I believe one of the studies (but I am quoting a Tumblr post) showed that higher skilled males had no issues with even higher skilled women, but low skill males became hostile to the presence of women in spaces.
Yeah. It’s the relative status and how we detect an “easy target.” If it is smaller and/or female, it is an easy target to dominate. Which usually involves bluffing or taking food in chimps, but can turn to violence. Females who are too assertive are killed. Plus, females do it too. Just less so as they generally have more to lose and less means to win with. I’d say we came a long way, but not long enough.

Once again someone takes what I’m saying all the way to left field
