I thought men on the forum would find the following studies interesting
If you're triggered by the study or trying to insinuate something then please keep it to yourself because I'm just stating facts
Specifically, we show that male aggression is targeted towards the most fecund females, is associated with high male mating success and is costly for the victims. Such aggression can be viewed as a counter-strategy to female attempts at paternity confusion, and a cost of multi-male mating.

When a study came out in 2007 showing that male chimpanzees sometimes sexually coerce females—assaulting and chasing them as a kind of violent, bullying courtship—Huchard and her colleagues wondered whether baboons behaved similarly. So they meticulously catalogued the interactions between individuals living in two troops in Tsaobis's rocky grassland.
Males often chased, bit, struck, and scratched fertile females (easily distinguished by their bright red, swollen hindquarters), but not pregnant or lactating females. These assaults weren't immediately followed by sex. Instead, weeks later when the females were most likely to be ovulating, they tended to mate with their attackers. If a male attacked a fertile female, he was 10%–50% more likely to mate with her than were nonaggressive males, the team reports today in Current Biology.
It wasn't that the females preferred aggressive males in general. Instead, they gravitated to the specific males that harassed them.
The authors conclude that the male baboons' behavior amounts to sexual intimidation. Though the researchers don't know precisely why females prefer their harassers
