That is what "better tolerate being on the receiving end of aggressive behavior" means, i.e. men fight back when necessary.

Was referring to unprovoked aggressive behavior towards non-threats and/or allies, and the breakdown of cooperation against a common threat.
Women seem to be worse in this category.

The context is women in combat or in this thread infantry, throughout history to the beginning of time warrior cultures are predominantly men. Having the protective instinct of someone born to bear children should never be confused or compared to someone who willingly hunts and preys on those who would do us harm. Men seek to conquer and express dominance and develop hierarchies....tiers of lesser men with the same goal. The military is built in the image of patriarchal societies. The differences between men and women can be seen in prison culture where people are stripped to their basic primordial instinctive self. Men in prison usually developed heightened predatory senses such as sensing fear and always looking for prey.

Women in prisons are highly social and tend to develop families for protection and strength but it is rare for women to be predators.

Men have different relationships and can thrive in isolation barring threats to self and relationships are usually not so much about socializing as they are about dominance.

On top all the above I would expect a 6' 200lb man to be capable of not only dominating a room with his presence but to intimidate and close with and kill the enemy like a predator.
