Women engage in proxy-violence.

I'm not a regular bar-goer but twice I've watched drunk women literally grab a guy by the hand, pull him over to another guy he didn't know, and try to get them to fight each other. Non-drunk women are usually less obvious and direct but the effect is the same.

The issue with women and violence is that it's very difficult to get the women who cause it to suffer the consequences. A man who picks fights risks getting hurt or killed in evety fight even if he wins the fight. A woman who pushes men into fights rarely has any consequences at all.
