I disagree.
Men are more capable of physical aggression, and better tolerate being on the receiving end of aggressive behavior.
This isn't the same thing as being prone to aggressive behavior.
Men can be physically violent towards one another, and then quickly set that aside when facing adversity which requires cooperation.
Noticed that women have more of a tendency to be subtly aggressive towards their close allies, and it often worsens when facing adversity.
IMO, the critical difference in genders is the ability to cooperate under severe stress.
All-male groups just seem to do it better than mixed-gender or all-female groups.
That's been my observation over the years.
Maybe others have had different experiences.

You have got to be shitting me. Social convention and the law rob males of the very things that you admit that are their advantage. Bring the credible threat of physical violence into play and then tell me about all your "aggressive" females.
