> I seriously wonder if this is why we ended up with a patriarchal 'civilization'. Simply because so many women are silently traumatized.

Men are also, in general, significantly stronger physically.

I think I remember reading (maybe in the book WEIRD) that in Western societies, as the "rule of law" spread and as society became more individualistic overall, murders shifted from being between strangers or weak acquaintances (ie a dispute, a robbery, etc) to being intrafamily (ie killing a spouse, parent, etc). Ie 200 years ago, it was unheard of, but now most murders are like that.

Abuse might be different, I couldn't find data (and im guessing that data on abuse would be harder to find than on murders).
