Men more likely to use weapons in fights are men more likely to win fights.

This study establishes clearly -yet again- that the differences between Men and Women are hardwired genetically and not merely the result of socialisation:

"The variant of the MAOA gene associated with violent behaviour is found on the X-chromosome and is less effective at breaking down neurotransmitters."

"Males, who have one X-chromosome and one Y-chromosome, have only one copy of the MAOA gene, which means a male is stuck with a low-functioning variant."

"Females, who have two X-chromosomes, have two copies of the gene, one of which could compensate for a low-functioning variant."

"Beaver said this gender difference is one of the reasons his team did not find a link between the low-functioning MAOA variant and gang membership in females."

This study adds to a growing body of evidence that Feminist gender theories are just simply wrong.
