> Imagine the line

Unfortunately it is not at all difficult to imagine. In fact, I am positively certain that some such lines have been written in books on -isms by prestigious modern American intellectuals. Poe's Law strikes again! As for genetic/biological factors causing men to be more violent, they are passed over in silence as being both embarrassing to bring up in the light of other group differences (same happens with dog and cat breeds, by the way) and too obvious to mention. People a generation or two out may no longer "get the joke" and believe sincerely (to the extent that one can talk of "believing" - cf. doxastic voluntarism - and "sincerity" - see Randall Collins - in these matters) that it's all socioeconomic factors.
