From a purely biological perspective, it is in a woman’s best interest to choose an agressive person as they tend to dominate in a society. By capturing those genes to merge with her own a woman increases her chances of propagating into the next generation. However, this is at least a two variable optimization problem in that, there is a counter influence which penalizes a woman who chooses a partner who is so agressive that they abandon the woman and her children to their own devices. While the children are liable to have the kind of genes that allow them to florish, they may not receive the necessary support that will give them enough of a start in the subsequent generation. They may find themselves relegated to a ‘Criminal’ underclass which eventually goes extinct. Ideally, from a biological perspective, a woman’s best chances for survival come from a man who dominates within his domain, but shows at least enough concern for his offspring that they survive and obtain position within the next generation. This does’nt mean that such a man must be particularly caring toward the woman, nor faithful for that matter so long as he provides well enough for the mother of his children to enable her to nurture her offspring. This may leave the woman feeling unfullfilled, but her children have the greatest chance for success within the social strata that we call society. These factors however do appear to be changing and new strange attractors may prevail which change this biological wisdom. However, genetics is a fairly slow adaptive algorithm and women may find them selves victims of those biological tendencies even when they are not rewarded in the current social structures anymore.
