Abstract

Campbell's evolutionary explanation of women's
typically lower rates of interpersonal aggression is plausible, but
some supporting evidence requires scrutiny. Women may not commit less
interpersonal violence than men against small children. Women are more
vulnerable than men in same-sex encounters. The link between dominance
and reproductive success for males is less secure than was once
thought.
