One would think that being the weaker sex, physically that is, would be a disadvantage in the survival game but being less physically strong would, I would think, make one less likely to be aggressive in a physical way.
Watching TV and reading novels and seeing news headlines makes one believe that most murder victims are women killed by serial killers but the truth is that isn't likely to happen, even is a high risk professional like being a crack addicted street prostitute. Only 100 or so people are killed by serial killers a year out of 15,000 murder victims. Women are most likely to be killed by their husband (half of the 3,000 women killed in the US are murdered by their spouse).
Eighty percent of all murder victims are men though.
