Why do men like violence? Do women?

There are five things to consider here:
-- there is no mention of 'aggression'.
-- it's all about 'violence'
-- amoebas: were they gender-specific? They were not. So the philosophical
point is to consider sexual dimorphism and provide, if possible, an
evolutionary point about it.
-- male/female work better than men and women. It's TOYS that 'soldier'
boys like (vide Lyrics to "Little Man, You had a busy day", 'the war has been
won, the enemy is out of sight, put away your soldiers...')
-- what is the meaning of 'males LIKE violence'. What does 'violence' first
apply to. What does 'violENT' first apply to? etc.
