This conversation has failed to mention an important fact I believe is relevant to the question - the fact that we are hunting animals. This means we are equipped for killing as a part of the normal course of evolution - men and women both.
The application of violence to other humans, rather than antelope, is a slightly different issue. This is IMO why it is meaningless to say "violence is wrong" - in so doing you are denying your own nature. But one can say, "violence in the human context is a problem to be solved" and that would make sense.
