Women are incorporated into winning groups rather than targeted because they are valued resources

Evidence

The logic of sexual selection suggests that males do not view females as competitors, but rather as contested resources. This is true for both in-group and out-group females, as it is often the case that females from the out-group are incorporated into the victorious group after intergroup conflict (Thornhill & Palmer, 2000; Wrangham & Peterson, 1996). — Roderick M.

A second issue yet to be clarified within the context of intergroup conflict is why males, as the primary agents of intergroup aggression, do not target out-group females as well as out-group males. The logic of sexual selection suggests that males do not view females as competitors, but rather as contested resources. This is true for both in-group and out-group females, as it is often the case that females from the out-group are incorporated into the victorious group after intergroup conflict (Thornhill & Palmer, 2000; Wrangham & Peterson, 1996). — Roderick M.
