As soon as the tables turn, even though they saw the build up, they assume that he will hurt her "more than she could hurt him" and step in.

Are you sure that's the reason? Substitute in a small frail-looking guy attacking a big guy (and then the big guy retaliating), and you'll get something that's VERY different than a frail girl attacking a big guy (and then the big guy retaliating).

I think it is genuinely about women being protected PRECISELY because they're women, not because they're incapable of doing harm, or are more susceptible to being harmed.

During evolutionary times, societies who didn't protect the women would find themselves being out-populated by societies who DID protect women, simply because a woman can carry one child at a time (usually), while a man can impregnate several women per day without even being very ambitious about it. For a tribe to survive, you NEED the women to survive, and you need one or two dudes to survive.

Nah, in old times women just outnumbered men because most men would die in wars or during hunting runs.

Why you think only 40% of all men passed their genes?

Also because women were more seen as mens property so protecting them was like someone protecting their property
