Imagine you were a woman in primeval times. There is no law and order. There are some nice guys and some jerks. Unfortunately, the nice guys can’t reliably protect you from the jerks. Your best strategy is to ally yourself with one of the biggest jerks because he can sucessfully intimidate the lesser jerks. Repeat this over thousands of generations, and you have established a reliable trait of seeking out and submitting to jerks.

Or, imagine you were a young (cute) woman alone in Washington, DC during the 1990’s. Where would you go for safety and protection? Bubba’s Big Ol’ Man Cave, that’s where, baby! Wooohoooo!;)

And now they vote.

Civilization is the triumph of nice guys over the jerks. At least within the civilization - they might be conquering bastards to the rest of the world.
