Various explanations have been provided for this surprising fact, for example that men face greater consequences are held [[hypoagency|more responsible]], thus being more likely to refrain from using violence. Another explanation would be that women arrest in their emotional development in their mid-teens, are thus more [[neoteny|neotenous]], thus more likely may suffer childish anger tantrums. Women also score higher than men in neuroticism (Kajonius, 2018). Women's neotenous neuroticism and anger may be a [[female sneakiness|sneaky]] adaptation to ensure that they get fed. Women may also test their partner's strength this way. Eibl-Eibesfeldt (1990) summarized that the male dominance/female surrender is a pattern common to many species, reaching back to our common ancestor with lizards. This could explain such a violent testing behavior: Females that tested their man for superior strength more likely could produce strong offspring that could pass such tests, also in physical competition with other men. | Various explanations have been provided for this surprising fact, for example that men face greater consequences are held [[hypoagency|more responsible]], thus being more likely to refrain from using violence.

An | An astonishing case in relation to this phenomenon is English family care and activist and novelist Erin Pizzey (born 1939) who uncovered higher violence rate against men in a domestic violence shelter that she had founded, only to be met with death threats which urged her to flee her country and move to China. | ||
