I’m a workout junkie and I’ve competed against men in martial arts and obstacle racing. Anyone who says women are as strong as men has never wrestled a man or challenged a man to a pull-up competition. Why can’t these people just let us women be the best we can be and respect us for it?
Because these activist have such a frail selfsteem that they _NEED_ to be cheered as the most superior and peerless beings that ever existed, either by projection or by proxy... They're not satisfied with being good, they have to "make" everyone else worse
Because they were trained to believe that a woman can and should achieve all the most desirable traits that men have to claim us useless. To think differently is misogynistic... I grew just annoyed at hearing the amount of women thinking they could take on a man with a foot of height and 150lbs of muscle on them because they know no men will test them on that fact, or think they need no men when 90% of the infrastructure in western civilisations are taken care of by men. The sad thing is is that such mentality only cares about women when they are validating their point... they treat people like knotches in a belt and don't care about the person themselves.
@inovade I thought I was pretty clear. Once we go through puberty, the male body has 30% more maximum capacity upper body strength, 20% more maximum capacity lower body strength, and about 20% more maximum oxygen-carrying capacity. The top 10% of elite female athletes will never be competitive against the top 10% of elite male athletes. This means that a woman will never podium at the professional or Olympic level against men. (Ultra-Marathon runners may eventually find that’s not true in that one sport, due to women carrying more fat reserves for ultra-endurance, but that’s about it.) I can beat about 50% of the men in my (completely amateur) class in obstacle racing. Does it make me less worthy of respect as a person because I’ll never beat the top 50% of men? Why do so many people equate physicality with superiority and think women aren’t worthy of respect as people because we aren’t as strong or as fast? So, I think we agree, but it was difficult to tell from your original statement.
As a physical therapist, I have to deal with that kind of nonsense pretty often, trying to educate people with clear evidence without getting told being a „sexist“. And I’m thankful, that Someone like you really made a good video about that theme. Hopefully it reaches a few people out there and they understand the difference.
I think people take idea that sexual dimorphism isn't perfectly binary (that is - there is middle ground between sexes) and go to wrong conjectures from there. A lot of people are bad with small percentages. There is small overlap between sexes (on every level, even anatomically) and a lot of people want to eighter completely ignore it or to think that there is no difference between sexes. It is hard to fathom for them that although in 99/100 cases you can think traditionally about sexual dimorphism, not in all cases traditional view holds. And those 1/100 - those exeptions are not exeptions - they are overlap between normal distributions - thus they are normal too, they are not freaks.
As a women it is very strange to me that this upsets people so. Just because a man may be physically stronger doesn’t mean that he had more value as a human.
The problem is that alot of MEN believe that their physical strength DOES increase their value. You have men out here thinking they are the best thing since sliced f_cking bread because they can lift a car. I can be the shortest and weakest female on the face of the planet but if i have a gun and know how to use it those big f_cking muscles on your d_mb male body isn't going to help you in the slightest. Men don't realize that They think they are superior to women in every way because of what-... how many f_cking rocks they can carry? When they ought to be concerned with all the rocks jiggling around in their f_cking skulls.
I feel like a lot of these idpol types refuse to be more precise than "human" when evaluating personal value. Do men have more value than women, on average, as people, because of their size and strength? No. Do they have more value as soldiers or fire fighters for the same traits? Absolutely, yes. Do women have more value as people for being more empathetic than men? No. Do they have more value as councilors or social workers for the same trait? Yes, of course they do. Yet, observing these objective truths is sexist. I think refusing to recognize what people are good at is sexist.
As a female who coaches longjump and triple jump, it is easy to see the disparity between male and female: look at the records. Jumping requires strength. Yes, thete are boys who jump worse than the girls, but the records speak for themselves. I am proud to be a woman without hangups about who is better. We are just different.
Frankly the whole thing baffles me. Men and women are complementary, not competitive; there is no need to lose ones mind over our obvious physical differences. And, frankly speaking, any healthy minded person will cheer and support someone working through their limits regardless of how successful they are when compared to someone other.
I'm a middle-aged woman, so I'm old enough to know what I'm capable of and what I'm not. My opponents are not males or females, but tasks and situations.
What does this have to do with anything? Why are women such infants that they can't handle simple biological facts, and they have to tell themselves fairytales to obfuscate from them?
Left or so called sjw (mythical creatures in your mind who usually are in minority or fake ),in General never claimed men and women are the same you are just straw manning ,for nearly a century, Liberals and socialist have been fighting to achieve total equality for women around the world against triggered reactionary people like you who can't tolerate progress and always advocates for backwardness.
The only reason these people think being “less physically strong” is degrading is because they put value in physical strength and less value in other characteristics. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if people realized that two people of different physical strength still have the same worth and the same inherent dignity.
@Mr. Shark Tooth Well the topic and title of the video mentions "denigrating" and the OP of this thread is simply questioning the thinking of those whom Metatron is making his case against. I guess maybe you could see it as the OP supporting the ideas of the video or slightly expanding.
@@Ontarianmm God made them what they were supposed to be: rational human beings. But somewhere, somehow, at some time after that, they became what they are now: people with a misplaced inclination for justice and a skewed degree of common sense.
@@AnyxRaven so, what I was missing the quotes from all the university studies Metatron mentioned. I can believe he read up on the matter, but first he only namedrops them, not even says which great professors in the field he knows of; and second, this pain threshold bit sounds a bit questionable. Is he just speaking about illness, or also for example torture? Who has studied that??
@@Enyavar1 The pain threshold thing has been studied and is indeed a myth. Men actually have slightly higher pain thresholds than women, which makes sense, as men do the fighting. The hormones produced in women during pregnancy cause adaptations in the body that effectively increase a women's pain threshold as she goes into labour. Built in painkillers. The flu example he gave is a separate issue. Studies have shown that men are more harshly affected by flu symptoms.
That must mean that women don't have the willpower to train! Really, the whole "we aren't strong because we weren't told to be" (I mean, I thought women didn't like being told what to do?) is a whole lot more insulting to women than to accept that there are natural differences between men and women.
Funny story. I'm a pretty short Asian dude and I had a female manager of African/Hispanic descent. She went to the gym several times a week, was taller than me, and had more body mass than I did. One day at work, she was struggling to carry a box and called me over telling me to carry it. I hadn't even touched any weights in over 4 years at the time, let her know this fact, and asked her why I should be the one to carry it. She said "because you're a guy." I shrugged my shoulders, gave it a lift, and picked it up with the greatest of ease. It was at that point that I realized just how much more work the average woman needs to put in to match the physical capabilities of the average male, even when that average male isn't in good shape.
When I was a child... I could push around my male cousin easily. We would play fight and wrestle and because I was older and taller I always won. As soon as puberty kicked in good, my cousin could pin me down, hold me away from him, and nothing I did seemed to affect him anymore. This was the moment it clicked in my brain that... oh wait.... men are STRONG. Like... a lot stronger than me. It's not a hard concept to grasp, people just turn a blind eye to inconvenient truths.
Same with my brother and me, except I would start punching him when I had him pinned down. Just before puberty I was put in body casts and then a Milwaukee brace, so he lost out on any retribution, except a mild form where he would grab hold of the two back steel uprights (it was in the days before aluminum) and force march me around the house. Happy days....
Males have about 20 times the testosterone levels of females. This isn't hard. The most fundamental and easily observable aspects of sexual dimorphism are physical and sexual-- men have the physical power, women have the reproductive/sexual power.
For real. Like they say physicality isn't everything, yet they go through the trouble of explaining that acknowledging physical health, advantage, or facts are degrading. The insecurity
I call it a Symptom of an overly Safe and Cotling society. We dont let people experince even simple danger as Children as we did say fifty years ago let alone a Hundred or more. And many people grow up without ever hearing a stern 'NO' or being diciplined by their own parents as is required for a properly aclumated Person to grow out of a child. Our Social Structure makes 'Weak' people ignorant to truth and reality
I agree, Raff. It's good that some few like yourself at least take the trouble to dig into the facts, and I'm happy for you that you seem to enjoy such a broad array of subjects. (That's a teacher speaking to a teacher. XD ) As to the video's topic: A short while ago, I watched a documentary on historical gender roles. Scientists examining human skeletons in Europe found that during the period of hunting and gathering male and female skeletons were quite similar in size with the slight differences towards the men being bigger you get today. When humans started settling, the average size of women obviously decreased dramatically. The archaeological interpretation goes that in a hunting/gathering society roles weren't as clearly defined, both sexes took part in all forms of acquiring food and all ate the same. With settlements, the greater physical strength in men became more important, because the act of defending one's possessions became dramatically more important. It is quite likely, that this became the basis of a patriarchal society in which men had access to better food (for example meat) which kept their sizes equal but diminished those of women. At the beginning of the Bronze Age in Europe, genetical analysis of skeletons has shown that men stayed at their birthplaces (probably inheriting the farm etc.) while women left to far away places (most likely traded for marriage or sent away at a young age and severed contact to their families for a lifetime). I guess this shows, that culture can, to a certain extent, have an impact on how accentuated the difference between sexes is. It also shows that people fighting for gender equality do have a point. But they're missing it, if they are wishing for men and women to be physically equal. It has to be a matter of equal rights, to make sure that everyone is treated the same legally, in terms of payment or how much importance is attributed to them etc. And as to genetic differences that we cannot change, if we use them to benefit one another there is no need to be angry about them.
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl As I said, it's what the archaeologists in the documentary suspected. Hard to say what it really was like some 10,000 years ago. Anyway, they were not stating that there were *no* differences. (From here on it's my own speculation.) Women would naturally have been sure to have more to do with birthing and raising infants. On the other hand, with some females of a tribe - tied through small infants - in charge of a communal nursery, it doesn't seem farfetched that others may have assisted in hunting, where greater numbers contribute to greater success. Women can certainly reach the necessary endurance to herd and goad animals to suitable killing grounds. Though, I guess finally confronting and killing prey like an aurochs would have fallen to the males (and given them a chance to demonstrate their physical strength to accompanying females). On the other hand, I can't see a male hunter just passing by a bush of ripe berries and ignoring them, mumbling to himself, that he is a hunter and will skip the opportunity of gathering valuable nourishment. But yes, this is speculation. Still, the skill sets for both sexes that were necessary for survival may have been considerably more similar and single sexual traits not overly important than in later times after settling, and thus the situation less open to creating an imbalance of power between the sexes. You could come up with other explanations for why women later were obviously malnourished and expected to endure a harder social lot, but I seriously doubt it was of their own choosing, so some sort of equality was lost.
It doesn’t help that fiction portrays physically strong women as petite and small at the same time Like how many Hollywood movies have short pretty and petite women be unreasonably strong Stronger women tend to be taller and huskier. Which doesn’t mix well with being attractive in a feminine sense.
@Zoomer Waffen I think that's a combination of low body fat and the bucket loads of peds(performance enhancement drugs)and fat burners they're on. In fact a lot of the top echelon female bodybuilders look a lot better off season when they regain their pre competition weight or retire.
Honestly that would be my version of the worst life to live, to live in such ignorance would be so world breaking imo, the moment your world view is broken, you break as a person, so I prefer the truth "better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting lie" life is hard and unforgiving but to not accept that means your not really living
@@brandoncampanaro7571 alot of conservatives really aren’t living then considering were still having debates about lgbtq+ people even though we have used sciences to prove the existence of such people tbh it seems people really aren’t living at all just delusional about the truths of the world whether left or right you just see people so desperate to hold on to their ideology that science is ignored
Seeing a History based youtube channel not apologize for showcasing historical fact, not fiction. Then sticking by what they said while providing even more historical, scientific and medical evidence is wonderful to see. Keep it up Metatron👍
they believe that when a scientist say "the norm is such and that" the scientist is saying "you should that because potatoes", they totally ignore the fact that a norm is an statical term, very similar to the average, those are instruments used to have a better understanding about your observations... I guess that's where theirs confusion begins, they confuse norm with average, and norm with an imposition. Then again, we should let the experts talk and ignore those that try to be influencers the easy way.
Yeah. Like I bet if you took your average man from like Tibet and put him up against your average woman from Germany or Sweden than my guess is the European women will naturally be larger and stronger. But if you compare your average man from Germany to your average German woman then it's pretty fair to say the dude will be built larger and thus stronger.
@@Sahiyena11 Wrong, the average Tibetan man could quite easily subdue a German woman. It all comes down to muscle mass and hormones, which is why 13 year old boys can overpower 33 year old women.
The root of political stupidity in both the left and right is the fallacy of division. Just because something is true on average, does not mean it is true for an individual. The is/ought fallacy is added into this as well to make it political; just because something is true on average, does not mean it is should or should not be true for an individual.
The fact this kind of explanation is even necessary nowadays is laughable. Even my grandma knew this as a matter of fact without needing scientific proof because it's OBVIOUS. I can't believe people are questioning some of the most basic human knowledge out there. Says a lot about how sanity is going down the hole. We really live in a society.
@@bruschetta7711 Yes, knowing the "why" and "how" of things is perfectly okay and commendable. I once asked my teacher why the sky was blue, and I got an answer, but I never tried to force on others that it might actually be pink based on nothing feasible - which is exactly what THAT kind of people are doing on several matters... And most of them ACTUALLY don't understand why that's a problem. It's kinda sad, really.
People these days are more exposed to fiction, hence why I believe people these days are more detached from reality. We may call people a century ago backwards but I wonder if their day to day ability to predict things wouldn't be better.
@@bruschetta7711 I think "it's obvious" is the right mentality. If Metatron came up here and told me all the scientific reasons women are equally as strong as men, I wouldn't believe it. If all the prominent scientists in the world did so as well, I wouldn't believe it. We are in a real crisis today where people look to authority figures before, and sometimes wholly without, evaluating honestly for themselves, and then end up with ridiculous beliefs.
@SNES Nes it actually depends. After childbirth the answer tends to be yes. Before childbirth it's less clear. Experiencing pain tends to build tolerance, and everybody is different.
@SNES Nes I read somewhere a long time ago that men have a higher pain threshold in the limbs, chest and back under the influence of adrenaline, while women have higher in the visceral region. I think it may have been in a book titled ‘Co-Ed Combat’, but I don’t recall for sure and can’t vouch for where the author got that statement from.
Ben is more of a "preach to the choir" type of guy, which is fine, but he's hardly gonna change the people who are on the other side. This though is much more palatable to people who lean more towards these ideas, no smug, no gotcha, just trying to establish a point.
@@Poth94 It has to be addressed because this lunacy isn't just a fringe view anymore; it is promoted by government, media, education and everything in between.
Not just our species. Sexual dimorphism is present in many species, including non-vertebrates. Regarding vertebrates it's usually (but not always - Hyenas for example are an exception) the males that are larger and stronger, when speaking about invertebrates this depends on the species, but often it's actually the female that is larger and stronger (think about spiders or mantis for example).
@@HH-hd7nd that's cuz males were built for hunting and females were built for taking care of young. Tho that doesn't mean they can't swap roles or multi task like how lionesses are the main hunters of a pride while the lions just sit on their asses all day lol.
Some say that it's because we live in a time of excess in first world populations, especially us Americans. The average civilian here has no worry of war, drought or constant direct oppression. Because of this we create the oppression without even trying because it's what our animal brains are used to. It's why the idea of a Utopia is folly. Humans need something to satiate our survival instinct monkey brains. We always need some shit to fight, as silly as it is.
for grave indentification: -they look at the skeleton to see if it's a man/woman/child -they identify probable cause of death on the bones perimortem trauma indicate violent death (murder, or died from a battle or a wound by an animal etc) -they also look at healed broken bones or bone fissure, trace of cuts on bone or some specific "fatigue wounds" for swordmans etc, if none of these are present it isn't likely the person was a warrior for a long time or that if they were a soldier that they were ever in a battle -they look at the artifacts that were in the grave and all sword axe etc aren't meant for war some are ornemental signs of power/ceremonial. IIRC in one of the viking burial sites that was a "proof for vikings armies of women" had 2men and 20 or so women and children buried with shields sword and axes, all with perimortem trauma but no signs of healed trauma and was interpreted by actual historian by the settlement was attacked and those who died defending it were burried as warriors to honor their martyrdom.
@@garretgang8349 it was quite unusual to have this number of dead people In a raid as usually raider, were more interested in stealing cattle or other valuable than killing. So IIRC they fought it was a punitive raid. Also a lot of people believe that prehistoric human were peaceful and living of the land without conflict which is untrue, there are many traces of massacres from this period and they are usually very gruesome, like killing an entire settlement burning their houses and leaving them to rot/be eaten by fauna.
@@fredflux2738 Twenty years ago I thought the internet would enlighten us and knowledge would be freely available to everyone but exactly the opposite happened, we might be just be looking on the last years of hard facts before the age of disinformation. Later generations might no longer be able to understand most of reality.
@@ilililil490 stupid people have been around for a long time, and can adopt a lot of different ideologies. It's hardly unique to this generation, it's just that now feminism/egalitarianism is mainstream enough to see a lot of intellectually challenged people trying to making feminist arguments.
Just take a look at all the BS self defense taught everywhere that makes it look like small motions are enough to send a hulking creep recoiling in pain. Overconfidence is never a good thing.
Also noticed that it sifts into feminine language too. I don't remember so many women using threats of violence so often in the past with such a lack of care.
It’s ridiculous to call you misogynistic when you’re saying that, ‘on AVERAGE’ men are stronger than women. At my gym there are some incredibly strong women, but they’re still not lifting as much as the strong men. We have men’s and women’s events in sport for a reason. Can you imagine if a prime Mike Tyson boxed a female heavyweight? Don’t worry man, the vast majority of us love your videos and insights.
Mike Tyson beating on a woman is not something any normal man wants to see. These feminists don't seem to realize that if you challenge the concept that men are stronger than women, it has the following implications: 1. Men beating up women is no longer taboo, all becomes fair play 2. No more women's sport as a separate category
@@humankirk9196 it’s a horrendous outcome for any female athlete. I’m a very progressive person, but I’m also a sportsman, and I get livid when I see people born to male bodies competing in women’s sport because they get their testosterone down to a certain level and are transitioning. Absolutely no problem with people transitioning, just to make that clear, but you can’t bring that in to sports like power lifting, boxing, or any sport for that matter. It’s the women that compete in these sports who hate it more than the general population.
It's sad that we've gotten to the point where we need science to back up basic facts that most of us can easily see . Thank you for having the courage to stand up and speak the truth.
I WOULD say that its not Courage, but with this Worlds fixation on "Cancel Culture" and Other Crap it unfortunately is. Since when did you need to be Courageous to state the Obvious Truth? I'd say, Since Stupidity and Lies have become the Common Norm. Sometimes, I swear that we need Re-Education Camps that Teach Morons basic Lessons in Common Sense. And if we could ONLY declare Stupidity a Disease to be cured...
Yeah i mean in fiction say like sci fi. You could have female supersoldiers that are manufactured to be superior it works there but currently we dont have the ability. Im not sure where i was going with this. I just thought about posing this (dont know why though)
The main issue here is that these people are lookinig for something to latch on, like a tick. They do not care about accuracy or the scientific approach. From what I've seen in the last ten years, even if you do a study, picking 1000 women at random and 1000 men at random, then average out the metrics from all the physical tests, they will say "bUt tHiS iS nOt a lEgIt sUrVeY, bEcAuSe tHe cOnTrOl gRoUp iS tOo sMaLl/hAs tHe wRoNg pEoPlE". Honestly, cultists do not care about factuality or reality.
We've come to a point when even science cannot back it up, let alone common sense. You can win an arm wrestling competition with a woman and she will still be saying that women are stronger than men.
Thank you for standing up for fact. I've tried to raise my children to be the best human they can. I've tried to teach them to be strong. Not necessarily physically strong, but emotionally as well. Because I experienced real sexual discrimination, I promised to myself that if my girls want to do anything typically though as being a boy thing, I would fight for them to do it. I've allowed my kids to become who and what they are. I've given guidance, but haven't pushed my boys to become stronger. It actually took me by surprise to discover my youngest son has a six pack and muscle like stone. On the other hand, it took my youngest girl about 9 years to turn from tomboy to princess tomboy.
You sound like my mother! She succeeded! Now we, my parents children, have passed that on to grandchildren which include MIT grad rocket scientist, PhD in BIOphysics and hospital administrator, and two more graduate Engineers. Boys went on to the Air Force Academy, a fishing boat skipper in Alaska.
My friend and I (both women) were just talking about this topic last weekend. Her brother is a bit of an SJW and when she once told him men are stronger than women, he about had a stroke and couldn't believe she'd make such a claim. She and I both laughed at the fact that a good number of people believe that women and men have the same strength on average. It's ludicrous! How do people come to that conclusion!?
Because some people are raised poorly. I make a distinction between being ‘the same’ and ‘equal’ because the base strengths and weaknesses between men and women are distributed differently, but add up to the same total value.
My sister is the same. Whenever I ask one of my boys to carry something or open something for me she has a fit. Having reared a bunch of kids my own plus fostered little boys are physically stronger than girls from the start. They go through a male puberty in the womb that's why you have to be so careful with certain drugs etc in puberty. They also have one around 10-11 when they go a bit nuts. These are the things no one tell parents but they really should. People think they need to tell boys to just suck it up etc when it's their hormones etc that are adjusting.
the key would be to mention ON AVERAGE, personally my grandma would rip my arms off any day of the week, because im a nerdy programmer, and she was a Profesional tenis player
This reminds me of when I was a newcomer to karate in my mid teens. I was almost at my current height 6'5", and about 200 pounds. I wasn't very skilled, and on our sparring day an experienced and older (early 20s) female showed up to practice. She was very quick, with fast, dynamic and flexible kicks. She was very aggressive and talked openly about how she "enjoyed beating the men" who all seemed to go easy on her. Our sparring was meant to be light and controlled, so I was surprised by her intensity when she nearly broke my nose with a hard kick. As I was wiping away the blood, she didn't apologize, only smirked at her handi work. When we resumed sparring, she went for the same kick again, only this time I caught her clean with a cross that put her on her ass nearly unconscious. When she got her wits back she whined about my control. The way I seen it, I did her a favor by giving her a reality check. Thanks for the great video rooted in reason and backed by science. I'm sure there are plenty of lunatic sjws lined up foaming at the mouth to scream nonsense at you.
That seems like a woman who was used to being looked down upon, but got enough power to level the playing field, but in doing so became the exact same thing she hated. And when, as you say, she got a reality check, it suddenly wasn't very fun. Just like men underestimate her because she's a relatively small woman, she vastly underestimated your raw power. If she hadn't been dumb, she probably wouldn't have been hit there. I hope she has mellowed out over the years, and become less arrogant.
@@thedarkknight9021 she could, initially she feinted low and in my youthful inexperience I ducked forward and low trying to catch her, only to bring my face to her foot, lol.
As a woman who studied martial intensely for decades, allow me to tell anyone who will listen: men are stronger than women. This is true from elementary school through to adulthood. When I was in kindergarten studying taekwondo, boys could already do more pull ups, more pushups, run faster and jump higher. This is not debatable or rare. Even men who are physically smaller or out of shape can be stronger and beat up or take hits from women who are in great shape by virtue of them just having naturally stronger musculoskeletal structure. I have witnessed and experienced this many times in my training. The only time mentioning this fact is bad is if it followed by denial of opportunity for women. If I had been told I couldn't study boxing or martial arts BECAUSE I am a woman and women are weaker that would be bad, but acknowledging this fact is important for women to properly train and be safe while doing so.
"Denial of opportunity" is a good thing in a lot of areas. If you aren't capable of doing a job, you should be denied the opportunity of doing it. If you've ever seen a female firefighter try to break down a door or a female police officer try to apprehend a suspect you'd know this instantly. And it's hilarious that dying horrifically at war is presented as a privilege and being protected from it is presented as oppression.
I would argue there are some fields where it absolutely should be barring participation - and that is some fields of combat and firefighting, and policing. Firefighters here often work in teams of two. Now, what happens if the 200 lbs athletic male plus gear gets trapped and needs help, or the frail grandmother needs to be safely carried down the stairs? What about forcefully opening doors. If a woman can prove she can keep up with the men, sure, why not. But lowering the standards to enable women to participate? Absolutely not. People trapped in a burning room don't care how good you are relatively to your sex-based limits, they care whether you get the damn door open or not. As for policing ... I don't know, putting a woman on patrol feels like giving yourself as the police an automatic handicap. Women absolutely have their place in policework, but patrolling the streets, alone in a car? Dunno. Seen enough videos where male BYSTANDERS have to help the female cop subdue the bad guy. To be fair, I've seen a lot of out of shape male cops, too.
@@givmi_more_w9251 Good points, especially the fire fighter having to help a fellow fire fighter who weighs 200 lbs. Women police officers can be necessary in situations where the offender is a female, to avoid accusations of sexual misconduct.
The reason I disagree cause prepubescent boys don’t have like more muscle mass or denser bones. It could be cause boys are more likely to practice. Now the same is for adults? I say somewhat, but biological reason is still a factor for anyone pass puberty.
And I would bet both records were set with the help of additional male hormones (or at least synthetic alternatives) being injected to increase muscle mass. 683 pounds is impressive though, more than any gym bro I've ever met, more than Jon Jones, more than most rugby players or American footballers.
Just watched a video where a guy went through a bunch of men vs women world records. tl:dr, the only times he could find women closest to men, and even beating men, are high endurance races. By high endurance, I mean something like 2+ days or 200+ miles. He didn't bother even taking anything regarding picking something up, since most of the sports which involve it actually use different weights between men and women.
I think it's important to not fall into labeling people like that. They have their reasons for believing what they do. Usually it's deeper than them being stupid. You cannot convince people if you don't try to understand where they are coming from.
@@Gahanun Calling them willfully ignorant is pretty nice to be fair. The issue usually lies in people being fed a narrative, with a high chance of thinking their belief's are the only moral way of thinking, so anytime they hear anything different they attack them like mad with a healthy dose cognitive dissonance
Metatron is literally the man of culture. Like in all his videos he seems to me so thoughtful, open-minded and humurous about everything I couldn't even imagine him being homophobic. Metatron, you are somewhat of a savior of pure objectiveness in today's world of social justice warriors
Thank you so much for responding to this way of thinking with knowledge and energy. As an older woman, I usually just roll my eyes and hope for sanity to return.
This is why I love Metatron, not only does his videos help me get my facts right, but his courage to not apologize to morons who feel entitled for an apology when they don't deserve it is an inspiration.
never apologize when you think you never did wrong, especialy with the SJW as they use your apology as a gotcha moment to say you were just a ist or phobe and harass you more, so glad to see someone like metatron standing for science in front of those peeps
Yup, the first rule of dealing with sjw is to never apologize. Halfway through the video I was wondering Metatron takes his time to respond to those statements, then I came to the conclusion that we are where we are because those statements weren't shoot down early enough. He ja doing God's work
@@FrenchLightningJohn It's disgusting when some people actually give into the Stupid Jackass Whiners and apologize. I think that there is no distinction between the SJWs and Karens, both are entitled. I watched a few videos of Reddit posted stories, and there was one that Krown's channel that mentioned a bookstore manager who gave into the demands of a Karen. This beast mistook a customer as an employee, wouldn't listen to the shopper that the person was not an employee, the beast complained to the manager, and the manager to placate the beast said that the other customer was "fired."
It still amazes me when people choose to argue with accepted historical fact. I consider myself a super inclusive person, I wish history always involved men and women as equals heading off to war together or whatever but that simply did not happen and blaming people like you for simply reporting historical facts is ridiculous. Anyway, great video as always my friend.
I don't even think that idealistic scenario may even be a good thing in the first place. Male and Female is meant to be more than just outward appearance that can be changed at will.
I have to disagree with your wish about men and women heading off to war. War is awful, and doubling the amount of the able bodies that get thrown into it can't end well, for them or civilization.
On a pragmatic level, and often overlooked, besides the wisdom of...at least in the old days before guns, etc, putting a "weaker" combatant into the fray with a sword/spear, etc and hope for the best. A culture that sent it's women to war en mass, would quickly find themselves facing extinction on a long enough timeline. Take a village of 50 men and 50 women for example. Excluding the too old/too young.. you send 35 men off to war against the rival tribe...... all but 5 are killed. Now that culture is left with 5 men and say 35 sexually viable women (numbers are totally arbitrary but just for this exercise). Let's do the reverse now.... they send the 35 women off to war and all but 5 come (presumably less if they attempted to take on an all male army). You see the problem? In some ways, the male is more 'disposable" than the female of our species. You tend to see this in other areas too such as IQ levels where there tends to be a greater abundance of men at the extremities than women. I forget which women said it, but the best quote I've heard on the topic is "Men and Women ARE different. What needs to be made equal is the value we place on those differences."

@@elitedragon3826 I had social justice in mind. But religion does the same thing when they deny biological evolution (not all religious people do that, though).
@@Valdyr_Hrafn my dude the overton window has moved so far to the left that people who are centrist are labeled as alt right so you post is stupid as fk. people are literally labeled as alt right if they make mild statements such as the one in this video about men being on average stronger than women.
As a woman with a predominantly high amount of fast twitch muscle (according to 23andme), broad shoulders and more muscle mass than your average female, I agree with everything you said in defense of truth, Metatron. I suppose that excess testosterone in my body also made me admire "patriarchal" objectivity and eschew emotional rationalization, especially when delivered in language that sounds like the person has the life experience of a middle school student. "Like fer realz, y'all."
I would describe myself very similarly to how you’ve described yourself. I love being this way, I’m solid and strong, but still not stronger than many men. My husband who’s a strength athlete and my training partner can throw me around like I’m a pillow.
@@UlpianHeritor whoever said they murdered people for God where liars . Those where fake Christians that said God wanted them to murder as an excuse to do sin. If we look at the words of God in the Bible ,i assure you those people where not real Christians at all.
Also we don't dig war or battles that much. Only if it's to protect our land and family, not because of adrenaline rush. We'd rather engage in peaceful activities if at all possible.
Unless you're a ruler, someone did the math and apparently women rulers are 1.2 times (36% vs 30%) more likely to initiate an offensive conflict (e.g. war) against another nation than a male ruler That ofc can be a coincidence due to the smaller sample. My bet is that with a bigger sample the result would be equal. This is why I don't like to pander to patriarchy bs...the only archy that ever existed is power and money, rich and powerful women were in no way inferior to men.
I’ve discussed this with people many times, and I’m still amazed how many idiots are ignorant of basic facts about human physiology. You explained it better than I could, metatron. Hopefully you’ve changed some minds.
If women were truly as strong as men on average, then society would not view male violence towards women the way it does. The US Army recently did a test and shock....the men outperformed the women in every task even down to accuracy when shooting. The same women who claim to be just as strong are also the ones who preach about female abuse the most...this in itself contradicts their whole argument. Now would a highly trained fighter like Ronda Rousey beat the shit out of the average man, yes. Would she win against a mildly trained fighter, probably not.
The gf of my hema instructor (who is also a hema instructor) said: she's so jealous at men she trains six days per week and her bf just needs two or three days and still makes faster progress than her. She's a realist. I don't know why people these days are so offended of science.
Not 100% sure that is due to sexual dimorphism, or individual variability. Fight IQ and confidence are hard to pick up if you don't naturally have them.
@@joejoelesh1197 the point of her sentence wasn't about hema, but physical fitness. Btw she teaches the women class to focus more on the core than men would usually do, to strike faster/harder. She's a very skilled fighter who can fight equally with men, except if it comes to wrestling, so she have to prevent that from happening. She joined the national team of Germany this year.
"...she trains six days per week..." I don't know here training plan but this can be a problem for everyone. training every day is ineficient, you shoud give your muscels time to recover. so split your training on diferent muscle groups ore just train every 2-3 days. have funn sand sucsess :)
@Jinxed Swashbuckler I am curious in regards to mental differences such as reaction times. While I may accept that man on average have the advantage, is it possible for the disadvantaged side to catch up? To use RPG terms for simplicity, do men have higher level caps of potential than women or do both sides share the same level cap of potential (i.e. the fastest reacting women is just as quick as her male counterpart), just with men having a head start? Pardon my ignorance of science. Then again, even scientists are still trying to figure out how brains work.
@@TheLastSterling1304 Well no, you should base your opinions on the scientific consensus if you don't plan to research the topic at hand with experiments.

The thing is: in my opinion, he doesn't need to make this vid, no. He could only bring up two random comments on a video with thousands. This belief is so fringe and the obviously correct position is held even by the vast majority of feminists. I don't see any need to make this video.
@@bubson2981 You would be surprised how far reaching this belief is. It's what we call a "loud minority". Some researchers even lost their jobs for DARING to state that women are biologically different than men and that you can't change your sex with current technology...
Sexual dimorphism can be shifted towards the females in size and strength in other taxa, such as eagles and hawks in which the females are usually larger, and spiders, in which females basically dwarf the males by comparison. These are not denied by these people, so why should we deny our own traits of sexual dimorphism? Also, please post your articles.
And then let's not forget the hilarity that is the hyena (where females are not only bigger and stronger but have shlongs that are larger than the males). Sexual dimorohism is true in almost all mammals, and somehow it's only on humans that it's become an issue for these people.
i remember those large yellow/black spiders at fogo island in Cabo Verde. They were some 10cm with legs and had some 5 mm babies in their nets too, later I learned, they are males.
This is why biological males should never be allowed to compete against women no matter what they "identify" as. Its patently unfair. Thanks for your videos. Objective truth must be defended although I never thought I'd see the day when it had to be.
I really really respect your no BS policy and not giving in to those trying to water history and scientific facts with their politics. Thank you for beeing you Metatron. Ti saluto

@@metatronyt hey Raff, you may wanna read my comment; I address something you seem to've *missed* in it. Actually, nevermind; I can just repost it for you here: Nice that you addressed this with *objective science* Raff; SJWs are just all about history *revisionism* , and science *denialism* ; you could show them *absolute proof* that the Earth's a *sphere* , a fact that people quite *literally* understood *over a thousand years* ago, and they'd *stubbornly insist* that it was actually *flat* ; that's why science denialists like SJWs are often called "Flat Earthers" after all. There *is* however, one thing I'd like to address that you seem to've forgotten, and that's *gravity centers* ; men like myself tend to be stronger than women in the *upper* bodies because the upper body's *our* gravity center, and so we *have* to be stronger there to keep a proper balance; the fact that we men tend to have broader *shoulders* than women should be *proof* of that. Conversely, women tend to have broader *hips* than us men, and that's because the *lower* body's a *woman's* gravity center; *that* means that, to keep a proper balance, out of biological *necessity* , women are actually *stronger* than us men in their *lower* bodies. That means that if you were to compare a male and female fighter of the same general strength level, while the man *would* in fact be able to throw the harder *punches* and other *arm* attacks, the *woman* would be able to throw the harder *kicks* and other *leg* attacks ( *yes* , there's a *biological* basis for women's unarmed fighting styles being more *kick-centric* than men's in media). To put it a more *metaphorical* way, where men are *axes* and *bludgeons* , women are *swords* . And that's actually what I believe to be the *reason* melee weapons act as an equalizer; because even though they're held in the *hands* , the *power* in a melee weapon swing or thrust *actually* comes from the *core* muscle, *two* groups of which, the upper *leg* muscles and the *hip* muscles, are in the *lower* body, where the *woman* is the stronger sex, while the *ab* muscles are the *only core* muscle group that's in the *upper* body, where the *man* is the stronger sex. Lastly, there's a *different* article I'd like to show you that, from what I've read of it, is actually far more *objective* than the article you read because it *doesn't* bring political bullshit into it at *any* point; it actually *presents* the ways in which women are *different* from men, and explains that women aren't building as much muscle as men because they're working out *same way* as men, which the article *itself* says *doesn't* play to a woman's physiological strengths; here it is if you're interested: mennohenselmans.com/natural-muscular-potential-women/
@Judy 21 y.o - check my vidéó I think you'd be interested in reading my reply right above yours; though of course Raff's *right* to point out how these SJWs are *wrong* .
As a biologist, I am seriously impressed by how well-researched this video is, however, I am astonished by the fact that a video like this one is even necessary.... Did these people sleep in biology class? We really do live in the age of misinformation.
Are males stronger than females? Most of the time, yes. On average, yes. In the extremes, yes. Always and in every case, no. I don’t understand why any sane person can see that as controversial. It is there to see for everyone with eyes.
@@MmmEERTGF Yes, a professional women athlete can be more capable than your average Joe. But not compared to her professional male counterpart. That is what I meant by in the extremes.
For me as being a rower for my whole life, we have also a lot of hard training girls and women in our rowing club, but as some of them even went to world championships and did there quite well, I am still faster and lift a lot more weights without being close to the top male rowers...
@@kurtrussell3468 To be fair the standard of women’s football is much lower than the male standard. What I do find interesting however is how high the standard of female MMA is. Male MMA is still a higher standard but the gap is way way smaller. I guess when someone is trying to take your head off it has a way of focusing the athlete some what.
@@Quodge Imo it's due to Jiu Jitsu. I am admittedly a fanboy, however I do think you would agree that a trained female vs an untrained male has a much higher chance of success in a grappling / submission exchange with no striking allowed, as opposed to a Muy Thai fight. However, I do agree the gap is smaller and find it fascinating. Excellent point. Cheers.
The issue with not doing this is that traditionally feminine characteristics have not been seen in a positive light. Or, more accurately, not seen as strengths. Our society has generally seen masculine traits as better. Things like assertiveness, dominance, logic, these have all been considered masculine traits while feminine traits like meekness, compassion, religiosity, emotionality are seen as lesser. Not necessarily bad but lesser. Think of the insult “stop being so emotional”. Now, millennials and zoomers don’t really think in these older categories but a few hundred years of social assumptions don’t just disappear because women are now paid the same as men in jobs without wage negotiation. This is why we continue to portray heroic women as having traditionally male characteristics (despite those characteristics being mostly socially determined).
@@adorabell4253 I have to challenge a few of your assumptions here as that might have been your experience but I don't think it exists in all of society. Dominance is certainly not seen in a positive light, it is almost always a trait that villains are given. Or just look at how the Roman or British Empire are largely seen as bad, is dominating other cultures just imperialism? Not quite sure what you mean by religiosity but I will point out that men have more often then not been the religious leader. As someone who has a female pastor I still see the men leading the prayer more often then not. I wouldn't link logic to masculinity. I see where you get that perception but masculinity is linked to aggressiveness more directly and that is a direct counter to logic, not unlike how emotionality counters logic in women. I completely agree about the meekness vs assertiveness. But I will point out that no society would value meekness over assertiveness, or at least they are not likely to survive against the other societies since assertiveness is almost always a benefit. Have you ever seen the trope when the hero spares the villain with the story saying that took more strength then vengeance? That seen at least makes the case that compassion is not seen as a lesser trait but one of the most heroic traits. And in the 5 man band trait the compassionate character is always female. I see your point but I think the perception that you have might be more the result of entertainment giving women masculine traits rather then the cause of it. Most of the things I mentioned are far more prevent in older media, such as star trek.
@@adorabell4253 There's a grain of truth to that, but not sure I follow where you're coming from. As the above comment points out, it's pervasive in mostly modern films and shows. The trope of the buff, unflappable heroine was pretty much invented by millenials and zoomers. The further back you go, the more feminine the female characters seem to be. Just compare, say, Captain Marvel to Phoenix or Rogue from the 2000 X-men. Compare new Charlies Angels to old Charlies Angels. So I don't think it follows that this is the result of some traditional mindset if it's a recent phenomenon. But I agree that it may have to do with the millenial/zoomer mindset, vis-a-vis, they are unwilling or afraid to portay any woman as weak or vulnerable soas not to seem like they aren't champions of the cause of strong and brave warrior women. It's the soft bigotry of low expectations. It's also a bit of an oversimplification that feminine characteristics weren't traditionally portrayed positively. In action movies, maybe, where those traits aren't generally ideal for the situation. But for every Predator there was also a Pretty in Pink, wherein women were portrayed as smart, compassionate, meek, emotional and it's not seen as lesser to men. Yes, those traits can be flaws - characters are supposed to have flaws - but we still root for those women as women. Their struggle isn't to become more masculine, they usually become more feminine by the end of the film. And right, it's not a bad thing. Never really has been. So if anything, it's millenials and zoomers who are uncomfortable with feminine qualities. Many of them have been conditioned to conflate supporting women with giving them unconditional adoration and approval. It's not really a healthy or realistic worldview, which is why it so often collides with basic facts like "men are stronger than women".
Today's western cosmopolitan societies don't place any value on the traditional feminine anymore. It's an unescapable aspect of basing your society around the fictitious idea of equality instead of simply leaving that tenet in the system of law. Sexes are not equal, lifestyles are not equal, no two people are equal, no two ethnicities are equal, no two races are equal. This is obvious to everyone unless it was ingrained in them otherwise.
I'm new to this and I'm very impressed with how well you make your arguments. You should give a TEDX talk or a master class on how it's done. To the subject at hand, the U.S. Army also knows the difference between men and women, just look at the physical training requirements.

If that was the case then most religious beliefs would have been heavily debunked many years ago. But it's like Adam Savage says: "I reject your reality, and substitute it with my own."
The problem is, for communists, it goes against their ideal world of absolute equality. There can be NO differences between people in their communist utopia. We can't wear different clothes, drive different cars, speak different languages et cetera as these would invite division in society. Ergo, men and women can't be different; if men and women are inherently different, then communism is inherently impossible (something they will never accept).
I'm a pretty strong woman... but my husband is a pretty strong man and I could never ever build the muscle he has or compete with him in any way but YAY! He's a good man and I'm not a crazy feminist so life is great. I can't imagine anyone debating this nonsense!

@@Valdyr_Hrafn "Oh yeah, depending on what and how you say it it makes sense." So, not only does not everyone agree, it is in fact still a very controversial statement, when it shouldn't be. "In most cases it's used for some kind of sexist argumentation." That doesn't just assume facts not in evidence, it assumes knowledge you couldn't possibly have. At most, you can say 'in most cases I am aware of,' and even then, I doubt that your charcaterization of other peoples' arguments as 'sexist' holds true, at least if we're talking about the word 'sexist' in the way I think you're using it. The fact is, reality is 'sexist.' There are a whole host of physiological and psychological differences between men and women that make them more or less suited to doing particular things, that is an inarguable fact, and people like you deny that it is, preemptively, because of your morals.

@@Ontarianmm No worries, mate. I was merely agreeing with the vid, that acknowledging that men and women are different is not an insult to either gender.
This is what I thought as well. If you look at medieval combat. A lot of it is hand to hand fighting with melee weapons, which encourages strength and size. Yes there’s technique, discipline, and unit cohesion. But we can’t deny that strength and size play a significant role in combat.
See Henry 8th and his lords, the ones mentioned in histories, they all were well over six foot tall, they came from generations of aristocratic families that ate very well, the males would be on a very high ratio meat diet, that translates intos large males post puberty. ideally fitted to be warriors and lords. The peasantry were lucky to be 5'5" due to their haphazard diet bordering on malnutrition..
In academia Archeology, anthropology, and history are now being implored to rectify history and fact for the sake of fitting in with contemporary values. Regardless of how “benevolent” the people asking for change might view themselves, prioritizing agenda over fact is disgusting and should never be condoned.
This terrifies me and keeps me up at night, we’re destroying progress and wiping away the history of the progress we made to get where we are now… this is the stuff of stagnation and extinction.
It's baffling that there even needs to be any sort of discussion. It's completely inarguable that, all other things being equal, men will always be stronger than women. Those who freak out over this simple fact are directly insinuating that strength is directly tied to worth, or value. It's 100% a them problem.
It is honestly really unfortunate that in the pursuit of equality, the culture (especially entertainment) has decided that women must assume the man’s role, like pursuing careers, obtaining wealth and leadership, and being physically strong and able to defeat others in combat. It seems ironic that the only traits valuable in a woman according to modern feminism are masculine ones. It’s a mindset divorced from the foundation of the culture which is family, and I cannot help but believe feminism has impacted it negatively. When family is paramount, nothing can be more important than raising a child, which is why femininity is so powerful, and why it’s so sad to see a general loss of femininity. My 2¢
"It's completely inarguable that, all other things being equal, men will always be stronger than women. " That's the opposite of what Metatron actually said. No, ON AVERAGE, men will be stronger than women. That does not mean they will ALWAYS be stronger than women.
Which, that family is the foundation of culture, or that feminist ideology is divorced from family? To the second point, while implicit, I meant in the comment that feminism teaches that _career_ is paramount in culture rather than family; that in order to be happy, women need the things men have which women have been supposedly held back from having. I don’t really need evidence to tell you that feminists (especially in entertainment) spend much more time helping women pursue careers than helping them be proficient in the home, that much is obvious. And it’s not hard to find feminist philosophers who view marriage as an institution to perpetuate the patriarchy. Kate Millett, Germaine Greer, and Shulamith Firestone, feminist bestsellers from the 70’s, endorsed sexual liberation and smashing the nuclear family (I got this from a Google search, so like I said, not hard to find). Moreover, I think there is correlation between the rise in feminism and the decline of marriage, with 40% of children born to single mothers nationally, which was around 5% in the 60’s, when 2nd wave feminism came about (not to discount other factors). Do we need to get into why traditional two parent families are the best?
The sad thing is, that we need youtubers to tell us well established scientific facts as media, scientific institutions and even medical journals fail either because they've become politically subverted, or just because of (justified) fear of cancel culture.

Yes ; There is a big push to make women in history seen as warriors . Sadly for those people it is a fantasy - much like the Amazons; If a army is made up of women and other of men the men will win.
@@romainvicta3076 with sound tactics, terrain, strategy, equipment etc an army of women could theoretically beat an army of men it would just be an uncommon outcome. Battles are extremely unpredictable which is why almost all war games/strategy games involve dice rolls, so there’s always a possibility everything goes wrong for one side in a battle. That being said the logistics behind a woman army doesn’t make sense, and a culture would have surely had trouble growing if it was women going off into conflicts exclusively, or even 50/50. Especially in times of increased conflict like ancient world that almost guarantees long term population decline to the point where it’s irreversible.
@@JeffPenaify The strategy, tactics and the decisions depend upon the army a general has. A simple reason why a better general would lose to lesser one is because of the army's men and its equipment. Take the example of Hannibal and Scipio. Scipio's heavier armored and more experienced men outperformed the first two layers of Hannibal's army. You cannot arm a women in a same way that as a man. The equipment cannot be as heavy. Then there are female biological downsides such as menstrual periods. Having a large part of your fighting force down because they are having a biological process will be disastrous.
I'm always amazed to come to the realization that there are people who actually live in denial of reality and instead prefer the reality fed to them by the social media bubble they live in. It's modern brain rot.
Someone in the comments said something similar to what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyways. People think that physical strength makes you more superior because that seems to be the only strength that is focused on. No one recognizes mental strength for example. Men can do things that women can't, and vice versa. It doesn't make one better than the other, it just makes us different. As a woman, I don't feel inferior because I have to ask for help if I can't lift something heavy, or if I need to ask my big, burly guy friend to walk me back to my car. Also I will say that I was helping a friend move, and this guy who was there was much skinnier than I am and he was able to lift way heavier things than me.
"You're a misogynist, women are only empowered when they are exactly like men." If people don't see the irony in that, and can't see that women have their respective female qualities instead from trying to masculinize women, as if only masculine qualities were good, then I have bad news for you.
My girlfriend used to said why the tendency of having a boyishly partner is so high in lesbian couple, why femine lesbian couple is a rarity? Well that's the answer.
@@chico9805 You are so very wrong... Feminism at its core is the notion that women should not be subservant to male. It stipulates that women should not be treated as lesser (as in litteral furniture or cattel in some societies) and should have equal rights and the ability to determine their fate. What you describes is a perversion propagated by people with an agenda to lessen the aforementionned cause or by morons (read SJW) and should not be called feminism.

My wife and I are both classical musicians. We both never: - did any sports or received any physical training - have been told we can or can't accomplish a physical feat I'm still approximately ten times stronger than she is (no hard data, but based on the maximum weight we are able to lift).
This is my new favorite channel. Not for this particular content, but simply due to the fact that you refuse to rewrite history because it may hurt someone's feelings.
The only real truth out there, is as follows: When people are confronted with hard data that clearly shows how absolutely baseline wrong they are, these people tend to get butthurt and default back to their own little wonderland of illusions, then proceed to call it a personal attack. You can't use reason or logic with these people. :)
We can't use reason or logic with them, but everyone and his mom knows they'll still call some blue collar guy to do any housework they need that involves heavy lifting.
It should be noted that this is applicable to all political spectrums. No matter how liberal or conservative you are, if you try to dispute peer-reviewed scientific evidence with unsupported claims and assumptions then you’re screwed.

Let's wait 5 years and see...
just subbed!
I’m a workout junkie and I’ve competed against men in martial arts and obstacle racing. Anyone who says women are as strong as men has never wrestled a man or challenged a man to a pull-up competition. Why can’t these people just let us women be the best we can be and respect us for it?
Because these activist have such a frail selfsteem that they _NEED_ to be cheered as the most superior and peerless beings that ever existed, either by projection or by proxy...
They're not satisfied with being good, they have to "make" everyone else worse
Because they were trained to believe that a woman can and should achieve all the most desirable traits that men have to claim us useless. To think differently is misogynistic...
I grew just annoyed at hearing the amount of women thinking they could take on a man with a foot of height and 150lbs of muscle on them because they know no men will test them on that fact, or think they need no men when 90% of the infrastructure in western civilisations are taken care of by men.
The sad thing is is that such mentality only cares about women when they are validating their point... they treat people like knotches in a belt and don't care about the person themselves.
@inovade That’s not even a sentence.
@inovade It sounds like you’re saying women don’t deserve respect because we aren’t as strong as you.
@inovade I thought I was pretty clear. Once we go through puberty, the male body has 30% more maximum capacity upper body strength, 20% more maximum capacity lower body strength, and about 20% more maximum oxygen-carrying capacity. The top 10% of elite female athletes will never be competitive against the top 10% of elite male athletes. This means that a woman will never podium at the professional or Olympic level against men. (Ultra-Marathon runners may eventually find that’s not true in that one sport, due to women carrying more fat reserves for ultra-endurance, but that’s about it.)
I can beat about 50% of the men in my (completely amateur) class in obstacle racing. Does it make me less worthy of respect as a person because I’ll never beat the top 50% of men? Why do so many people equate physicality with superiority and think women aren’t worthy of respect as people because we aren’t as strong or as fast?
So, I think we agree, but it was difficult to tell from your original statement.
As a physical therapist, I have to deal with that kind of nonsense pretty often, trying to educate people with clear evidence without getting told being a „sexist“. And I’m thankful, that Someone like you really made a good video about that theme. Hopefully it reaches a few people out there and they understand the difference.
I think people take idea that sexual dimorphism isn't perfectly binary (that is - there is middle ground between sexes) and go to wrong conjectures from there.
A lot of people are bad with small percentages. There is small overlap between sexes (on every level, even anatomically) and a lot of people want to eighter completely ignore it or to think that there is no difference between sexes. It is hard to fathom for them that although in 99/100 cases you can think traditionally about sexual dimorphism, not in all cases traditional view holds. And those 1/100 - those exeptions are not exeptions - they are overlap between normal distributions - thus they are normal too, they are not freaks.
it won't reach anyone. Social Justice is a cult.

As a women it is very strange to me that this upsets people so. Just because a man may be physically stronger doesn’t mean that he had more value as a human.
Unfortunately I think the 'upset' comes from the pushed repeated---- pushed repeated---- idea that it DOES!!!
Agree
The problem is that alot of MEN believe that their physical strength DOES increase their value. You have men out here thinking they are the best thing since sliced f_cking bread because they can lift a car. I can be the shortest and weakest female on the face of the planet but if i have a gun and know how to use it those big f_cking muscles on your d_mb male body isn't going to help you in the slightest. Men don't realize that
They think they are superior to women in every way because of what-... how many f_cking rocks they can carry? When they ought to be concerned with all the rocks jiggling around in their f_cking skulls.
It's way more strange and ironic than that - in reality, men go and fight because men are *expendable*
I feel like a lot of these idpol types refuse to be more precise than "human" when evaluating personal value. Do men have more value than women, on average, as people, because of their size and strength? No. Do they have more value as soldiers or fire fighters for the same traits? Absolutely, yes. Do women have more value as people for being more empathetic than men? No. Do they have more value as councilors or social workers for the same trait? Yes, of course they do. Yet, observing these objective truths is sexist. I think refusing to recognize what people are good at is sexist.
As a female who coaches longjump and triple jump, it is easy to see the disparity between male and female: look at the records. Jumping requires strength. Yes, thete are boys who jump worse than the girls, but the records speak for themselves. I am proud to be a woman without hangups about who is better. We are just different.

Frankly the whole thing baffles me. Men and women are complementary, not competitive; there is no need to lose ones mind over our obvious physical differences.

The only reason these people think being “less physically strong” is degrading is because they put value in physical strength and less value in other characteristics. This wouldn’t be as much of an issue if people realized that two people of different physical strength still have the same worth and the same inherent dignity.

The pain threshold thing has been studied and is indeed a myth. Men actually have slightly higher pain thresholds than women, which makes sense, as men do the fighting. The hormones produced in women during pregnancy cause adaptations in the body that effectively increase a women's pain threshold as she goes into labour. Built in painkillers.
The flu example he gave is a separate issue. Studies have shown that men are more harshly affected by flu symptoms.

I had one feminist claim "men were only stronger than women, because they trained more". Let's just ignore puberty and testosterone!?
Or the fact that early high school aged *BOYS* -beat- a team of _professional_ fully grown and matured *WOMEN*
oh dear....
That must mean that women don't have the willpower to train! Really, the whole "we aren't strong because we weren't told to be" (I mean, I thought women didn't like being told what to do?) is a whole lot more insulting to women than to accept that there are natural differences between men and women.
Funny story. I'm a pretty short Asian dude and I had a female manager of African/Hispanic descent. She went to the gym several times a week, was taller than me, and had more body mass than I did. One day at work, she was struggling to carry a box and called me over telling me to carry it. I hadn't even touched any weights in over 4 years at the time, let her know this fact, and asked her why I should be the one to carry it. She said "because you're a guy." I shrugged my shoulders, gave it a lift, and picked it up with the greatest of ease. It was at that point that I realized just how much more work the average woman needs to put in to match the physical capabilities of the average male, even when that average male isn't in good shape.
So were they saying women couldn't or wouldn't train as hard?
When I was a child... I could push around my male cousin easily. We would play fight and wrestle and because I was older and taller I always won. As soon as puberty kicked in good, my cousin could pin me down, hold me away from him, and nothing I did seemed to affect him anymore. This was the moment it clicked in my brain that... oh wait.... men are STRONG. Like... a lot stronger than me.
It's not a hard concept to grasp, people just turn a blind eye to inconvenient truths.
Same with my brother. But he is good to me, luckily.
Same with my brother and me, except I would start punching him when I had him pinned down. Just before puberty I was put in body casts and then a Milwaukee brace, so he lost out on any retribution, except a mild form where he would grab hold of the two back steel uprights (it was in the days before aluminum) and force march me around the house. Happy days....
Males have about 20 times the testosterone levels of females. This isn't hard. The most fundamental and easily observable aspects of sexual dimorphism are physical and sexual-- men have the physical power, women have the reproductive/sexual power.
For real. Like they say physicality isn't everything, yet they go through the trouble of explaining that acknowledging physical health, advantage, or facts are degrading. The insecurity

As to the video's topic: A short while ago, I watched a documentary on historical gender roles. Scientists examining human skeletons in Europe found that during the period of hunting and gathering male and female skeletons were quite similar in size with the slight differences towards the men being bigger you get today. When humans started settling, the average size of women obviously decreased dramatically. The archaeological interpretation goes that in a hunting/gathering society roles weren't as clearly defined, both sexes took part in all forms of acquiring food and all ate the same. With settlements, the greater physical strength in men became more important, because the act of defending one's possessions became dramatically more important. It is quite likely, that this became the basis of a patriarchal society in which men had access to better food (for example meat) which kept their sizes equal but diminished those of women. At the beginning of the Bronze Age in Europe, genetical analysis of skeletons has shown that men stayed at their birthplaces (probably inheriting the farm etc.) while women left to far away places (most likely traded for marriage or sent away at a young age and severed contact to their families for a lifetime). I guess this shows, that culture can, to a certain extent, have an impact on how accentuated the difference between sexes is.
It also shows that people fighting for gender equality do have a point. But they're missing it, if they are wishing for men and women to be physically equal. It has to be a matter of equal rights, to make sure that everyone is treated the same legally, in terms of payment or how much importance is attributed to them etc. And as to genetic differences that we cannot change, if we use them to benefit one another there is no need to be angry about them.
@@arkenarikson2481 actually no only a small minority of women in modern hunters gathers hunt and all of these societies had will defined gender roles
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl As I said, it's what the archaeologists in the documentary suspected. Hard to say what it really was like some 10,000 years ago. Anyway, they were not stating that there were *no* differences. (From here on it's my own speculation.) Women would naturally have been sure to have more to do with birthing and raising infants. On the other hand, with some females of a tribe - tied through small infants - in charge of a communal nursery, it doesn't seem farfetched that others may have assisted in hunting, where greater numbers contribute to greater success. Women can certainly reach the necessary endurance to herd and goad animals to suitable killing grounds. Though, I guess finally confronting and killing prey like an aurochs would have fallen to the males (and given them a chance to demonstrate their physical strength to accompanying females). On the other hand, I can't see a male hunter just passing by a bush of ripe berries and ignoring them, mumbling to himself, that he is a hunter and will skip the opportunity of gathering valuable nourishment. But yes, this is speculation. Still, the skill sets for both sexes that were necessary for survival may have been considerably more similar and single sexual traits not overly important than in later times after settling, and thus the situation less open to creating an imbalance of power between the sexes. You could come up with other explanations for why women later were obviously malnourished and expected to endure a harder social lot, but I seriously doubt it was of their own choosing, so some sort of equality was lost.
@@MohamedRamadan-qi4hl You're more confident than you ought to be.
It doesn’t help that fiction portrays physically strong women as petite and small at the same time
Like how many Hollywood movies have short pretty and petite women be unreasonably strong

Then again, we should let the experts talk and ignore those that try to be influencers the easy way.
Yeah. Like I bet if you took your average man from like Tibet and put him up against your average woman from Germany or Sweden than my guess is the European women will naturally be larger and stronger.
But if you compare your average man from Germany to your average German woman then it's pretty fair to say the dude will be built larger and thus stronger.
@@Sahiyena11 Wrong, the average Tibetan man could quite easily subdue a German woman. It all comes down to muscle mass and hormones, which is why 13 year old boys can overpower 33 year old women.

-they also look at healed broken bones or bone fissure, trace of cuts on bone or some specific "fatigue wounds" for swordmans etc, if none of these are present it isn't likely the person was a warrior for a long time or that if they were a soldier that they were ever in a battle
-they look at the artifacts that were in the grave and all sword axe etc aren't meant for war some are ornemental signs of power/ceremonial.

It's sad that we've gotten to the point where we need science to back up basic facts that most of us can easily see . Thank you for having the courage to stand up and speak the truth.
I WOULD say that its not Courage, but with this Worlds fixation on "Cancel Culture" and Other Crap it unfortunately is. Since when did you need to be Courageous to state the Obvious Truth? I'd say, Since Stupidity and Lies have become the Common Norm. Sometimes, I swear that we need Re-Education Camps that Teach Morons basic Lessons in Common Sense. And if we could ONLY declare Stupidity a Disease to be cured...
Yeah i mean in fiction say like sci fi. You could have female supersoldiers that are manufactured to be superior it works there but currently we dont have the ability. Im not sure where i was going with this. I just thought about posing this (dont know why though)
The main issue here is that these people are lookinig for something to latch on, like a tick. They do not care about accuracy or the scientific approach. From what I've seen in the last ten years, even if you do a study, picking 1000 women at random and 1000 men at random, then average out the metrics from all the physical tests, they will say "bUt tHiS iS nOt a lEgIt sUrVeY, bEcAuSe tHe cOnTrOl gRoUp iS tOo sMaLl/hAs tHe wRoNg pEoPlE". Honestly, cultists do not care about factuality or reality.
We've come to a point when even science cannot back it up, let alone common sense. You can win an arm wrestling competition with a woman and she will still be saying that women are stronger than men.
Amen
Thank you for standing up for fact. I've tried to raise my children to be the best human they can. I've tried to teach them to be strong. Not necessarily physically strong, but emotionally as well. Because I experienced real sexual discrimination, I promised to myself that if my girls want to do anything typically though as being a boy thing, I would fight for them to do it.
I've allowed my kids to become who and what they are. I've given guidance, but haven't pushed my boys to become stronger. It actually took me by surprise to discover my youngest son has a six pack and muscle like stone. On the other hand, it took my youngest girl about 9 years to turn from tomboy to princess tomboy.
@detective2221 And replace emotions with what? Nature abhors a vacuum.
You sound like my mother! She succeeded! Now we, my parents children, have passed that on to grandchildren which include MIT grad rocket scientist, PhD in BIOphysics and hospital administrator, and two more graduate Engineers. Boys went on to the Air Force Academy, a fishing boat skipper in Alaska.

My friend and I (both women) were just talking about this topic last weekend. Her brother is a bit of an SJW and when she once told him men are stronger than women, he about had a stroke and couldn't believe she'd make such a claim. She and I both laughed at the fact that a good number of people believe that women and men have the same strength on average. It's ludicrous! How do people come to that conclusion!?
Because some people are raised poorly. I make a distinction between being ‘the same’ and ‘equal’ because the base strengths and weaknesses between men and women are distributed differently, but add up to the same total value.
My sister is the same. Whenever I ask one of my boys to carry something or open something for me she has a fit. Having reared a bunch of kids my own plus fostered little boys are physically stronger than girls from the start. They go through a male puberty in the womb that's why you have to be so careful with certain drugs etc in puberty. They also have one around 10-11 when they go a bit nuts. These are the things no one tell parents but they really should. People think they need to tell boys to just suck it up etc when it's their hormones etc that are adjusting.
the key would be to mention ON AVERAGE, personally my grandma would rip my arms off any day of the week, because im a nerdy programmer, and she was a Profesional tenis player
How many kids have you reared? And l always encourage my daughters to be as active as my sons. And most of the time they don't need encouraging

This reminds me of when I was a newcomer to karate in my mid teens. I was almost at my current height 6'5", and about 200 pounds. I wasn't very skilled, and on our sparring day an experienced and older (early 20s) female showed up to practice. She was very quick, with fast, dynamic and flexible kicks. She was very aggressive and talked openly about how she "enjoyed beating the men" who all seemed to go easy on her. Our sparring was meant to be light and controlled, so I was surprised by her intensity when she nearly broke my nose with a hard kick. As I was wiping away the blood, she didn't apologize, only smirked at her handi work. When we resumed sparring, she went for the same kick again, only this time I caught her clean with a cross that put her on her ass nearly unconscious. When she got her wits back she whined about my control. The way I seen it, I did her a favor by giving her a reality check. Thanks for the great video rooted in reason and backed by science. I'm sure there are plenty of lunatic sjws lined up foaming at the mouth to scream nonsense at you.
Damn, she could kick high tho.
That seems like a woman who was used to being looked down upon, but got enough power to level the playing field, but in doing so became the exact same thing she hated. And when, as you say, she got a reality check, it suddenly wasn't very fun.
Just like men underestimate her because she's a relatively small woman, she vastly underestimated your raw power. If she hadn't been dumb, she probably wouldn't have been hit there.
I hope she has mellowed out over the years, and become less arrogant.

@@torstenscott7571 Yeah, height is also very important for strenght and males are taller than women as well so that's another factor.
As a woman who studied martial intensely for decades, allow me to tell anyone who will listen: men are stronger than women. This is true from elementary school through to adulthood. When I was in kindergarten studying taekwondo, boys could already do more pull ups, more pushups, run faster and jump higher. This is not debatable or rare. Even men who are physically smaller or out of shape can be stronger and beat up or take hits from women who are in great shape by virtue of them just having naturally stronger musculoskeletal structure. I have witnessed and experienced this many times in my training. The only time mentioning this fact is bad is if it followed by denial of opportunity for women. If I had been told I couldn't study boxing or martial arts BECAUSE I am a woman and women are weaker that would be bad, but acknowledging this fact is important for women to properly train and be safe while doing so.
"Denial of opportunity" is a good thing in a lot of areas. If you aren't capable of doing a job, you should be denied the opportunity of doing it. If you've ever seen a female firefighter try to break down a door or a female police officer try to apprehend a suspect you'd know this instantly.
And it's hilarious that dying horrifically at war is presented as a privilege and being protected from it is presented as oppression.
I would argue there are some fields where it absolutely should be barring participation - and that is some fields of combat and firefighting, and policing. Firefighters here often work in teams of two. Now, what happens if the 200 lbs athletic male plus gear gets trapped and needs help, or the frail grandmother needs to be safely carried down the stairs? What about forcefully opening doors.
If a woman can prove she can keep up with the men, sure, why not. But lowering the standards to enable women to participate? Absolutely not. People trapped in a burning room don't care how good you are relatively to your sex-based limits, they care whether you get the damn door open or not.
As for policing ... I don't know, putting a woman on patrol feels like giving yourself as the police an automatic handicap. Women absolutely have their place in policework, but patrolling the streets, alone in a car? Dunno. Seen enough videos where male BYSTANDERS have to help the female cop subdue the bad guy. To be fair, I've seen a lot of out of shape male cops, too.
@@givmi_more_w9251 Good points, especially the fire fighter having to help a fellow fire fighter who weighs 200 lbs. Women police officers can be necessary in situations where the offender is a female, to avoid accusations of sexual misconduct.
Yeah sorry but before puberty boys and girls have the same strength while at least kids under 8. It could be another reason why.
The reason I disagree cause prepubescent boys don’t have like more muscle mass or denser bones. It could be cause boys are more likely to practice. Now the same is for adults? I say somewhat, but biological reason is still a factor for anyone pass puberty.
Women's deadlift record: 683 pounds
Men's deadlift record: 1,104 pounds
Not that complicated.
Grin. Both those numbers are real impressive!
And I would bet both records were set with the help of additional male hormones (or at least synthetic alternatives) being injected to increase muscle mass. 683 pounds is impressive though, more than any gym bro I've ever met, more than Jon Jones, more than most rugby players or American footballers.

Just watched a video where a guy went through a bunch of men vs women world records. tl:dr, the only times he could find women closest to men, and even beating men, are high endurance races. By high endurance, I mean something like 2+ days or 200+ miles.
He didn't bother even taking anything regarding picking something up, since most of the sports which involve it actually use different weights between men and women.
At this point, I'm more than convinced that telling the truth to the willfully ignorant is like telling a dead person to wake up. Woe to their souls.
I think it's important to not fall into labeling people like that. They have their reasons for believing what they do. Usually it's deeper than them being stupid. You cannot convince people if you don't try to understand where they are coming from.

This beast mistook a customer as an employee, wouldn't listen to the shopper that the person was not an employee, the beast complained to the manager, and the manager to placate the beast said that the other customer was "fired."

I don't even think that idealistic scenario may even be a good thing in the first place. Male and Female is meant to be more than just outward appearance that can be changed at will.
I have to disagree with your wish about men and women heading off to war. War is awful, and doubling the amount of the able bodies that get thrown into it can't end well, for them or civilization.
On a pragmatic level, and often overlooked, besides the wisdom of...at least in the old days before guns, etc, putting a "weaker" combatant into the fray with a sword/spear, etc and hope for the best. A culture that sent it's women to war en mass, would quickly find themselves facing extinction on a long enough timeline. Take a village of 50 men and 50 women for example. Excluding the too old/too young.. you send 35 men off to war against the rival tribe...... all but 5 are killed. Now that culture is left with 5 men and say 35 sexually viable women (numbers are totally arbitrary but just for this exercise). Let's do the reverse now.... they send the 35 women off to war and all but 5 come (presumably less if they attempted to take on an all male army). You see the problem? In some ways, the male is more 'disposable" than the female of our species. You tend to see this in other areas too such as IQ levels where there tends to be a greater abundance of men at the extremities than women.
I forget which women said it, but the best quote I've heard on the topic is "Men and Women ARE different. What needs to be made equal is the value we place on those differences."
@@viperstriker4728 then you've completely missed the point, of course i don't want anyone going to war ever

Unless you're a ruler, someone did the math and apparently women rulers are 1.2 times (36% vs 30%) more likely to initiate an offensive conflict (e.g. war) against another nation than a male ruler
That ofc can be a coincidence due to the smaller sample.
My bet is that with a bigger sample the result would be equal.
This is why I don't like to pander to patriarchy bs...the only archy that ever existed is power and money, rich and powerful women were in no way inferior to men.
I’ve discussed this with people many times, and I’m still amazed how many idiots are ignorant of basic facts about human physiology.
You explained it better than I could, metatron. Hopefully you’ve changed some minds.
If women were truly as strong as men on average, then society would not view male violence towards women the way it does. The US Army recently did a test and shock....the men outperformed the women in every task even down to accuracy when shooting. The same women who claim to be just as strong are also the ones who preach about female abuse the most...this in itself contradicts their whole argument. Now would a highly trained fighter like Ronda Rousey beat the shit out of the average man, yes. Would she win against a mildly trained fighter, probably not.
Thanks!
The gf of my hema instructor (who is also a hema instructor) said: she's so jealous at men she trains six days per week and her bf just needs two or three days and still makes faster progress than her. She's a realist. I don't know why people these days are so offended of science.
Not 100% sure that is due to sexual dimorphism, or individual variability. Fight IQ and confidence are hard to pick up if you don't naturally have them.
@@joejoelesh1197 the point of her sentence wasn't about hema, but physical fitness. Btw she teaches the women class to focus more on the core than men would usually do, to strike faster/harder. She's a very skilled fighter who can fight equally with men, except if it comes to wrestling, so she have to prevent that from happening. She joined the national team of Germany this year.
"...she trains six days per week..." I don't know here training plan but this can be a problem for everyone. training every day is ineficient, you shoud give your muscels time to recover. so split your training on diferent muscle groups ore just train every 2-3 days. have funn sand sucsess :)
@Jinxed Swashbuckler I am curious in regards to mental differences such as reaction times. While I may accept that man on average have the advantage, is it possible for the disadvantaged side to catch up?
To use RPG terms for simplicity, do men have higher level caps of potential than women or do both sides share the same level cap of potential (i.e. the fastest reacting women is just as quick as her male counterpart), just with men having a head start?

You would be surprised how far reaching this belief is.
It's what we call a "loud minority".
Some researchers even lost their jobs for DARING to state that women are biologically different than men and that you can't change your sex with current technology...
Sexual dimorphism can be shifted towards the females in size and strength in other taxa, such as eagles and hawks in which the females are usually larger, and spiders, in which females basically dwarf the males by comparison. These are not denied by these people, so why should we deny our own traits of sexual dimorphism? Also, please post your articles.
And then let's not forget the hilarity that is the hyena (where females are not only bigger and stronger but have shlongs that are larger than the males). Sexual dimorohism is true in almost all mammals, and somehow it's only on humans that it's become an issue for these people.
Yes, I think it's called reverse sexual dimorphism. I ran across it in birding literature.
i remember those large yellow/black spiders at fogo island in Cabo Verde. They were some 10cm with legs and had some 5 mm babies in their nets too, later I learned, they are males.

Actually, nevermind; I can just repost it for you here: Nice that you addressed this with *objective science* Raff; SJWs are just all about history *revisionism* , and science *denialism* ; you could show them *absolute proof* that the Earth's a *sphere* , a fact that people quite *literally* understood *over a thousand years* ago, and they'd *stubbornly insist* that it was actually *flat* ; that's why science denialists like SJWs are often called "Flat Earthers" after all.
There *is* however, one thing I'd like to address that you seem to've forgotten, and that's *gravity centers* ; men like myself tend to be stronger than women in the *upper* bodies because the upper body's *our* gravity center, and so we *have* to be stronger there to keep a proper balance; the fact that we men tend to have broader *shoulders* than women should be *proof* of that.
Conversely, women tend to have broader *hips* than us men, and that's because the *lower* body's a *woman's* gravity center; *that* means that, to keep a proper balance, out of biological *necessity* , women are actually *stronger* than us men in their *lower* bodies. That means that if you were to compare a male and female fighter of the same general strength level, while the man *would* in fact be able to throw the harder *punches* and other *arm* attacks, the *woman* would be able to throw the harder *kicks* and other *leg* attacks ( *yes* , there's a *biological* basis for women's unarmed fighting styles being more *kick-centric* than men's in media). To put it a more *metaphorical* way, where men are *axes* and *bludgeons* , women are *swords* . And that's actually what I believe to be the *reason* melee weapons act as an equalizer; because even though they're held in the *hands* , the *power* in a melee weapon swing or thrust *actually* comes from the *core* muscle, *two* groups of which, the upper *leg* muscles and the *hip* muscles, are in the *lower* body, where the *woman* is the stronger sex, while the *ab* muscles are the *only core* muscle group that's in the *upper* body, where the *man* is the stronger sex.
Lastly, there's a *different* article I'd like to show you that, from what I've read of it, is actually far more *objective* than the article you read because it *doesn't* bring political bullshit into it at *any* point; it actually *presents* the ways in which women are *different* from men, and explains that women aren't building as much muscle as men because they're working out *same way* as men, which the article *itself* says *doesn't* play to a woman's physiological strengths; here it is if you're interested: mennohenselmans.com/natural-muscular-potential-women/

Imagine championing the value of women by trying to make them like men
*Looks at Hollywood movies, Netflix series portraying women with masculine traits*
The issue with not doing this is that traditionally feminine characteristics have not been seen in a positive light. Or, more accurately, not seen as strengths. Our society has generally seen masculine traits as better. Things like assertiveness, dominance, logic, these have all been considered masculine traits while feminine traits like meekness, compassion, religiosity, emotionality are seen as lesser. Not necessarily bad but lesser. Think of the insult “stop being so emotional”.
Now, millennials and zoomers don’t really think in these older categories but a few hundred years of social assumptions don’t just disappear because women are now paid the same as men in jobs without wage negotiation.
This is why we continue to portray heroic women as having traditionally male characteristics (despite those characteristics being mostly socially determined).
@@adorabell4253 I have to challenge a few of your assumptions here as that might have been your experience but I don't think it exists in all of society.
Dominance is certainly not seen in a positive light, it is almost always a trait that villains are given. Or just look at how the Roman or British Empire are largely seen as bad, is dominating other cultures just imperialism?
Not quite sure what you mean by religiosity but I will point out that men have more often then not been the religious leader. As someone who has a female pastor I still see the men leading the prayer more often then not.
I wouldn't link logic to masculinity. I see where you get that perception but masculinity is linked to aggressiveness more directly and that is a direct counter to logic, not unlike how emotionality counters logic in women.
I completely agree about the meekness vs assertiveness. But I will point out that no society would value meekness over assertiveness, or at least they are not likely to survive against the other societies since assertiveness is almost always a benefit.
Have you ever seen the trope when the hero spares the villain with the story saying that took more strength then vengeance? That seen at least makes the case that compassion is not seen as a lesser trait but one of the most heroic traits. And in the 5 man band trait the compassionate character is always female.
I see your point but I think the perception that you have might be more the result of entertainment giving women masculine traits rather then the cause of it. Most of the things I mentioned are far more prevent in older media, such as star trek.
@@adorabell4253 There's a grain of truth to that, but not sure I follow where you're coming from. As the above comment points out, it's pervasive in mostly modern films and shows. The trope of the buff, unflappable heroine was pretty much invented by millenials and zoomers. The further back you go, the more feminine the female characters seem to be. Just compare, say, Captain Marvel to Phoenix or Rogue from the 2000 X-men. Compare new Charlies Angels to old Charlies Angels. So I don't think it follows that this is the result of some traditional mindset if it's a recent phenomenon.
But I agree that it may have to do with the millenial/zoomer mindset, vis-a-vis, they are unwilling or afraid to portay any woman as weak or vulnerable soas not to seem like they aren't champions of the cause of strong and brave warrior women. It's the soft bigotry of low expectations.
It's also a bit of an oversimplification that feminine characteristics weren't traditionally portrayed positively. In action movies, maybe, where those traits aren't generally ideal for the situation. But for every Predator there was also a Pretty in Pink, wherein women were portrayed as smart, compassionate, meek, emotional and it's not seen as lesser to men. Yes, those traits can be flaws - characters are supposed to have flaws - but we still root for those women as women. Their struggle isn't to become more masculine, they usually become more feminine by the end of the film. And right, it's not a bad thing. Never really has been.
So if anything, it's millenials and zoomers who are uncomfortable with feminine qualities. Many of them have been conditioned to conflate supporting women with giving them unconditional adoration and approval. It's not really a healthy or realistic worldview, which is why it so often collides with basic facts like "men are stronger than women".
Today's western cosmopolitan societies don't place any value on the traditional feminine anymore. It's an unescapable aspect of basing your society around the fictitious idea of equality instead of simply leaving that tenet in the system of law.
Sexes are not equal, lifestyles are not equal, no two people are equal, no two ethnicities are equal, no two races are equal. This is obvious to everyone unless it was ingrained in them otherwise.
I'm new to this and I'm very impressed with how well you make your arguments. You should give a TEDX talk or a master class on how it's done. To the subject at hand, the U.S. Army also knows the difference between men and women, just look at the physical training requirements.

I feel like regardless of your political leanings, you should definitely be able to accept objective science that’s been known for millenniums.
If that was the case then most religious beliefs would have been heavily debunked many years ago.
But it's like Adam Savage says: "I reject your reality, and substitute it with my own."
Not anymore it seems. All truths are to be sacrificed for progressiveness. No matter if that progression leads over a cliff.
The problem is, for communists, it goes against their ideal world of absolute equality.
There can be NO differences between people in their communist utopia. We can't wear different clothes, drive different cars, speak different languages et cetera as these would invite division in society.
Ergo, men and women can't be different; if men and women are inherently different, then communism is inherently impossible (something they will never accept).
It's religious indoctrination on the lefty side unfortunately

I have to say I am impressed on a personal level by Metatron. I had him pegged as just another youtuber, even if more educated than most, but after watching this he comes across as a genuine person whose mind is not clouded by the muck that is so called "modern" culture. Truth is timeless and can never be adjusted to suit tastes, it just is.
A person with a platform having the balls to flaunt that is rare, especially amongst academically minded people, and he seems like a person I could imagine having a fun and productive discussion with, making him a rare gem in the deceptive dark place that is the online world.

"In most cases it's used for some kind of sexist argumentation."
That doesn't just assume facts not in evidence, it assumes knowledge you couldn't possibly have. At most, you can say 'in most cases I am aware of,' and even then, I doubt that your charcaterization of other peoples' arguments as 'sexist' holds true, at least if we're talking about the word 'sexist' in the way I think you're using it. The fact is, reality is 'sexist.' There are a whole host of physiological and psychological differences between men and women that make them more or less suited to doing particular things, that is an inarguable fact, and people like you deny that it is, preemptively, because of your morals.

@@Ontarianmm No worries, mate.
I was merely agreeing with the vid, that acknowledging that men and women are different is not an insult to either gender.
This is what I thought as well. If you look at medieval combat. A lot of it is hand to hand fighting with melee weapons, which encourages strength and size. Yes there’s technique, discipline, and unit cohesion. But we can’t deny that strength and size play a significant role in combat.
See Henry 8th and his lords, the ones mentioned in histories, they all were well over six foot tall, they came from generations of aristocratic families that ate very well, the males would be on a very high ratio meat diet, that translates intos large males post puberty. ideally fitted to be warriors and lords.
The peasantry were lucky to be 5'5" due to their haphazard diet bordering on malnutrition..
In academia Archeology, anthropology, and history are now being implored to rectify history and fact for the sake of fitting in with contemporary values. Regardless of how “benevolent” the people asking for change might view themselves, prioritizing agenda over fact is disgusting and should never be condoned.
This terrifies me and keeps me up at night, we’re destroying progress and wiping away the history of the progress we made to get where we are now… this is the stuff of stagnation and extinction.
God damn the US has gone mad.
Prioritising agenda over facts is what the Nazi did. Rightful people don't seek to bend the truth.
It's baffling that there even needs to be any sort of discussion. It's completely inarguable that, all other things being equal, men will always be stronger than women. Those who freak out over this simple fact are directly insinuating that strength is directly tied to worth, or value. It's 100% a them problem.
It is honestly really unfortunate that in the pursuit of equality, the culture (especially entertainment) has decided that women must assume the man’s role, like pursuing careers, obtaining wealth and leadership, and being physically strong and able to defeat others in combat. It seems ironic that the only traits valuable in a woman according to modern feminism are masculine ones. It’s a mindset divorced from the foundation of the culture which is family, and I cannot help but believe feminism has impacted it negatively. When family is paramount, nothing can be more important than raising a child, which is why femininity is so powerful, and why it’s so sad to see a general loss of femininity.
My 2¢
"It's completely inarguable that, all other things being equal, men will always be stronger than women. "
That's the opposite of what Metatron actually said.
No, ON AVERAGE, men will be stronger than women. That does not mean they will ALWAYS be stronger than women.
@@killianmiller6107 "It’s a mindset divorced from the foundation of the culture which is family"
Is that so? Care to cite your evidence?
@@ohauss "All other things being equal". They will not always be stronger, because all other things are not equal.
Which, that family is the foundation of culture, or that feminist ideology is divorced from family? To the second point, while implicit, I meant in the comment that feminism teaches that _career_ is paramount in culture rather than family; that in order to be happy, women need the things men have which women have been supposedly held back from having. I don’t really need evidence to tell you that feminists (especially in entertainment) spend much more time helping women pursue careers than helping them be proficient in the home, that much is obvious. And it’s not hard to find feminist philosophers who view marriage as an institution to perpetuate the patriarchy. Kate Millett, Germaine Greer, and Shulamith Firestone, feminist bestsellers from the 70’s, endorsed sexual liberation and smashing the nuclear family (I got this from a Google search, so like I said, not hard to find). Moreover, I think there is correlation between the rise in feminism and the decline of marriage, with 40% of children born to single mothers nationally, which was around 5% in the 60’s, when 2nd wave feminism came about (not to discount other factors). Do we need to get into why traditional two parent families are the best?
My father once said "if you're want to find 'fair' look in the dictionary. It's somewhere between fable and fantasy."
That's a good one. I need to remember that one.
"In accordance with rules or standards; legitimate." So... that would be logically an anti-social stance, denying the legitimacy of rules?
The sad thing is, that we need youtubers to tell us well established scientific facts as media, scientific institutions and even medical journals fail either because they've become politically subverted, or just because of (justified) fear of cancel culture.

_Amazons_ *WILL* always whine !!!

@@romainvicta3076 with sound tactics, terrain, strategy, equipment etc an army of women could theoretically beat an army of men it would just be an uncommon outcome. Battles are extremely unpredictable which is why almost all war games/strategy games involve dice rolls, so there’s always a possibility everything goes wrong for one side in a battle. That being said the logistics behind a woman army doesn’t make sense, and a culture would have surely had trouble growing if it was women going off into conflicts exclusively, or even 50/50. Especially in times of increased conflict like ancient world that almost guarantees long term population decline to the point where it’s irreversible.
@@JeffPenaify The strategy, tactics and the decisions depend upon the army a general has. A simple reason why a better general would lose to lesser one is because of the army's men and its equipment. Take the example of Hannibal and Scipio. Scipio's heavier armored and more experienced men outperformed the first two layers of Hannibal's army.
You cannot arm a women in a same way that as a man. The equipment cannot be as heavy. Then there are female biological downsides such as menstrual periods. Having a large part of your fighting force down because they are having a biological process will be disastrous.
Videos like this make me respect Metatron even more. Never, EVER apologize for the truth.
I'm always amazed to come to the realization that there are people who actually live in denial of reality and instead prefer the reality fed to them by the social media bubble they live in. It's modern brain rot.
Their taking Adam Savages quote a little to seriously and litterally.
Someone in the comments said something similar to what I'm about to say, but I'll say it anyways. People think that physical strength makes you more superior because that seems to be the only strength that is focused on. No one recognizes mental strength for example. Men can do things that women can't, and vice versa. It doesn't make one better than the other, it just makes us different. As a woman, I don't feel inferior because I have to ask for help if I can't lift something heavy, or if I need to ask my big, burly guy friend to walk me back to my car.
Also I will say that I was helping a friend move, and this guy who was there was much skinnier than I am and he was able to lift way heavier things than me.
"You're a misogynist, women are only empowered when they are exactly like men."
If people don't see the irony in that, and can't see that women have their respective female qualities instead from trying to masculinize women, as if only masculine qualities were good, then I have bad news for you.
That is the absurd irony that keeps escaping these SJW types: for all their claims of serving women, they sure hate femininity.
That's exactly what feminism is - Women acting like men.
