One aspect of it not being enough to explain the whole of it doesn't make your absurd sexual dominance theory correct. That would have to mean that weaker women were selected by men, but that women started off the same size as men. Over time, the women who were weaker dominated the gene pool. That would have to be how it panned out, which doesn't make sense, given that, from an evolutionary standpoint, fortune favors stronger women who can reproduce well.

The losers don't get an alternative strategy. The winners knock up the woman. The losers can't knock up the women because the winners have. Like in other species, the winner protects his mate from rapey losers. In the end, you have an obvious reason for men being bigger. It's the same with other species.

Bless your heart. I see it as an *attempt* to discredit evolutionary theory. I didn't say it was a discredit. Evolution is true. Your hypothesis is not a fact. It's not even a hypothesis really, because that would require an educated guess.
