It is an interesting topic that will need time and evidence to evolve. I think no one knows the answer. There is theory that we all lived in matriarchal societies up until after the recent glacial age (10,000 years ago) and that these societies were not violent. That proposal is however being debated among scholars. The modern, better known examples of women in power do not shed better light: Merkel and Von Leyden are definitely compromise-seeking politicians but there is also Alice Weidel, Marine Le Pen, or in 19 century Queen Victoria and Russian Catherine Ii - ruthless and violent female leaders. One could argue that those women were surrounded by militant men and that’s why.
What is an undisputed fact is that women are underrepresented in politics so changing this is an experiment worth pursuing.
