Intergroup aggression targets outgroup men while incorporating outgroup women

Evidence

Because women are considered a highly valued resource among men, they are not targeted as members of out-groups for harm or debilitation, but are instead often incorporated into the winning group. This logic confirms the initial prediction of the SMTH that men serve as the primary targets and agents of intergroup aggression. However, the SMTH additionally specified that it should be men of subordinate groups who are primarily targeted. We have attempted to revise this assertion using logic from parental investment theory and sexual selection and have also cited evidence in which subordinate groups have displayed intergroup biases toward dominant groups. — Roderick M.
