If women had better impulse control then it would apply to other compulsive behaviours too, which it doesn't, so it can't be as simple as that. I would argue that it again comes back to the difference in physical strength; predatory men attack overpower, or attempt to overpower, because they feel like there's a good chance they CAN physically dominate their target. As has been discussed in this thread, it's highly unlikely that the average woman could overpower the average man and therefore it follows that there would be fewer attempts to do so.

Obviously it's impossible to say for sure because it's all hypothetical... But, I very highly suspect that if there was some sort of global mutation over night that doubled the physical strength of every female, and halved the physical strength of every male, then you would see a dramatic shift in the statistics going forward.

You also seem to have a bit of a conflict going on regarding what you believe about the male and female brain Vicky. On the one hand you insist that there is no such thing as transgenderism because there's no such thing as the "mystical, magical male or female brain" and yet you seem to believe on the other hand that there ARE fundamental differences between male and female psychology that mean men have poorer impulse control and are more likely to act on violent or predatory urges... Which strongly suggests that there IS such a thing as a male and female brain, and therefore that a male or female brain COULD be in the wrong physical body.
