And females are subservient/subjugated in our closest cousin's 'Tournament' species?

In our other closest cousins the Bonobo's, which are not a tournament species, females have a lot more power and agency. In essence, they're so promiscuous that no male knows that any issue ... is actually their own. Which tames the males aggressive behaviors.

Which explains the situation with humans pretty well, or I'd posit it's as logical an explanation for humanities ongoing battle of the sexes as any
