Between 2000 and 2010, the number of males in prison grew by 1.4% per annum, while the number of females grew by 1.9% per annum.

This article discusses the incarceration of women in prisons and jails within the United States. According to a November 2018 report by the Prison Policy Initiative, 219,000 women are incarcerated in the United States. [1] A 2017 report by the World Prison Brief states: "The highest female prison population rates are in the U.S.A. (about 65.7 per 100,000 of the national population), Thailand (60.7), El Salvador (58.4), Turkmenistan (about 38.2), Seychelles (34.8), Russian Federation (33.5), French Guiana (32.4), Macau-China (31.3), Rwanda (29.6), Greenland (28.5), and American Samoa (27.3)."

And we see the above statistics manifested in the fact that women are Democrats 2 to 1 over Republicans while men still prefer Trump, and the fact the women have changed their mind about Trump by 33 points since 2016 when non college white women voted for Trump by a 27 point margin and not prefer a generic Democrat by 40 to 43%..
