None of which seem very compelling.
But this happens in observed chimps and baboons too. Once the alpha male claim his territory and have gotten rid of the competition, he also goes into punish mode of any female who does not fall in line with his rule. That is usually the only reason, if not then, most of the time females are hurt.
While I'm at it. This is more reason for the theist to except evolution. Their own behavior toward their fellow men is more then enough proof that we are just another species of animal amongst the rest inhabitant this planet and not from a perfect creation.

Sure there are a couple more subtle reasons but, the simpler , most basic ones are enough.

Chimps try to hide it but they have their own barbaric customs, too.

That explains all the shit flinging.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I think we should all just get along with each other. Sadly seems evolution of the mind is going slow. Maybe Bacon is the only thing worth a damn.
