Guys, please turn down the red-pill rhetoric in the comments. This is a video about sports biology. Talking about the "woke mind virus" isn't really contributing to the conversation.
You got this all wrong. It's not that men's necks are built for combat. This disparity is due to women's necks being built for "endurance." This is also why they have greater jaw flexibility and wider mouths.
@@TheOneAndOnlySame There's a clear difference between neurotic types refusing to believe that men and women are not malleable and have innate biological difference, and smugly spouting red pill talking points that just serves to make them look like experts on the subject.
Yeah ofc that's why there are no male scientists, philosophers or priests. No great artists or craftsman. Why men don't have hobbies and come up with all kinds of delightful things. They all just sit in a pit farting and fighting right?
@@RamseyDewey Well actually sex differences are a myth back in the 1920s in the Olympics the female category was created for women because women kept beating men at their own sport
To be fair there are plenty of scientific channels that explore the topic they don't get cancelled. Most of the people getting cancelled for it have a very particular delivery. And use pretty disrespectful language (FnF-typed). And the context of the difference being spoken of usually isn't THIS. I can say ramsey dewey is bald or i could call him a bald mf. One statement is disrespectful, the other not so much.
no one actually gets cancelled over this, even on the left side of political spectrum. Of course, ideology can cloud someone's judgement in both ways - lefties can go in pure biology denialism (which I haven't really seen in a while but that happened), and rightists can start implying that this makes women inherently worse than men and justifies inequality. Personally, I don't see how it's different from me being naturally more physically capable than some 5'6 guy, just cuz I'm bigger. Like yeah, I guess I'm luckier than him in this respect. What does it change in the grand scheme of things? Surprisingly fucking nothing. technological advancements would hopefully make all of us much stronger than currently humanly possible though. We ain't shit by animal standards in most respects anyway, even the most fit of us
finally someone said it; its so validating for me to hear as a female fighter and not just being sold this idea of size and strength don't matter and i could fight a man just as easily as another man could. Sparring in a class of mostly men and having that horrible feeling of knowing if they tried they could easily out power me. Even though i train hard and a weight lift to be the in the best condition i could be to fight, i know it won't compare to my male counterpart putting in the same effort. it's so good to hear the truth spoken, that i am not on a level playing field with the men in my gym, I wish this was spoken about more in this factual and condiderate manner and we weren't all brainwashed into thinking men and women are the same. obviously i speak in genralisation and everyone is different but for me its just so freeing to hear and encorages me to work harder because im not worse than everyone else, i am simply just not evolved in the same way as my male peers
I'm sorry you are in a world where this was not made clear. Women and men are different, which means they are better and worse at various things. I never knew some people were led to believe this was not the case.
@@BEN-ys6guthis is so difficult to navigate. There's research showing how women do worse in maths test just by being in the same room as men. To be subliminally reminded of the societal expectation that you are worse than boys because you are a girl definitely won't help women achieve the most they can. What's an environment that encourages optimal growth? OP here tells us empty promises of equality also doesn't work😂 Maybe all female classes are beneficial after all😂
"Just like a toddler, men insistently ask dumb questions like, 'Why?'" That is literally the most important question to nearly everything, both as a toddler and an adult lol.
Coach here, not just anecdotal, I now have enough data to do a double blind study, I've tested more often than the mouse utopia. Girls follow instructions well, sometimes their low confidence stops them but when it comes to just following the actual order they follow through far better. The guys listen less but actually have better results. In the end girls fight well but in a very formulaic manner. Guys do weird shit you can't teach.
I guess women just don’t really have a fighting instinct… as a woman myself, I feel like I don’t have one. No creativity when it comes to fights. I haven’t trained in any formulas, but I have consumed a fair amount of action genre content… and I still feel no creative impulse when it comes to fighting sequences, even though I’m generally quite creative in other areas. I feel like men tend to enjoy speculating on how fights would play out just based on seeing action content.
Its a difference in creative ability. Men usually have to quickly adapt to situations, whether that's hunting or fighting or a dangerous job. Following a formula may work in a safe office setting, but does it always work in the field? Lol no
@@anastasiya256 I notice men are usually interested in things, how they interact with each other, physics stuff. So they have more past intuition to draw from. Girls I know wouldn't give a damn about any of that. It could be cultural and upbringing, but could also be genetics. Who knows how much the hunting gathering age affected the sexes
@@anastasiya256I was in a little muay thai club before going into mma, my new club have girl only courses so I dont know how they fight in mma ( there was a girl in our boy class but she was a beginner ). BUT, in my muay thai club there was girls, from all ages. They were very very creative, more than boys, notably with the kicks. Since they were sparring with boys and couldnt win with power or speed they were super cunning with pretty good combinaison. One of my favourite combo was something a 15 years old girl used on me. Girls can be crazy creative fighters if they are pushed to be.
Thats more so adapting than evolving. Evolving is generational. So if anything if your child does this same this and their child do the same thing and it goes on for about 50 generations that child would "naturally" evolve for hitting the desk
@@Dev05-fr5npwell atleast from what I’ve seen, the early stages (8 million to 5/4 million bc) they have found fossils of very short humans, (3/4 feet tall) I think Lucy from the Australopithecus afarensis species of humans, was 3 1/2 feet tall and was dated to be 3 million years old. However, she was a female specimen so males could have easily reach 4-4 1/2 feet tall at the time.

Even Mike Tyson, with all his training, would never be able to beat a gorilla in a fight. But that does not diminishes him as a fighter. We have gender and weight division in sports for a reason. Still, I have to point out that, when it comes to human beings specifically, size and strength don't really matter that much. Our brains have always been our true strength, and with a bit of strategy and gunpowder, even a small woman can bring a giant gorilla to its knees.
@@Michael-iw3ek I'm sorry to inform you, but 99.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of people who use guns and gunpowder, didn't invent guns and gunpowder... Also, who invented the those things have nothing to do with my argument.
I'd also add that we don't actually know who invented gunpowder. We just know it was Chinese alchemists, but we can't say for certain that it WASN'T a woman.
@@rodrigomeneguitirodrigues7389 But it does. It takes a lot of intelligence to invent something like that, and then to put it into a tube and get it to push a projectile. It takes basically no intelligence to go to a store and pick up what's readily commercially available and costs, in relative terms, very little - a few hundred dollars is affordable even for someone on minimum wage. So if you are making an argument for a superior use of mind, this doesn't make sense.
Just to be nitpicky about gorilla violence - there are two components to violence: how likely you are to engage in violence and how devastating the results of violence are. Gorillas are less likely to engage in violence but the result tends to be more lethal. Whether there's a causation ("dude, if we fight, one of us dies!") or just correlation, IDK.
That’s why he used an orangutan as a comparison instead of chimps, physical attributes are a component of fighting, the other is violence. The extra strength has gone to waste when you are outnumbered 4 to 1 and the opponent is literally tearing your balls off.
I was actually about to make that comment because while gorillas do have the shorter hands and are more overall violent and orangutans another species of great ape that has similar hands to gorillas are chimpanzees and they are notoriously the most ridiculous violent apes in all of apes doing what our literal crimes of each other on a daily basis and guess which species we have in 98% genetic compatibility with?
I'd wager there's evolutionary selection pressure to use less force the deadlier your force is. Male rattlesnakes compete through ritualised wrestling, presumably because use of their deadliest weapon would result in mutual mutilation at the least, but non venomous gopher snake males will bite and wound each other.
@AlabardaZafiro theories are still unproven, they are just the best current explanation. This doesn't make them true necessarily it just makes them above hypothesis. Someone can still argue against established theories with enough counter evidence.
@@hye878 a theory is a hypothesis that has as of yet resisted every attempt to disprove it. One could call it "proven" in a colloquial sense, such there are no longer any honest questions as to its validity.
When I was doing initial Marine training, the women seemed to suffer a much higher attrition rate for injuries and I always wondered why. But after you highlighted the higher joint angle flexion combined with weaker connective tissue it makes sense as those were the majority of injuries.
This will also be compounded by how often you will be moving with weight far in excess of what you would naturally carry, which (at least from what I have seen) is not scaled as a percentage of bodyweight.
You should look up the fact a guy could take a blast from an IED, and walk it off. Meanwhile a chick ten feet behind him is out of the fight with multiple broken ribs. The differences are massive between the sexes.
@@Briselance i mean health hazards arent just immune systems threats. Thats all kinds of hazards. Most men are in just dangerous jobs If we're talking about a disease and sickness kind of health risk i believe women are disproportionately in the medical field of i recall. They're kind of at risk to that health risk more than the avg person
I had heard that one reason for the discrepancy in performance evolutionarily is the discrepancy in how difficult birthing humans are. We have huge heads that have to be in the womb and be able to be pushed out. Developmentally we also are way behind at birth where babies cant do anything for basically a year and many animals can run the day after birth. So women are out out of commission for longer than most other animals while pregnant, so men have to hunt for 2 or 3 for a couple years.
Add to that that we are intelligent enough to where women can still be useful while pregnant or caring for children. Weaving, sewing, food preservation, making or maintaining tools and pottery all take up significant time and don’t even need a woman to leave the safety of a camp like foraging would.
To be fair, a vid on pregnancy would be a perfect companion vid for this. There's a reason that originally all Euro Gods were warriors, and all Goddesses were beautiful vvomen.
Biology student here: it's not just our heads are huge relative to everything else, it's also our pelvic bone shrunk in width to compensate for walking on two legs(so we don't have to shift our weight from left to right that much). This shrinking in the pelvic bone along with larger head is what made giving birth so much more difficult than other animals. developmentally, because we formed societies, we can afford the time expenditure of half our population being out of commission for longer, so human's are born with less "pre-programmed" stuff and more plasticity/ability to learn
I toyed around with the idea that men value their lives less than women do. This manifests as risk taking and suicide rates. I have a feeling that men are more willing to take a life as well. Both of these would yield an advantage in a fight in the form of a lack of hesitation and willingness to escalate.
You can ejaculate into someone, die and still have reproduced successfully. So dying is less of a downside for men. You also gain more from taking risks, because you can have two children with two women. A woman can't have more children by getting more men.
When i started rugby we had a shortage of male players due to covid and i had to play with older bigger and veteran female rugby players, and i dominated in every way possible. Its not a bad thing we are just different
People don't realize what they're doing to women by not acknowledging these differences. They're placing expectations on us that we just aren't going to achieve.
@TheRisky9 Yep, extreme ideologues who don't play sports themselves and want to pit female athletes against men, care more about their ideology than they do about women's health and well-being.
Why embarassing? Males know that on average they are larger and more powerful than females (so what) but most accept that women are necessary, complementary and the best thing in the world for a man to have. As a species, we need to exploit each others differences for mutual benefit, not regret that we don't have what the other has!
@genuser9758 lots of people today (mainly certain types of feminists) try to push the idea that women are better in every way then men and if you ever bring up biological facts such as strength and testosterone then you would be called misogynistic and your input would not be taken. Of course although men and women are biologically different in some ways they both have advantages and disadvantages and are both important in society
@@eddisonwilde4699 "lots of people today (mainly certain types of feminists) try to push the idea that women are better in every way then men and if you ever bring up biological facts such as strength and testosterone then you would be called misogynistic and your input would not be taken." I've spent a ton of time in liberal spaces and I've never once seen that. Maybe what you're actually seeing is some high school kids and college kids or maybe some sensationalised media that is intended to mischaraterise what feminism actually is?
As a female ex-fighter (UK Ladies TKD Heavyweight champion in the 90s) also remember boys get fighting experience by scrapping with each other. Girls tend to just get bitchy rather than get physical. Luckily I had male cousins my size and weight as a child so I got some crucial fight experience before puberty. Came in handy later as my instructor would make me spar against the guys in the group as prep for competitions. Getting hit by those guys hurt so I got good at avoiding strikes and kicks. But when they hit home, I wasn't in a state of shock, just motivated.
Play to your own advantages and use your weaknesses. I once knocked a guy out in highschool cause i tired him out first dogging (edit:meant dodging lol)( i knew i was effed if he got ahold of me) before i managed to clock him in the jaw. Almost broke my hand. Thats the day i realized i dont like fighting. Its terrifying having someone bigger and stronger than you coming at you
Fun fact: Part of the reason that women are 3 times more likely to experience whiplash is due to the fact that they have far smaller neck muscles, as well as far smaller mastoid processes, which is the bone behind the ear that the neck muscles attach to. As such, they have comparatively weaker neck muscles, and a weaker attachment point for those muscles to hold onto. Which was literally stated in the video, yet you still read this far.
Holy moly, unless you are trolling us in the description, I've just correctly identified all 5 :O Kudos for linking the sources, that should be a standard for all of the creators, so thanks for setting a good example :)
The anecdotal example rings true: example; there are more top chefs that are male than female. Whatever the criteria it is to be a 'top chef' because men are more likely to not follow the recipe and try different things whereas women are more likely to follow the instructions. You can see it on a play ground. Boys are more likely to push and challenge each other to feats that are quantifiable. Girls are more likely to be playing games that orbit around socializing and 'getting along'
My wife and I have type 2B and we are NW European decent, which only a quarter of that population have this trait. We can sprint fast. I’m 65 and I never had a complete fall, I recover as I nearly hit the ground. Type 2B is good for old people.
The selection process might be ongoing. Globally, 79% of all homicide victims are men, and 95% of all convicted murderers are men. So, traits that protect us from other men would still be advantageous.
That's not how evolution works. There's no "selection process", it's just that heritable traits that make an organism statistically more likely to reproduce in a particular environment become more common over time, and vice versa for traits that make an organism less likely to reproduce. "Selection" is always happening, but also largely irrelevant to modern humans.
@@sashaboydcom I made no attempt to describe evolution. Evolutionary pressure, selective pressure or selection pressure are all interchangeable terms. To suggest there is no selective pressure on modern humans is nonsense.
Well having a weapon and using a weapon are two different advantages. Women prefer strong muscular and well defined men for partners. Regardless of whether or not these men actually use their increased physicality for violence. They prefer men who are capable of violence (defending them)
@@keatoinfo its actually mostly due to anti-male stereotypes in the judiciary. It is well documented that women get orders of magnitude less time when convicted of the same crime as men do.
19:00 I was thinking the same thing when I was watching female UFC fighters after watching a bunch of males. The women were throwing combos everytime like they were throwing em at pads even when they missed their target they went thru with the combo just punching air like following the formula, while the men were more fluid with their strikes just kinda throwing watever limb was in range or setting things up, and when the missed they wouldnt throw another strike and if the did it was something wild just to get out of danger. I feel like women fight more using what theyve drilled over and over while men are more creative just mixing and matching what they know
Yup. That's why at open tournaments, I have to be careful how I warm up at tournaments. Because I will often accidentally reveal exactly what I'm going to put out. So, normally, I'll grab one of my guy friends and do some light sparing to mask my techniques.
This is the only comment I will not agree with in the entire comment section. It sounded like you watched one fight and it was a shit fight too. "Throwing whatever limb and punching air" is not a typical female fight, yet alone in the most elite fighting promotion. In fact it is very much the opposite - most ufc female fighter are quite strategic. Nunes was interesting as she was the only brawler. Male brawlers - loads of them.
@khylaldana2757 dunno about you, but I used to tank and dodge the chancla, ain't none fighting me, my parents had to take away my stuff to discipline me, instead of violence

It’s funny that you bring up endures. I train for endurance. Try do push-ups but make them slow and steady. I can take as long as 15sec for one while in constant motion.

@@chrisulmer694 How does an archeologist tell if cultures are not hypercompetitive and violent? This goes against everything we know about early humans. Every other hominid skeleton we uncover has mortal wounds, crushed bones, and weapon marks.
@@faberofwillandmight *”Every other skeleton we uncover has mortal wounds, crushed bones, and weapon marks.” That’s simply not true. Yes, there are skeletons, particularly around battlefields, with these features, but that is a false statement according to archeology. What science has actually determined is that the thing called “human nature” is actually very malleable. The determining factor for human behavior is the environment and the access to resources, or lack there of. If we want to dramatically lower the level of violence in our society, we need to stop making so many, go without. Otherwise, doing the opposite is a sure fire recipe for ultimate destruction.*
I do want to add to the anecdotal part: even though there *might* be differences in mindset, one thing to keep in mind is that combat gyms are generally very much male dominated spaces which can have effect on how women express themselves, for example will they ask the "stupid" questions.

I know the guys are going super easy on me but even then Its hard to manipulate their bodies when you dont have the physicality for it, so im stuck doing the fundamentals.

If you really want equal fights, then pick up some weapons. We evolved to sacrifice our bare hands fighting capabilities for better tools use. That includes weapons. I'm always annoyed, when people say how we suck and would lose to most animals around our size, while pitting us against those animals without any weapons. Thats like fighting a wolf with broken jaw or ram without its thick skull and horns.
In Japanese sword martial arts, I have often heard that some weapons work better with women than with men, examples being the Naginata, a big spear but the tip being a sword instead. I always wondered why exactly people say that was. Some poeple said it was because of the biomechanics of circular motions being better with women but that doesn't really explain a whole lot. Even today it is now mostly female practicioners and female senseis for that one particular martial art.
I think it's just traditionally a women's weapon. It's size and weight helped overcome male advantages and because the onna-musha were expected to protect the home from marauders. So a pole arm and the bow and arrow allowed them to fight from defensive positions.
@@obiwanquixote8423 this. Most people w/o training dont understand that spears and polearms trump swords, and by giving a woman a weapon with a longer reach, you help her negate the speed and strength advantage of men.
Naginata looks like an awful weapon. Essentially get inside the 1st strike and its over. There is no way to mitigate . Im saying this purely looking at the weapon. It also lacks a guard. Bye bye fingers if that ever gets blocked. Spears in general are easier to use so I can assume this is the reason a woman would use as they probably didnt get to practice a whole lot. This weapon i dont see it beating any samurai not to mention its probably awful to use inside a house. I can see it being useful tho as a weapon for women for the longer reach as its scary to be in close infighting and a man would win in this scenario 100 %. People love being romantics about women being some sort of super heroes , but in truth men did all the fighting while women would defend worst case scenario.
@@subterragaming836 its a common weapon used in many cultures. Its advantages are reach and power, which is why it was the chosen weapon of women. Getting inside that first strike with a sword is far more difficult than it seems, esp from a psychological standpoint.

Me watching this after getting beaten by the girl at the gym : ( Edit: didn't want to start a discussion,.just a fun chill comment. I am not ashamed at all, just happy to train and often impressed by her abilities. I'm sure many women are better fighters than me (especially the among the ones competing in MMA) and I happen to know one of them.
I actually admire her a lot. She has been training for a while (often twice a day) and wins competition after competition. Its inspiring and motivating to see her becoming a champion.
I also have been beaten multiple times by the BJJ cougar at my local gym. She's a higher rank. However, when it came to take down drills, I pretty much demolished her, then her daughter, and the rest of the guys in our line. So when she cycled back into the next round I let her win to change up the roster. The point I'm making is. Don't underestimate your strength...... you can do some serious damage to em if you actually get serious.
Question/theory: Physical activity shapes physiology even within an individual lifetime- it’s why you can identify swimmers, rock climbers etc by body type- the use of your body in specific ways changes it. Many men have fought, at least as children, I wonder how much of an impact that makes.
That's a the Swimmer Fallacy. It is well documented. If you want to have a olympic level swimmer like physique, you think you have to become a swimmer. But most of these swimmers are so good at swimming because of their body type. Meaning you can't have this type of body by swimming.
Being strong is about having confidence in your own abilities. If your women your goal shouldn’t be to outperform men were they excel but to be the best person you can be and being content with your own strength. If you need to test your strength against others to feel this strength then that’s fine. Not all men can out perform women and not all women can outperform men.

I don't feel confident concluding that all these factors determine a strong selective pressure for fist fighting. Wrestling and weapon dueling seem way more prevelant in early human societies and a lot less risky for the victor. You did two videos about bare-knuckle fist fighting, so I know you read up on how unskilled punchers hurt themselves very easily (let's not act like broken fingers aren't a big deal in a pre-industrial society). Besides, we all know most unruly fist fights are going to end up on the ground anyway.
Most fights don't end up on the ground. That is a flawed statistic that comes from research on police altercations with suspects that they were trying to take down and cuff. So, of course most of those altercations ended up on the ground. However, a study of hundreds of actual street fights from CCTV footage, found that approximately 40% of fights went to ground and 60% didn't. This tells us that the majority of fights don't actually end up on the ground, and if people do get knocked down, they get back up again as soon as they can.
i train my mothers and i found that one of them, especially (bc that one doesn't have adhd and thus can focus) only need like 45 seconds of rest, and her performance doesn't dramatically decrease, she is also training pretty hard compared to her training age. i need about 3 minutes of rest for that particular muscle if im going all out
I think that’s more because men are better at pushing their muscles to their limits than women are. All the time in the gym I’m seeing guys lift until their muscles and faces are red while women end the set once they start feeling the burn so of course guys are gonna need more recovery time.
Men have more muscle mass and use more energy when using their muscles, while women don't. It also explains why women are better at longer forms of exercise. Men's muscles are built for short efficient bursts of energy while women can use theirs for long periods without getting exhausted and their recovery time is shorter. It's why men are better at 100 metres races and women at marathons.
Men can recruit much much more muscle fibers than women, hence the extreme power discrepancies we have between the genders, this also manifests in women being able to "perform" at a higher level more consistently, but really its that they are performing at a lower level consistently, much less power output and thus less metabolites, muscle damage etc. Basically men can perform a lot more work in a shorter amount of time and conversely need to recover from it. The men are still performing much more work in the time period.
I was surprised that you didn't mention shoulder width. You did mention briefly about men having a longer wingspan, which shoulder width does contribute to.

I often see comments in the same vein as this in similar videos but unfortunately I don't think it would matter. I have been involved in these conversations before and the issue is that the 2 sides are just operating on different axis. The side this video is related to is the pragmatic aspect and values scientific data and mechanical understanding. Solutions for this side take the form of technological change. The other side is related to idealism and values the social and emotional aspects. Solutions for this side take the form of social change. The conversations always break down into how things are vs how people want them to be treated, with completely different views on what the ideal outcome even is. Longer winded than I wanted but this is the best way I could describe my understanding and why I don't think this videos like this are any kind of silver bullet, because (to extend the metaphor) your fighting vampires not werewolves.

I was thinking about this video this afternoon, and realised that the evidence for idea that men are designed for fighting other men actually fits just as well, if not better, with the idea that men are designed biologically for manual labour. Having a strong back, core, arms, as well as tendons and bones means that you are able to work physically every day and build things that contribute to society. I think that if we were built for fighting primarily, we'd be built a little different, with more than just a fist for offensive weapons. But having muscles that are able to exert higher strength and more explosive power, as well as brains that are more imaginative than teachable, is what makes humans so good at building things. Those muscles that are so good at manual labour, just also so happen to be the ones that are good for fighting, and so my hypothesis is that men who are better at fighting are also the ones who are able to build and then subsequently defend society. The male temperament fits very well with that goal.
A pitty that you had to explain it for some people. We men are build for potential violence compared to woman and it is a good think ive we use it for the right things.
Even more of a pity that there's people in the comments thinking this is sexist and misogynist and even sadder we've fallen so far that you can't understand whether they're actually being serious or if they're rage baiters
It's just sexual dimorphism. It's not fair, but there isn't much that can be done about it. We just don't base society around it, and it cringe when personalities and politics are.
It's completely fair. 99% of women don't _want_ be big, tough or strong. In fact, they glory in _being protected._ Guys aren't complaining about not being able to get pregnant and birth actual human life like a freaking divine creature, or being super hot and being able to manipulate the entire other half of the two sexes with our bodies alone. Women are amazing, wonderful beings who deserve respect and love and admiration. . . and who is it that's telling women that they should _really_ just want to be men? Other women.
It's really fascinating that there are so many differences. I knew the basics but a lot of this was still news to me. I also appreciate the sources. Any way you could allow people to make subtitles for the video? I'd love to share it around but most people I know don't speak English.
Men have a very significant social skill, that is to work efficiently in groups and collaborate within power hierarchies performing specific tasks assigned to them by a leader to fulfil a particular goal within a particular time constraint. This was crucial to form tribes and establish social order within the tribe and prevent intertribal warfare.

To that i would say that the sport of wrestling and real fighting are very different and even opposites, even if you excluding striking. Pinning is a victory in wrestling, but its just your ability to immobilize someone with your weight. In a real grapple, pinning in that sense does you effectively nothing to win the fight, you two are just laying there. Also, it is necessary in wrestling to avoid having your back on the floor thus having your opponent on your back isn't much of a problem. But in a real fight where giving your back to someone means you cannot see what they are doing and/or they will put you in a chokehold is a very dangerous position. All this to say that wrestling correlates little in terms of good fighting ability.
I know men are stronger and better at fighting, but are women more flexible and more agile? Because women are good at gymnastics and acrobatics, right?
women aren't better at gymnastics than men. Men's and women's gymnastics are two different sports so it's not possible to compare them. Women suck at men's gymnastics and men suck at women's gymnastics (look at male gymnasts trying to do the wolf turn and female gymnasts trying to do the iron cross, both look really bad). That being said, women are naturally more flexible and have better mobility than men

I can attest to the proportional aspect, for a while my younger sister was slightly larger than me in almost every aspect dimensions-wise, yet I always outwrestled her and could throw her around, and she was always getting injured in competitions, particularly open-sex. I was quite simply male, and that was the difference. and then I grew up and it's not even a competition anymore...

I can say ramsey dewey is bald or i could call him a bald mf. One statement is disrespectful, the other not so much.
no one actually gets cancelled over this, even on the left side of political spectrum. Of course, ideology can cloud someone's judgement in both ways - lefties can go in pure biology denialism (which I haven't really seen in a while but that happened), and rightists can start implying that this makes women inherently worse than men and justifies inequality. Personally, I don't see how it's different from me being naturally more physically capable than some 5'6 guy, just cuz I'm bigger. Like yeah, I guess I'm luckier than him in this respect. What does it change in the grand scheme of things? Surprisingly fucking nothing.
technological advancements would hopefully make all of us much stronger than currently humanly possible though. We ain't shit by animal standards in most respects anyway, even the most fit of us
finally someone said it; its so validating for me to hear as a female fighter and not just being sold this idea of size and strength don't matter and i could fight a man just as easily as another man could. Sparring in a class of mostly men and having that horrible feeling of knowing if they tried they could easily out power me. Even though i train hard and a weight lift to be the in the best condition i could be to fight, i know it won't compare to my male counterpart putting in the same effort.
it's so good to hear the truth spoken, that i am not on a level playing field with the men in my gym, I wish this was spoken about more in this factual and condiderate manner and we weren't all brainwashed into thinking men and women are the same. obviously i speak in genralisation and everyone is different but for me its just so freeing to hear and encorages me to work harder because im not worse than everyone else, i am simply just not evolved in the same way as my male peers
Isn't it ironic how what was supposed to be encouraging (I think) and make you think you're not worse than everyone else had the opposite effect.

Coach here, not just anecdotal, I now have enough data to do a double blind study, I've tested more often than the mouse utopia. Girls follow instructions well, sometimes their low confidence stops them but when it comes to just following the actual order they follow through far better. The guys listen less but actually have better results. In the end girls fight well but in a very formulaic manner. Guys do weird shit you can't teach.
I guess women just don’t really have a fighting instinct… as a woman myself, I feel like I don’t have one. No creativity when it comes to fights. I haven’t trained in any formulas, but I have consumed a fair amount of action genre content… and I still feel no creative impulse when it comes to fighting sequences, even though I’m generally quite creative in other areas. I feel like men tend to enjoy speculating on how fights would play out just based on seeing action content.
Its a difference in creative ability. Men usually have to quickly adapt to situations, whether that's hunting or fighting or a dangerous job. Following a formula may work in a safe office setting, but does it always work in the field? Lol no
@@anastasiya256 I notice men are usually interested in things, how they interact with each other, physics stuff. So they have more past intuition to draw from.

@@ArmchairViolence oh if it was we would have had it rubbed in our faces by now.
Just to be nitpicky about gorilla violence - there are two components to violence: how likely you are to engage in violence and how devastating the results of violence are. Gorillas are less likely to engage in violence but the result tends to be more lethal. Whether there's a causation ("dude, if we fight, one of us dies!") or just correlation, IDK.
That’s why he used an orangutan as a comparison instead of chimps, physical attributes are a component of fighting, the other is violence. The extra strength has gone to waste when you are outnumbered 4 to 1 and the opponent is literally tearing your balls off.
I think that's similar in a lot of humans, in that we may be faster to engage in a fight, but less likely to take it to the lethal edge.
I was actually about to make that comment because while gorillas do have the shorter hands and are more overall violent and orangutans another species of great ape that has similar hands to gorillas are chimpanzees and they are notoriously the most ridiculous violent apes in all of apes doing what our literal crimes of each other on a daily basis and guess which species we have in 98% genetic compatibility with?

This will also be compounded by how often you will be moving with weight far in excess of what you would naturally carry, which (at least from what I have seen) is not scaled as a percentage of bodyweight.

I had heard that one reason for the discrepancy in performance evolutionarily is the discrepancy in how difficult birthing humans are. We have huge heads that have to be in the womb and be able to be pushed out.
Developmentally we also are way behind at birth where babies cant do anything for basically a year and many animals can run the day after birth.
So women are out out of commission for longer than most other animals while pregnant, so men have to hunt for 2 or 3 for a couple years.
Add to that that we are intelligent enough to where women can still be useful while pregnant or caring for children. Weaving, sewing, food preservation, making or maintaining tools and pottery all take up significant time and don’t even need a woman to leave the safety of a camp like foraging would.

Biology student here: it's not just our heads are huge relative to everything else, it's also our pelvic bone shrunk in width to compensate for walking on two legs(so we don't have to shift our weight from left to right that much). This shrinking in the pelvic bone along with larger head is what made giving birth so much more difficult than other animals.
developmentally, because we formed societies, we can afford the time expenditure of half our population being out of commission for longer, so human's are born with less "pre-programmed" stuff and more plasticity/ability to learn
I toyed around with the idea that men value their lives less than women do. This manifests as risk taking and suicide rates. I have a feeling that men are more willing to take a life as well. Both of these would yield an advantage in a fight in the form of a lack of hesitation and willingness to escalate.
Apparently, women attempt suicide more than men. They just have a lower success rate.
You can ejaculate into someone, die and still have reproduced successfully. So dying is less of a downside for men.
You also gain more from taking risks, because you can have two children with two women. A woman can't have more children by getting more men.

Fun fact: Part of the reason that women are 3 times more likely to experience whiplash is due to the fact that they have far smaller neck muscles, as well as far smaller mastoid processes, which is the bone behind the ear that the neck muscles attach to. As such, they have comparatively weaker neck muscles, and a weaker attachment point for those muscles to hold onto. Which was literally stated in the video, yet you still read this far.

The anecdotal example rings true: example; there are more top chefs that are male than female. Whatever the criteria it is to be a 'top chef' because men are more likely to not follow the recipe and try different things whereas women are more likely to follow the instructions. You can see it on a play ground. Boys are more likely to push and challenge each other to feats that are quantifiable. Girls are more likely to be playing games that orbit around socializing and 'getting along'
Because men often have type 2a or 2b, whilst woman have type 1 muscles, also mean that women have less twitchy hands on average and make good snipers
But this is negated by better ability of men in therms of finding and tracking moving objects
Have more* men also have type 1 fibers and women also have type 2.
Well, USSR did use women as snipers during WWII while not using them as much in other combat roles.

The selection process might be ongoing.
Globally, 79% of all homicide victims are men, and 95% of all convicted murderers are men. So, traits that protect us from other men would still be advantageous.
That's not how evolution works. There's no "selection process", it's just that heritable traits that make an organism statistically more likely to reproduce in a particular environment become more common over time, and vice versa for traits that make an organism less likely to reproduce. "Selection" is always happening, but also largely irrelevant to modern humans.
@@sashaboydcom I made no attempt to describe evolution. Evolutionary pressure, selective pressure or selection pressure are all interchangeable terms.
To suggest there is no selective pressure on modern humans is nonsense.
Well having a weapon and using a weapon are two different advantages. Women prefer strong muscular and well defined men for partners. Regardless of whether or not these men actually use their increased physicality for violence. They prefer men who are capable of violence (defending them)
@@keatoinfo its actually mostly due to anti-male stereotypes in the judiciary.
It is well documented that women get orders of magnitude less time when convicted of the same crime as men do.
Men are indeed, "Built different"
19:00 I was thinking the same thing when I was watching female UFC fighters after watching a bunch of males. The women were throwing combos everytime like they were throwing em at pads even when they missed their target they went thru with the combo just punching air like following the formula, while the men were more fluid with their strikes just kinda throwing watever limb was in range or setting things up, and when the missed they wouldnt throw another strike and if the did it was something wild just to get out of danger. I feel like women fight more using what theyve drilled over and over while men are more creative just mixing and matching what they know
Yup. That's why at open tournaments, I have to be careful how I warm up at tournaments. Because I will often accidentally reveal exactly what I'm going to put out. So, normally, I'll grab one of my guy friends and do some light sparing to mask my techniques.
@@fakshen1973one championship fighters are not on the same level as ufc.
This is the only comment I will not agree with in the entire comment section. It sounded like you watched one fight and it was a shit fight too. "Throwing whatever limb and punching air" is not a typical female fight, yet alone in the most elite fighting promotion. In fact it is very much the opposite - most ufc female fighter are quite strategic. Nunes was interesting as she was the only brawler. Male brawlers - loads of them.

The determining factor for human behavior is the environment and the access to resources, or lack there of.

and women too
I do want to add to the anecdotal part:
even though there *might* be differences in mindset, one thing to keep in mind is that combat gyms are generally very much male dominated spaces which can have effect on how women express themselves, for example will they ask the "stupid" questions.

I know the guys are going super easy on me but even then Its hard to manipulate their bodies when you dont have the physicality for it, so im stuck doing the fundamentals.
Im not entirely ignoring the sexual differences tho. There’s a reason why most combat sport techniques were developed by men.

If you really want equal fights, then pick up some weapons. We evolved to sacrifice our bare hands fighting capabilities for better tools use. That includes weapons. I'm always annoyed, when people say how we suck and would lose to most animals around our size, while pitting us against those animals without any weapons. Thats like fighting a wolf with broken jaw or ram without its thick skull and horns.
True words man. But that's also make us more vulnerable when no weapon
In Japanese sword martial arts, I have often heard that some weapons work better with women than with men, examples being the Naginata, a big spear but the tip being a sword instead. I always wondered why exactly people say that was. Some poeple said it was because of the biomechanics of circular motions being better with women but that doesn't really explain a whole lot. Even today it is now mostly female practicioners and female senseis for that one particular martial art.
Women are circles, confirmed
I think it's just traditionally a women's weapon. It's size and weight helped overcome male advantages and because the onna-musha were expected to protect the home from marauders. So a pole arm and the bow and arrow allowed them to fight from defensive positions.
@@obiwanquixote8423 this. Most people w/o training dont understand that spears and polearms trump swords, and by giving a woman a weapon with a longer reach, you help her negate the speed and strength advantage of men.
Naginata looks like an awful weapon. Essentially get inside the 1st strike and its over. There is no way to mitigate . Im saying this purely looking at the weapon. It also lacks a guard. Bye bye fingers if that ever gets blocked. Spears in general are easier to use so I can assume this is the reason a woman would use as they probably didnt get to practice a whole lot. This weapon i dont see it beating any samurai not to mention its probably awful to use inside a house. I can see it being useful tho as a weapon for women for the longer reach as its scary to be in close infighting and a man would win in this scenario 100 %. People love being romantics about women being some sort of super heroes , but in truth men did all the fighting while women would defend worst case scenario.
@@subterragaming836 its a common weapon used in many cultures. Its advantages are reach and power, which is why it was the chosen weapon of women. Getting inside that first strike with a sword is far more difficult than it seems, esp from a psychological standpoint.

Man, woman, man, man, woman. Very enjoyable and informative. One item - a strain medially across the knee as in your illustration will first compromise the medial collateral ligament, which is effectively a thickening of the joint capsule on the medial side of the knee. Once the MCL is torn, the ACL is vulnerable. The main purpose of the ACL is to keep the tibia (lower leg) from sliding too far in front of the femur (upper leg), so it is most vulnerable from impact below the knee from behind.

I actually admire her a lot. She has been training for a while (often twice a day) and wins competition after competition. Its inspiring and motivating to see her becoming a champion.
I also have been beaten multiple times by the BJJ cougar at my local gym. She's a higher rank.
However, when it came to take down drills, I pretty much demolished her, then her daughter, and the rest of the guys in our line. So when she cycled back into the next round I let her win to change up the roster.
The point I'm making is. Don't underestimate your strength...... you can do some serious damage to em if you actually get serious.
Question/theory:
Physical activity shapes physiology even within an individual lifetime- it’s why you can identify swimmers, rock climbers etc by body type- the use of your body in specific ways changes it. Many men have fought, at least as children, I wonder how much of an impact that makes.

Being strong is about having confidence in your own abilities. If your women your goal shouldn’t be to outperform men were they excel but to be the best person you can be and being content with your own strength. If you need to test your strength against others to feel this strength then that’s fine. Not all men can out perform women and not all women can outperform men. Focus on yourself and stop comparing each other.

But most men can outperform women in this domain. I never understand the "it depends" argument. Some things are just true, despite nuance.

I support analyzing this in an analytical way instead just “🧐hmmmm I seem to notice a difference between the genders🤓”
I don't feel confident concluding that all these factors determine a strong selective pressure for fist fighting. Wrestling and weapon dueling seem way more prevelant in early human societies and a lot less risky for the victor. You did two videos about bare-knuckle fist fighting, so I know you read up on how unskilled punchers hurt themselves very easily (let's not act like broken fingers aren't a big deal in a pre-industrial society). Besides, we all know most unruly fist fights are going to end up on the ground anyway.
Rocks
A documentary I watched, a long time ago, showed that our arm and leg ratios evolutionary were pretty much optimized for throwing spears.
Most fights don't end up on the ground. That is a flawed statistic that comes from research on police altercations with suspects that they were trying to take down and cuff. So, of course most of those altercations ended up on the ground. However, a study of hundreds of actual street fights from CCTV footage, found that approximately 40% of fights went to ground and 60% didn't. This tells us that the majority of fights don't actually end up on the ground, and if people do get knocked down, they get back up again as soon as they can.
Wow, this video is amazingly informative! This channel will blow up.
i train my mothers and i found that one of them, especially (bc that one doesn't have adhd and thus can focus)
only need like 45 seconds of rest, and her performance doesn't dramatically decrease, she is also training pretty hard compared to her training age.
i need about 3 minutes of rest for that particular muscle if im going all out
You have multiple mothers?
I think that’s more because men are better at pushing their muscles to their limits than women are. All the time in the gym I’m seeing guys lift until their muscles and faces are red while women end the set once they start feeling the burn so of course guys are gonna need more recovery time.
thats not how biology works.
nobody has two mothers.
Men have more muscle mass and use more energy when using their muscles, while women don't. It also explains why women are better at longer forms of exercise. Men's muscles are built for short efficient bursts of energy while women can use theirs for long periods without getting exhausted and their recovery time is shorter. It's why men are better at 100 metres races and women at marathons.
Men can recruit much much more muscle fibers than women, hence the extreme power discrepancies we have between the genders, this also manifests in women being able to "perform" at a higher level more consistently, but really its that they are performing at a lower level consistently, much less power output and thus less metabolites, muscle damage etc.
Basically men can perform a lot more work in a shorter amount of time and conversely need to recover from it. The men are still performing much more work in the time period.
The most perfect tumbnail.
I was surprised that you didn't mention shoulder width. You did mention briefly about men having a longer wingspan, which shoulder width does contribute to. But the shoulders, to me, are a huge advantage not just physically but also psychologically intimidating.
Maybe throwing stuff is most benefited from having broad shoulders, but that does somewhat defeat the purpose of your video, which is male-on-male fist fights.
Snipers - they make hella good snipers
I wish they would just show this video when arguing allowing transgender to compete in women’s sport - seems straight forward
I often see comments in the same vein as this in similar videos but unfortunately I don't think it would matter.
I have been involved in these conversations before and the issue is that the 2 sides are just operating on different axis.
The side this video is related to is the pragmatic aspect and values scientific data and mechanical understanding. Solutions for this side take the form of technological change.
The other side is related to idealism and values the social and emotional aspects. Solutions for this side take the form of social change.
The conversations always break down into how things are vs how people want them to be treated, with completely different views on what the ideal outcome even is.

I was thinking about this video this afternoon, and realised that the evidence for idea that men are designed for fighting other men actually fits just as well, if not better, with the idea that men are designed biologically for manual labour. Having a strong back, core, arms, as well as tendons and bones means that you are able to work physically every day and build things that contribute to society. I think that if we were built for fighting primarily, we'd be built a little different, with more than just a fist for offensive weapons. But having muscles that are able to exert higher strength and more explosive power, as well as brains that are more imaginative than teachable, is what makes humans so good at building things. Those muscles that are so good at manual labour, just also so happen to be the ones that are good for fighting, and so my hypothesis is that men who are better at fighting are also the ones who are able to build and then subsequently defend society. The male temperament fits very well with that goal.
Informative and entertaining, as always! 👍
A pitty that you had to explain it for some people. We men are build for potential violence compared to woman and it is a good think ive we use it for the right things.
Even more of a pity that there's people in the comments thinking this is sexist and misogynist and even sadder we've fallen so far that you can't understand whether they're actually being serious or if they're rage baiters
It's just sexual dimorphism. It's not fair, but there isn't much that can be done about it. We just don't base society around it, and it cringe when personalities and politics are.
It's completely fair. 99% of women don't _want_ be big, tough or strong. In fact, they glory in _being protected._
Guys aren't complaining about not being able to get pregnant and birth actual human life like a freaking divine creature, or being super hot and being able to manipulate the entire other half of the two sexes with our bodies alone.
Women are amazing, wonderful beings who deserve respect and love and admiration. . . and who is it that's telling women that they should _really_ just want to be men?

Extremely through and concise analysis! 💪
Men have a very significant social skill, that is to work efficiently in groups and collaborate within power hierarchies performing specific tasks assigned to them by a leader to fulfil a particular goal within a particular time constraint. This was crucial to form tribes and establish social order within the tribe and prevent intertribal warfare.
Nah, the sadan and mucle car comparation was perfect.
Men are better at fighting because women selectively bred with the best fighters for the last 10,000 years.

Some would say you lost, some would say you won.
@@thegodofsoapkekcario1970 lmao
You lost the battle but not the war if you know what i mean
To that i would say that the sport of wrestling and real fighting are very different and even opposites, even if you excluding striking. Pinning is a victory in wrestling, but its just your ability to immobilize someone with your weight. In a real grapple, pinning in that sense does you effectively nothing to win the fight, you two are just laying there. Also, it is necessary in wrestling to avoid having your back on the floor thus having your opponent on your back isn't much of a problem. But in a real fight where giving your back to someone means you cannot see what they are doing and/or they will put you in a chokehold is a very dangerous position. All this to say that wrestling correlates little in terms of good fighting ability.
We both know you allowed that to happen sly dog 😏
I know men are stronger and better at fighting, but are women more flexible and more agile? Because women are good at gymnastics and acrobatics, right?
Women are more flexible.
To me understanding, men are more agile due to the increased fast-twitch fibers
women aren't better at gymnastics than men. Men's and women's gymnastics are two different sports so it's not possible to compare them. Women suck at men's gymnastics and men suck at women's gymnastics (look at male gymnasts trying to do the wolf turn and female gymnasts trying to do the iron cross, both look really bad). That being said, women are naturally more flexible and have better mobility than men
Same, they can both do the gymnastics thing on a same level with some practice
Men are so much better at acrobatics that men's gymnastics is an entirely different sports to women's gymnastics.
Id say women are better at being flexible but this is something that can be practiced and a man can achieve to similar degree. But on average ye.
