For example, it has been argued that men face greater consequences and 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 earlier than men as evidences by [[Scientific_Blackpill_(Supplemental)#Women_cry_four_times_as_much_as_men_and_never_outgrow_teenage_crying_behavior|women crying as often as early teenage boys]], are thus more [[neoteny|neotenous]], thus more likely may suffer childish anger tantrums.

Women's neotenous neuroticism and anger may be a [[female sneakiness|sneaky]] adaptation to ensure their partner's investment.

Eibl-Eibesfeldt (1990) proposed that the male dominance/female surrender is a pattern common to many species, reaching back to our common ancestor with lizards, and that it may still may be present in humans as a vestige. Females who tested their male partners for strength more likely produced strong offspring that can pass such tests as well as win out in physical competition with other males. Men's ability to overpower the female also evidences his social status and ability to secure resources. | Women's neotenous neuroticism and anger may be a [[female sneakiness|sneaky]] adaptation to ensure their partner's investment.
