	abstract = {In animal societies, control over resources and reproduction is often biased towards one sex. Yet, the ecological and evolutionary underpinnings of male{\textendash}female power asymmetries remain poorly understood. We outline a comprehensive framework to quantify and predict the dynamics of male{\textendash}female power relationships within and across mammalian species. We show that male{\textendash}female power relationships are more nuanced and flexible than previously acknowledged. We then propose that enhanced reproductive control over when and with whom to mate predicts\&nbsp;social empowerment\&nbsp;across ecological and evolutionary contexts. The framework explains distinct pathways to sex-biased power:\&nbsp;coercion\&nbsp;and male-biased\&nbsp;dimorphism\&nbsp;constitute a co-evolutionary highway to male power, whereas female power emerges through multiple physiological, morphological, behavioural, and socioecological pathways.},
