>typically more harmful for more people on average than the feminine expressions of same

The equivalent feminine expression of the same kind of dominance is a reputation war.

Reputation wars can destroy lives and relationships. If I have to choose one, I for one much prefer to deal with people winning at how awesome they are (and how lame I am) than a reputation war.

Civilized places have cracked down on violence, so male dominance contests almost never end up with a face punched anymore. Toning down the violence made them much safer.

Female dominance contests are still as deadly as they have always been.
