Part 5/15:

• Men: Historically, men have been socialized or evolved to resolve conflicts through honor-bound combat, such as warfare, where the objective is to confront and resolve disputes directly, often respecting the opponent afterward.

• Women: Women, on the other hand, tend to develop conflict resolution styles revolving around within-group competition—favoring consensus, minimizing open disagreement, and holding grudges. Andrews points out that even chimpanzee females demonstrate slower reconciliation after conflicts compared to males, hinting at deep evolutionary roots for these behaviors.
