People are perfectly capable of violence despite pacifist moms. We can't pin male violence solely on women by blaming Mommy.
My guess is the matter of why violence is disproportionately commited by men is complex. I won't claim to know the answer.

Neither did the article's author in the OP, neither did I (see subtitle). Not that you said I did, of course. But denying it altogether is just stupid.

No clue what you're saying I've denied.

Just like many women can be strict and violent with their kids because they can get away with it. Or older siblings bash younger ones because they can.
I know big, violent men could clear a room if they start shit, but not any women who would get far before they are grabbed in a bear hug and picked up with their legs kicking in the air.

If we are divorcing male violence from an evolutionary sense, then the next question is - why are men larger (on average) than women?
