Both men and women are great and retarded but for different reasons, our greatests strenghts are our biggest weaknesses:
Women empathic, caring and nuturing nature is great for taking care of children and adults who need care, women have better social skills by default and are better at maintaining harmony in a social group, but women can start to prioritize harmony and feelings instead of looking at the long term consequences of their behavior and the ideas they support.
Men's logical, analytical and agressive approach is great for security and solving issues, traits encouraged in a man, but this turns into a weakness because men can become unnecesarily aggresive and insensitive, which leads to hurting others (or as you say, we turn into rape apes).
We are both great and suck in our own way when our nature is expressed in a maladaptative way, when we integrate and work as a team we do better, the maladaptative part happens when we go too far in one direction.
