Giving birth at a young age doesn't really indicate better 'fitness'. More stupidity, sure, but there's no research I could find indicating that teenage fathers live longer and have more children. ¯\_(ಠ_ಠ)_/¯

Yeah, I guess. Competence of, and capacity for violence is indeed something that can be valued as important for the sake of protecting your family. Sure.

You basically answered yourself here. Violence is not nearly as valued, or as common, as it once was. By your own words, our society has changed for the better. There's a term for that. It's
natural selection, and through that, evolution. The violent people end up dying through violence.
Yes, there are some people who find violent, rough men attractive. That doesn't mean that's where the population's headed. You sort of implied that yourself when you called it 'primal psychology' and 'dumb girls'.
