Men account for 48.6% of the US population, but are responsible for 82.4% of violent crime. What is the best explanation for this? Source: https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cv18st_rev.pdf …

Full disclosure no clue. But given how much more violent men were in say crusader medieval EU vs present day EU, you could plausibly argue that the environment today has the opposite contribution, i.e. making us less violent.
Are men less violent today (testosterone has fallen since the early 1900s quite a bit) or was the artist who drew this sexist?pic.twitter.com/cmYIbOKPp9

Yeah you're right. Actually I wouldn't know if its true or gigantic selection bias.

If you look at old pictures of people, they tend to be pretty good looking. There's a survivorship bias there. Same thing going on, which is what you're alluding to. We wouldn't make a tapestry of men grinding flour or whatever.
