I'm not sure the violent aspect of humanity is the major culprit.  The culprit
is the need to control (although this may entail violence, it isn't violence).
When the wall comes down, those who feel inadequate will no longer have a
socially accepted reason to control others (women) to make themselves feel
more important, more adequate.  You call them "Warmongers", and I do agree that
these people exist, but they are far outnumbered by the "Inadequates".
