- Last year he talked at TED Global about empathy. His research has shown that a few
hugs a day make us friendlier. As a neurologist, he will enlighten us about the differences between men and women. - บันเทิง
What I’ve observed through reading online comments is that it’s a waste of time reading comments.
Charles Boyd thanks
Then you should read more of the Bible like me. The Bible says "thou whost comments on thy TH-cam shall receive everlasting thumbs up into ye comments"
And yet here I am. Reading your comment. And here you are, reading mine 🤷🏻♂️
Interesting. So basically what I took from this is that men and women work together the best as a team meaning we both have our strengths and we should rely on each other for those things instead of competing and fighting over things.
That's the point he was *trying* to get across, except he was basically going out of his way to make women sound superior to men during every sentence of it.
@@spartansquid5931 I wouldn’t say woman are superior. But, in a marriage, with children, a house to run, children in different activities, doctors appointments, etc.. The wife is doing most of the work. I did all that and made sure the bills were paid on time. We both worked outside the home. When he came home, he was done, except for the weekend yard work. I didn’t sit down until long after the kids went to bed. Not all men are like that. But, after being a widow for many years, I’ve learned that a woman can function fine without a man. I raised my children alone. If the wife dies, the widower will be looking for a spouse soon after his wife dies because he can’t take care of himself. My boyfriend, a widower, will admit to that.
@@spartansquid5931 neither gender is superior, just different.
@@elaniwilliams9594 I know this, did you misread my comment or something?
Because God created us as one
The men in the comments taking this ted talk personally are literally proving the research in the ted talk.
Literally, they didn’t listen to the part where men are more likely to take things personally.
Exactly
@ all the people who either don’t believe him or don’t want to, I ask you to do 10 years of research yourself before telling anyone they’re wrong
What a nice talk. Jokes everywhere, everything was precise. Good work. I will try to get the book you recommended at the end.
Now that you said it, it's absolutely true! Kkkkk I didn't realize at first, but it wasn't boring at all and very informative
He had a really nice plug. Unlike many other people that just talk purely about their project or book or things
All he did was "you can read more here"
Half comments here prooves he is right. This man made a biology study and talks about the results and they are taking it personaly and comes on the front line to defend male gender.
+Minkki82 your well jell mate
Grigoris Karelis exactly! Many men reacting exactly as the studies of this guy predict. Soooo funny!
It's not funny. It's sad, actually. Very sad. Just shows how BIG of a damage feminism has caused.
I DON'T WANT IT TO BE REAL, I want to believe men are kind too, I'm super empathic so it might mean I will never be understood by men if this is real. And that not what I want for my love life
@Alice J I never denied it :)
whats wrong with these negative comments? this guy made complete sense?
Ikr... He just stated the obvious.. And feminazis just went absolutely nuts... As they always do...
So men are agressive and women are kind?
He's not what he said, it's his ego, his certainty, and how he says things that are annoying.
@@thisisntallowed9560 In average yes
I"m not sold
I think that it’s a very interesting video, he talked about important things that maybe we didn’t know.
Woow I love the comments!
They just prove it so well that he is so right
That's called a logical fallacy.
Those XX chromos again 🤷
One could wonder why nature hasn´t done a better job on making it easier for the two genders to connect. To have created them more spiritually and mentally equal so to say.
Opposites attract. The benefit of having a partner is so that they are different than you and provide strengths for your weaknesses. If they were the same there would be no point in pairing up.
Appreciate video content! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you tried - Lammywalness His Happiness Guide (google it)? It is an awesome one off product for understanding what men really want minus the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate at last got cool results with it.
I am sorry, but this is so wrong. Natural selection (this is how nature does things) results in survival of the fittest. A simple observation is that we have now around 8 billion people on Earth and they were all born by men and women getting together and "connecting". From the point of view of natural selection, this is the only way of "connecting" nature cares about. Therefore, nature did perfect in connecting genders in a way it cares about. Now, you come up with your own, different from nature's, definition of "connect" and wonder why nature did not connect genders your way??? Is not it arrogant, so to speak? :)
@@velizhan I agree with this point of view and in fact it is what happens. Nature cares about something we probably don't care about, and we care about sth nature doesn't care about. Eventually nature solved sth looking after it, therefore if there are other things to be solved, there we are with all the cappacity we were given to solve whetever as good as nature does.
Who is this « nature » y’all be talking about ??
Oh my god I love this guy.
A lot of truths in this presentation. As we men get older and the T factor diminishes, I think many of us start becoming more compatible with women.
That’s a very interesting insight I had thought about. But it’s totally true. I’m a men’s marriage coach by the way.
Wait, so us bald men are more manly? OK, I don't feel so bad about losing my hair. LOL
I'm a fan :) especially when combined with facial hair. On men that is. :D
Yeah, but it's only manly to women if you're also tall, and muscular.
@@spartansquid5931 you forgot money lol
Cheers for the Video! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you thought about - Lammywalness His Happiness Guide (search on google)? It is a great exclusive product for understanding what men really want minus the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my BF got great results with it.
I want to be less manly and get my hair back lol
This was extremely informative
Very interesting! Thank you.
I never understood at least in my situation. I was expected to be a " 50 /50 "partner finacially, yet 100% of household chores, groceries, child care, meal planning and cooking 3 square meals a day, and or packing delicious, nutritious meals, expected to leave work to do the childcare in case of emergencyor sickness or behavior issues, do all the doctors appointments and dentist appointments, teacher conferences and take time off work to do it, plus be a mother and teach right from wrong. After school activities, juggling time and schedules. My husband mowed the lawn not even once a week in summer. And shoveled when needed in winter, fixed household items. Each task taking less than an hour. How is this 50/50? I worked the same hours as him. Cleaning, cooking and childcare are life skills, not gender roles. Some men arent up to date I suppose. Thats been my experience so far.
That is my mother in a nutshell. My mother did basically everything while my dad either watched football or went out to have a chat with his guy friends lol. No way was it even 50/50.
You have a not masculine husband.
chose the wrong fella
Wrong man darling. This proves that when a women does more work than á man she doesn't respect him as much
You chose a strange place to vent about being unhappy in your marriage. Try a couple's therapist.
this is the most informative presentaion ive ever heared.
The reaction to this video is as interesting as the video itself... Wow, men sure feel threatened easily and have a extreme emotional reaction that lashes out to attempt to destroy their learned idea of dominance... Oh wait, isn't that what this talk explained? lolol Guys, men and women make this world together, and look at how fucked up this world is, from men forcing their lead and reacting all emotionally and aggressively to any perceived offense to their ego,,, You all just totally validated this talk
So, you are thanking me to be witty? Cause I am not neing sarcastic, my comment is simply beyond your comprehesion
Humans typically don't like when racists and sexists craft pseudoscientific narratives to explain why X race or Y sex is an inferior, immoral corruption of the Perfect Master Race or sex.
I let you bathe in your misandry.
+Polarbi Anarchy I think the information given could be interpreted more to say that men/women didn't so much create the world as did biology and how societies genetic makeup was influenced by evolution.
I think the talk was valid before the response of dislikes from someone group (one could assume men, but making assumptions would be rash no matter how likely one believes they are). However if we view the talks information without the conclusions drawn one could argue that they stereotype typical women's behavior just as much. The picture of women having to be the one who holds everything together, who has to stay quiet and well behaved. The women who is more or less made to be a mother (oxytocin is key in bonding with one's offspring), and who aren't ever going to be the smartest in the world, because only men can be the greatest geniuses.
The truth is it's neither of those things, it's just one professionals observations as to where our current level of understanding is as to how the genetic differences in men and women affect their behavior. Obviously he does take the extra effort to interpret the information for us, which because of the focus on oxytocin happens to paint women more favorable by our modern sensibilities.
What I think is important to keep in mind is that the scope is limited, which is a good thing. If he expanded the scope to all the genetic differences in men and women he would have written a two thousand page book that far fewer people would have learned from; even in that scenario he still wouldn't have been able to do justice to the subject, and today's knowledge on the subject isn't even advanced enough to back up that claim.
The only issue here is that the title makes people think when clicking on it that they are going to get a complete answer as to how men and women are different. For future notice when one is about to click on a video, if the claim in the title is massive and the length of video is 13 minutes, assume it's an exaggeration.
+Polarbi Anarchy No sweetie, these men (and women, ahem) are just objecting to him spouting falsehoods, disinformation, one-sided perspectives, and generally being a misandrist.
I see this type of rhetoric a lot when men react to something. "Male fragility." Women don't get this kind of criticism when they react to something that belittles or mischaracterizes them. Men are supposed to just shut up and listen. Women are allowed to get angry, and encouraged to express themselves.
This was like watching a Hitler speech.

@@TTWHOPPER it's not they just hate different opinions lol he didn't say commit genocide these people are just dumbasses
It's a very informative video they answer some questions I had about this topic
I wanted to say, I personally think his research is a bit incomplete, at least according to how much he shared with us. He talked about some major differences, but I wonder if those differences in male and female brains, and mental development, has anything to do with social roles and how we raise our boys to be a certain way, vs. our girls to be a certain way. For instance he talked about IQ and he talked about attraction. I personally know smart guys and very nice ones, but it's a combination of intelligence, his character, and his physical looks that make him attractive. I know on the other hand, men might be more attracted to a physically attractive female in their lense.. however I don't think men are too different when it comes to having the combination of beauty, intelligence, and character that would make women attractive. But the way attractiveness in a society is viewed as for a man or a woman, differ according to social constructs and how various societies come to view it. For instance, we know North American Society is a hyper sexualized and Pornified One, could that influence the way men and women see attraction? I find it's important to look at societies, cultures, and religions and see how much they all play a role. Interestingly, in my religion ( Islam), women cover themselves, but interact with the world just like men, aka no difference in their lives. So when a man wants to chose a Muslim woman as his partner, he can see some basic physical attraction in her, but the rest has to come from her character and her intelligence.. I find that very interesting going back to what he said about attraction. These men who's only choice of a partner is a Muslim women, are forced to look at more than just physical attraction. That's just a point I wanted to make as cultures and religions influence us.
Also, in terms of the graph he showed, depicting men and women's IQ difference, feel like global sexism and patriarchy that has limited women's expression of her intellect, which is still prominent culturally in North America, could potentially explain the difference in male and female IQ. I kinda wish he could have looked at the influence around us which do grow and shape our brain. And we know, no matter where u go, almost everywhere on earth (as far as my knowledge) men and women are viewed differently, and therefore, have social expectations that differ and even upbringings that may also differ.. I can't help but imagine how this changes the way our brain grow, develop, and ultimately alter our behaviors as both men, and women.
You talked to much
@@MetalArms16212 Weird because I couldn't hear them.
Brilliantly said. Absolutely amazing. These binaries used to define men and women are over simplistic and never take into account culture and history - as if we just got here..
This was a great video! Very informative and biologically based. I do not understand all of those hateful comments. They simply are too sensitive and get triggered by everything or they are just doing a lot of projecting. Or perhaps they do not understand the scientific concepts that he presents. So much immaturity. If this video is so "offensive" then why did you watch it?
Thank you for sharing :)
I like it, I like it a lot, maybe the tone he's using ...
Wow... lets make a giant hug box were reality does not exist.
Oh wait, there are Tedx talks..... never mind.
tough crowd
aren’t they always?
this was like grade 12 biology...why is everyone so upset over this
+aisha Man, you had a cool biology class. All I learned about was how cells pooped...
+aisha I dunno, maybe claiming a chemical provides objective morality must seem dumb to people. Obviously they only oppose our final solution out of my soggy knees
He was probably researching why men seem more likely to screw each other over so much in the business world, but he forgot that women screw each other over when competing for men just as much.
aisha Its favoring women!
Pretty much that!
There, now you damn know!

No, ALL men get taken to the cleaners after a divorce.
@@roybarrows9733 If it's majority then why do a headcount
WTF the comments the guy is just narrating observations from his research, calm down.
yeah his "research"
Why is this video's sound so quiet? I have all speakers at 100%.
He's talking to these women like they are little children because if he he talked to them like adults they would boo him off the stage.
knows if the just told them the straight facts, they would probably riot in feminist fury.
I don't get how females are "less aggressive". Which one would you run from? The she-bear protecting her cubs or the male? I know the answer is both but presenting females as lacking in aggressiveness doesn't make sense in an evolutionary or survival of the fittest sense. This guy is cute but seems to have some sort of "kissing up" agenda.
First off he was talking about humans. Second off it's common knowledge/sense that females are less aggressive than guys. As a matter of fact ... He was proved that by supporting it with scientific facts. But as I said ... You don't have to be as smart as this pandering Mitch (male-bitch) to know that males are definitely without a doubt more aggressive than females.
Oh if you mess with her kids its on
Janet Bird Its not that women have no aggression. Naturally if someone attacks your kids, you'll be fiercely protective and fight. But more men tend to have indiscriminate anger... anger not always for a reason. This is why more men make up prisons or get into aggressive sports like fighting. Its unfortunate but true. Some women with higher levels of testosterone can show aggression too
Why does the woman have to have children. Men can be protective of their children too
Women aren't nicer than men. They just express the nastiness in different ways.
Christ this guy was pandering hard.
Would be nice in talks like this to post some of his papers and stuff. Not just a talk, back it up with relative results.
When he said that women don't take things personally I had to laugh so hard. Women take everything personally, especially at work. Tell a guy off and he will be fine a few minutes after, Tell a woman off and they will resent you for the rest of the month.
Ever worked in an office full off women? It is a nightmare. Even most women I know hate working with other women.
I think what he meant was that women don't have a sensitive ego
Well maybe he shoulda been more clear than, and not dumbed things down, ridiculously editorializing with sexist sitcom stareotypes in such a lame attempt to pander to the ladies in the crowd.
This guy is such an old school, gender-essentialist.
No concept of subtlety. At least Feminists and anti feminists alike should be unified in being offended by his standup routine lol
P.S. I don’t even think it’s scientifically responsible to claim that women have small secure egos and men have big fragile egos...
people are as simplistically divided like that. The differences between our psychological qualities are vastly more complex and nuanced and diverse and flexible than anything this man suggests.
I`m not a scientist, just saying from my life experience and experience of other women I know
This is so true! I'm a girl myself btw
It's in the Dominican Republic
This guy's presentation is "special"
Unfortunately, although Paul Zak is interested in appreciating difference - I would argue that by framing his hypotheses and models in gender terms he is actually consciously or subconsciously seeking to re-inforce his own preconceptions of gender in how he accumulates and reviews data - I would advise people to be analytical and cynical of the rigour of studies carried out, aware of bias before the studies began - and above all else remember that men and women are individual humans (people) first and foremost, and have no obligations to experience life and emotion according to my or your preconception of age, gender, sexuality, race or any other marker.
Spot the feminazi that cannot accept facts.
I agree because if what he says is all true and men can't be kind I would stay alone forever because I don't want to live only in acceptance and not really love
He did not frame things in gender terms; rather, genetic--X & Y chromosomes and neuro-biological--oxytocin which no one had bothered to measure before. From the beginning he framed his interest as studying bad behavior and only then found gender differences were relevant. This comment is a better example of reading a gender(less) agenda into the topic than the speaker
Word! That's actually very true. I personally also felt as though some of his explanations, and choice of words, fell back on our social constructed understanding of gender and gender roles. I also couldn't agree with you more when you say above all, we need to remeber we are all individual human beings. Thanks for sharing!
And I suppose you would refute the fact that men have a heavier balance of gray matter to white matter, and the fact that women have a heavier balance of white matter to gray matter, in terms of brain tissue? You are, no doubt, one of these utter fools who believes a person is born with a body of one gender and a brain of the other gender, or that there is an infinite number of genders...all of that such NONSENSE.
You love the smart guys. *dumb found looks from all the women in the crowd* *internal monologue* "wait oh yeah we tell all the clueless guys that to screw them over and mislead them so we can manipulate them" *girl laughs in background* wow this guy doesn't know.
I like him
Ooooooo
Not that many bad girls? This guy needs to get out more.
how many female presidents there are?? Now see how bad is the world system
Don't be a wuss. women are wonderful but if you hang out with enough of them for long enough the playing field of douche bag guys to horrible bitches is even. And don't make them out to be victims. That's the worst thing you can do to empower women, or anybody for that matter.
Nina Tabbal There's few female presidents because few women have run for president. The uneven gender distributions in certain fields aren't bad things in themselves; they're produced by people making their own choices. It's when biases show up that are caused by people's choices being restricted artificially that we should speak out.
Nina Tabbal
Also, look at the bad grammar that your brain produced.

'Women are the primary choosers when it comes to sexual reproduction' smartest thing he managed to say......
so, girls who become manly is celebrated and boy who become feminine (Klinefelter Syndrome) is problematic? Interesting, possibly a topic for another discussion.
I bet if we tested the soils in those two villages, we will find a deficiency OR a toxicity of some mineral. Iodine perhaps for girls or zinc perhaps for boys, these are important in livestock. Klinefelders have identical symptoms as zinc deficiency. Iodine deficiency can cause girl livestock to be underdeveloped.
I think this guy just went full mcintosh!
It good talk 😁
" Women dont take things personally" Hahahahaha
one more thing in the video description they claim he is a "neorologist" but he has a PHD in economics and I could not find anywhere if he has any credentials in neurology. Plus he sounded like Sociology guy at best and Women and gender studies guy at worst.
NellyPenguins Shut up.
...... LMAO! Even the women in the crowd felt uncomfortable, cringing their way through his man hating speech

@shaka mata _ African pride What exactly doesn’t do anything? And who said anything about feelings?
@shaka mata _ African pride Oh, I thought you were talking about your feelings getting ruffled. My bad. I believe it was you who mentioned appreciation. I didn’t say you specifically had to appreciate women, but I was hoping for some acknowledgment of the fact that the female gender has a very important role in the creation of life - arguably the most important role, and that they (our moms!) are the reason that we are living and breathing right now. By all means our dads are also a very important part of why we are alive today, I’m not denying that.
But yes, I am trying. Thank you for acknowledging my effort.
the truth hurts doesn't it
He reminds me a bit of Richard Gear

Men become more emotional and take things more personally than women ? My life experience says otherwise
Too many people dont realise we are a different breed …. Woman are carers and it’s natural to care for people whereas men are mainly interested in things such as working and doing things and competing with men for status or even power !
Jeff Goldblum?
Oh my gosh 😱 who is he 😮
Men love seeing how things work women don't care
The research on oxytocin is both fascinating and useful. However, the release of a hormone does not necessitate the physiological expression of 'morality' or 'general sensitivity.' This is what happens when we trust scientists to answer our psychological, sociological, and philosophical questions.
Ummm. That’s exactly what it does. Take a physiology class.
It's funny how all the coomments I've seen so far are from butthurt men, seriously you're giving the guy a point by being so mean and agressive
It's funny how feminists are willing to believe any pseudoscientific nonsense as long as it enables them to villify men some more.

@@aimeeoswald7647 😂😂😂
Of course they did. Hint hint..... obvious sarcasm
As a Woman I personally don't think that Women are 'nicer.' Anyone that has been raised by a Narcissistic Mum will vouch for that or who has had to put up with bitter, twisted envious friends and sisters. Both genders have their strengths and their weaknesses and human beings are too diverse to simply say that one gender is 'nicer' than the other. Just my opinion.
Women don't take things personally? Seriously?..
TwoBitSodapop seriously 😬
None of this talk takes into account socializing
Nurture is just as potent as nature, if not moreso
Tay Kyles of course not. You’re absolutely right. But how could he take everything into account in 13 minutes?
So, oxytocin is release once you are driven to do something positive. Where does this drive comes from?
Maybe further research on oxytocin could lead to help to rehabilitate some criminals and some psychiatric disorders?
Women take things more personally and that’s they care about little stuff while men care about general stuff
I see this a an interesting study of biology, my one complaint is that he did not factor in culture and its influence on the development of our chemical biology.
He also failed to factor-in half of the effects of hormones that were inconvinient to his ''men are bad'' picture.
For example, testosterone increase makes men more fair when they bargain. I think we can all agree that fairness is a valuable quality.
You should understand women behavior when women are angry they say the opposite it’s fine what ever inside the are about to cry
I wonder how this is received today. it was clearly a hot topic 3 years ago (comments) anyone who can lead me to a good read/watch on recent studies?
Most feminists (at least in France) would find it horrible because it's talking about biological differences between women and men (most of them thinks there are no differences and everything is cultural), some MRA (could say incel but not sure) would be triggered too because it's what they call "woman are wonderful era" which is supposedly degradant for men, but the vast majority would agree, i think.
@@remigaillard4802 this is why I hate feminists

Yes, sounds like a a whole another era - or planet.
@foog guckle. How do you know to what comments I was referring? Pointing out your belief that someone is a quack is not misogynistic - some of language being used to insult both him and women suggests an attitude. Example from one poster
'.. didn't explain why some women are bitches and destroy each other at times. they don't turn into men.the term "backstabbing cunt"doesn't exist in a vacuum." '
No matter what you believe about him the language used by this poster suggests a dislike of women. I swear all the time, but I generally do not use it to abuse anyone else (I use the word generally because I think I did call my ex-husband a few choice names on a few occasions, of which I am not proud and am sorry). I have always thought that when people use abusive language to insult someone they reveal more about themselves than the person they are insulting.
I never quite understood this discussion. We are the fruit of our biology whether we like it or not, and also of our skills as a species. I say this because men and women have proven to have neurophysiologically different brains, in that they do not differ from other species, and these differences refer to different abilities as well as in other living species. Living beings of different sexes, although of the same species, play different roles in the struggle for survival and perpetuation. In the fight for survival, strength and physical resistance are determining factors, and the human species does not escape this rule. It is natural, then, that this ability has to say "dictating the rules" and the more present, the difference between the members will be more accentuated. Nevertheless, men and women fighting for the same goal have divided tasks adapted to their biological structures over time. The human species rationalizes their instincts and needs, and from there turns skills into advantages, that is, I am "better" and not just "different with other developed skills". The human being needs to judge and place the other in the "frame of importance of the species" to the point of making men more important than women, among many other judgments dictated by force. Man has never really understood the difference although he says he protects diversity. Sorry but this is the discussion.
Cadê a legenda português?
This guy reduces the human experience to a few chemicals and overgeneralizes his conclusions.
I didn‘t find ONE man in the audience. I‘d call his contributions - let‘s say - very very ‚customer friendly‘.
If you don't take it personally and don't lose sleep over a deal you missed or a failure, I dare you to become a successful business person. Look at successful women in high positions in business, almost all act like men, ambitious like men, take failure personally like men, confrontational like men, they stand chin up, stare right into the eye like men. And probably for this very reason, many seem to be unsuccessful in their personal relationships or have very "formal" dialog with their significant other. I wouldn't disagree with the quality of being a woman isn't really in sync with how the world turns today but saying people who don't take things personal become better in business is utter nonsense.
I knew there was something fishy when he started talking about impotent testosterone.
Here's the real punchline: A) douchey shirt B) Bad joke complaining about living with women and how he doesn't want to know them C) Photo of himself behind himself while giving his own speech D) belittling women's emotions during ovulation E) too much self boosting regarding sky diving
Yeah, I don't get how testosterone makes you want to do skydiving or how skydiving is 'bad'
@@aimeeoswald7647
What don't you understand? It was quite clear.
Wow, he had NOTHING good to say about men.
He did. He basically said that the man's function is to be the protector; also the reason the testosterone is an inhibitor of oxytocin, since it is a bad strategy to cuddle with a potential enemy.
Ko252 men and women are trained to behave like a protector or more submissive. I do not think it is about our bodies, it is about how we are raised and sexism. men are taught to be aggressive.
I would encourage you to study up on biological differences that impact human cognition. It's not all socialization.
@@patphatkitten
Sure.
Continuing to deny evolution and basic biology will get you far.
@@lockandloadlikehell we are all people and there is more to us than just our bodies. I am not ignoring physical bodies, but there are other cultures (peaceful African cultures destroyed by Christianity) that show that men are encouraged to behave a certain way or they will not be accepted by society as real men and women are encouraged to behave a certain way or they will not be accepted as real women. It is all an act , really. You have a mind and you have emotions, you can't say everything is caused by genes and hormones and testosterone. Not that simple.

@ 7:00 Women are nicer than men because they release more oxytocin? So oxytocin is the basis for morality? Move over Susan Neimann, philosophy has been wasting our time for three thousand years.
Correlation is not causality! Women are defined as "nicer" (No explanation why.) and since they the release more oxytocin while doing nice things, therefore oxytocin is a "moral substance" and that explains why women are more moral? It is a closed loop. Moreover, the real moral challenges are not so simple or "feel good" the examples of his testing.
@ 9:40 Evolution dictates that because there are males with elevated intelligence, that the other men are condemned to lower intelligence? Is this because the "God of Evolution" knows and adheres to the Law of Averages? Is there logic hidden in there? Causality? It makes no sense, and there is no discussion on the way "intelligence is measured" which likely would offer more insight.
He has set up normal to be XX. Not one example gives XY the edge, because his baseline is that XX is the purest form of humanity. He probably learned this from his mom. In the end, you always find what you are looking for.
This guy is not objective, he is a pandering schmuck. The diffferences between men and women are way overblown, and his ridiculous graph of the intelligence between the genders is a prime example.
+John Thomson Oxytocin is en emotional enhancer. It is also associated with elevated jealousy, hatred, repulsion, gloating, etc.
I totally agree with your conclusion that he's a quack.
Note well taken, a man who doesn't accept women as "superior" to men does not accept "equality." But don't get me wrong, just because your comment is manipulative and narcissistic, does not mean I am saying all women are manipulative and narcissistic. It would be as stupid as the Feminist idea that because some men are violent and ignorant therefore all men are ignorant and violent. This is the dominant Feminist straw-man that you are promoting to advance the absurd notion that until women are accepted and promoted by men as "superior" then women have not achieved "equality."
I enjoyed all your other comments here, as they are banal and doctrinaire as this one. If men do not like you, it is not because you are a woman, it is because you have this perverted idea of entitlement. Do not globalize this to include "all women."
I said nothing of your attractiveness, though obviously of great importance to you... It is a woman's source of power. Though of course you will deny it. You were the one who said men hated women. Your inner narc comes out because you infer that I said men were not attracted to you. I have little doubt that there are enough guys out there that think with their dicks to fawn over you. And surely there are plenty of white-knights and manginas longing to get your panties off... But like actually you???? Why? When you have so little regard for men? You are also somehow locked into this bizarre idea that I am "woman bashing." This mangina says that women are more altruistic than men because they release more oxytocin. It is flat out a stupid way to measure altruism, and moreover, makes the subsequent assumption that women are not merely equal to men but better! To point this out is not woman bashing, it is egalitarian! There are great women, and horrible women. There are great men and horrible men.
And if you think you are going to insult me by calling me "Grandpa," fill your boots. You are committing "ageism" as well as sexism. So now I am going to respect you??? You are a twit if you think you off the wall comment will garner respect. You will never experience the full cultural prejudice, like I have. Cry me a river. As a white woman in your demographic ( I assume 25-35) you are the most privileged and entitled demographic in the history of the world, and still crying victim.
Okay, back to his talk, within 40 seconds: I quote: "Guess what I found? A lot of bad boys... not many bad girls..."
Is not the speaker himself male bashing? And so, what are his the basis for this judgement? Not behavior, but levels of oxytocin. What kind of junk science/moral thinking is this? Nothing more than his bias that women are inherently superior. He doesn't even articulate the difference between "good" and "bad." Nowhere do I say women are categorically inferior.
I am involved with father's rights. The fight is not for "supremacy" it is a fight for equality. My biggest supporter is a woman, and she has been an angel of mercy for many men. The best judgement that I received in court was by female judge, (and the worst was also a woman). I will never categorically slag women. And my fight at this point is to allow my daughter (a young woman) to have a voice in her future. The fight really comes down to a position that fathers have a different, and valid capacity to nurture children... that great icon of being a woman.
There are many great mothers, who typically accept 50/50 access, and there are controlling, vindictive, and insecure mothers, who try to control and alienate their children from the father. There are many fathers and children out there who are in grave pain at being isolated by the mother because of the misguided stereotypes propagated by people like this guy, namely that women are inherently good, and men are inherently bad.
Note: there are rare cases of fathers alienating their children. This is difference is generally accepted as more because of cultural opportunities than native virtue.
what reasonable men can't accept is the step beyond equality and the seemingly vengeful nature of getting equal and surpassing that to the point where the tables have turned and seem to be backed by an attitude that men did it to women for so long so take that all of you males. by the way, my use of the term "backstabbing cunt" is just direct language, not to be mistaken for a dislike of women. i use the term prick to deccribe men at times, and i don't have a dislike for men.
Haven't you ever seen what happens when the female bonding thing breaks down? it's a little more than just anecdotal. it has resulted in women giving it as a reason as to why they don't like working in a predominantly female environment.
The Royal Institute of science does a much better Lecture on this from Evolutionary Science, Biological Science and Anthropology a lot which seems to contradict some of what he is saying.
I am very frustrated. This guy knows what he is talking about in terms of biology, but that doesn't mean he should be drawing conclusions about it without the proper research. We constantly have it drilled into our heads that men and women are biologically different, which we are, but not to the extent everyone makes it out to be.
This talk is especially frustrating because he makes women out to be perfect creatures due to biology and men out to monsters for the same reason. There is no mention of gendered upbringing or that women are discouraged from aggressive behaviors while its reinforced in men. He also doesn't seem to think that women have any testosterone, which is a problem because then we would have no sex drive.
He talks about biology like it is the only factor in how people develop and interact, but there is a huge piece of the puzzle that he is missing and its called socialization. Thinking that everything is because of biology is dangerous. It can lead to discrimination (against women because we are "genetically weaker" or against men because they are "genetically programmed to be monsters"). And it can lead to thinking that someone just can't help making the decision they did, so why not let them off the hook entirely instead of trying to fix the behavior (preferably through some sort of rehabilitation program as opposed to punishment). This type of biologically-oriented thinking is what keeps racist and sexist myths circulating and what prevents people from taking any kind of constructive action against it. Because why should we if no one can help the way they act anyway?
erin jessee incorrect analysis of what was said. Where did he explicitly state that everything is the consequence of biology? He was just describe the results of his research.
He has 10 minutes to talk about the subject, he has to make it short
Larger Amyglada makes men more efficient at regulating negative emotions....not more emotional. 🤦🏽
interesting talk...don't know how much I actually believe. I think in certain circumstances, men can be more aggressive and in others women can be more aggressive.
I see it as men and women complimenting each other's strengths and weaknesses. we need balance and a respect for both in order to have a healthy society. For example, look at india, where there are 1000 men for every 990 women and while this may not seem like a big difference, do remember that India's population is 1.25 billion. The uptick in violence against women has been attributed to this imbalance. I'm sure violence against men was probably the norm in amazonian society (though I haven't studied ancient Greek societies so I can't speak with any authority there).
Anyway, my point was that both sexes have their strengths and weaknesses, but that doesn't make one sex superior or inferior to the other.
The girls at 3:57 are trying very hard to understand
Difference between Men and Women they both have different parts of body
Period. Topic Ended.
Exactly; body and mind are both very different.
"We all start out as women" every scientist who studies biology just slammed their head against the desk. This myth started by freaking Jurassic Park just won't die.
Although I hate being susceptible to Cunningham's law, there is actually an overwhelming amount of evidence supporting this claim, as has been observed through examining embryos under 7 weeks old. In fact, traces of our pre-male state are exhibited through the presence of our male nipples, and our so-called rache line. Look it up. Rest assured, there is no head slamming.
@@affluenzashot We do have a pre-male status but we don't start out as women.
I'm not a biologist or a scientist or anything, but I do think we might have learned something to this effect in school biology? When he said "we start out as women" it did sound vaguely familiar as something we might have been taught, but isn't it more just that you start out with male or female DNA, but it doesn't fully express as male until a little later? Haha I don't know, I have no idea. I'll have to look it up and find out. If anyone can clear this up for me, though, it'd be appreciated.
Men, never get married.

Bawhaha

fab M what?
harry Grant that he never met a human 🤔
fab M oh yes
I'll tell you one thing about women. In that show "To catch a predator", in the 7 year run of that there was not one female on the internet looking for a child.
I’m not familiar with the show, could you please elaborate?

Why is no one in the comments talking about the incest part?
+Kyle Dean I think you meant inbreeding.
+Foog Guckle ...Same thing.
This is not only a difference biologic but also spiritual...
Sorry Paul Zak but I don't like your presentation one bit! The claims made about women being nicer and better than men are problematic to say the least!
He left something out. Women are nicer except to their men, whom they treat as their worst enemies.
Really Interesting Facts.

Bad boy = Skydiving? This guy appears to be intelligent and clueless at the same time.
Obviously that was just an example of guys being reckless. He probably has nothing against sky diving. How are you supposed to know exactly what he means when he only has 13 minutes to talk?
That really went over your head.
Lets see some sources to cite your research.
By the way mutation is not the norm. But lets change sociology anyway.
He is SO pandering! anything for a few claps, HUH
That doesnt happen in Mexico
It happens in an isolated village. You need to work on your listening skills.
very insensitive.lost my father too sky diving accident. too sensitive.
So many delusional MRAs in the comments... So many fedoras....
I'm kind of a MRA but i totally agree with everything said in this video, it's just pure facts
@@remigaillard4802 Lol... Sure.
oooookay. Was enjoying the video until that just REALLY awful, and like, pretty offensive , description of Klinefelter syndrome. Seriously?
