I think the answer is the same reason the male brain is larger than the female brain on average. The part of the brain that handles fighting. It's a pretty large part of our brains.

The reptilian hindbrain that handles violence isn't needed nearly as much now that we have society and civilization. It's shrinking.

In that case, should we expect to find more shrinking among human male brains than among human female brains?
