In most species, males are more aggressive, a consequence of testosterone. I saw that difference between male and female dogs of the same breed -- the cocker spaniel. The male was far more aggressive than the female even after spaying and neutering. Yes, they are both dogs, animals of great power, strength, and agility. They were equal in those for their size.
In a world of finely-tuned devices that can kill if mishandled, whether automobiles or nuclear weapons, aggressive behavior can be quite unwelcome. OK -- it is simply out of style to raise girls to be housewives.
