If it were a man saying that men and women are different it would deemed sexist and the votes on this video would be inverted. We're in the midst of a social rebellion in which science is disregarded in favor of a fictional ideal. The definition of sexist has changed from being derogatory to recognizing any difference. Now more than ever, it is important that videos like this one are created to bring some sanity back to a subject that has gone too far off the rails. We are biologically and psychologically different, and these differences are a positive part of who people are. With race too, the world pushes to pretend that we are all the same. We're better being different. There is no reason why we should all be the same. We should be flaunting the differences between people rather than suppressing them. These differences are positive.
I have a question. How do males and females bond with each other? I don't see how men and women can bond (especially romantically) with each other. Women can build incredible friendships and become very close to each other in a way men can't bond, and science shows that women can bond very well with each other. Generally, women are even more social than men are. After something bad happens, a woman quickly rushes to talk to all of her female friends to get support, whereas a man can isolate himself and grief alone. Women tend to be more emotional, more caring, more empathic, more compassionate, more affectionate, more loyal, more nurturing, more understanding, more sympathetic, more sensitive, more kind hearted, more peaceful, more calmer, more gentle, more expressive, more intuitive, and more outward than men are, and thus bond more with other women in a special way that they can’t with men. Men, on the other hand, are not that emotional, and thus can’t bond with other men in a special way. Women are more comfortable being around with other women than they are with men. They have a type of bond that usually men with women won’t really have, or with men and men. Men are usually much lonelier than women are. Men don't often talk about their personal problems with their male friends like how women do with their female friends. Females produce a lot more oxytocin than males do. And that's a reason why women tend to hug a lot more and be a lot more physically affectionate than men do.
It makes sense that Women and Men both have different ways of operating for basic ways of thinking/acting. However we are such complex beings and those basic functions are just a small part of what makes us human. The majority of ourselves as emotion creatures with interpersonal lives and experiences are all alike or all different, pertaining to the individual instead of their gender. I see people either want to believe there is no difference between the sex's or that the sex's are completely different from each other, which neither are true. Plus the media will inform us about what's considered "masculine" or "feminine." When it really has nothing to do with anything and aren't true biological differences for being a man or woman. Examples are: Men: don't cry. Or, Women: care more more about appearence. Yes these things are true but only because they are socially constructed, not biologically. We all have lives, memories, experiences, loved ones, sexual desires, passions, dreams, emotions. Which is really a lot more of our experience then the more primal differences between a male or female. I think a lot of feminists just want to be recognized as an equal (you can be equal and different).
Sexual dimorphism is real and humans have billions of nuerons in their heads and higher functioning so it goes without saying we can do things that arent going to be inherently male or female. But i'd imagine that our biology affects or behavior on some level it would be kind of ludicrous if it didnt.
RE: Dr. Nugent's ending comments... Actually, Dr. Catherine Dulac of Harvard, in her work on mice, already showed a few years ago that there are two circuits in a single rodent brain, one for male reproductive behavior and one for female reproductive behavior. (popular articles of the day spoke of "When Minnie is Mickey." What Dr Nugent and her team have done is to have identified the molecular underpinnings of the behaviors, in this case, the process of either methylation of demethylation, the latter being the process set in motion by a flood of testosterone in the perinatal period of the rodent, resulting in masculinization of reproductive behaviors in the POA.
+Tl Howard I should have been more precise: Dr. Dulac showed there are two circuits in an individual rodent's brain, one for male behavior, one for female behavior.
Also just because most of the small portion of people they tested compared to the whole world turned out to be more female or more male for certain things doesn't mean it is true for every male or female. Example: me a female, has ADD and was thought to have schizophrenia as a child. While my boyfriend is the one who has bouts of depression, anxiety and social phobia.

Unfortunately, the way the popular press headlined the results of this study, you'd never know WHAT the study showed.
Wonderful work, thanks much

Wowww..... Already know more than I ever did
Getting anxiety because her open glass of water is so close to her laptop which she’s presenting from on her tiny, shaky table. Oh yea, I’m female
This explains sooooo much!

Cant there be multiple routes of masculinization of different parts of the brain and bodddy ???

I think I got attention deficit (likely ADD-PI), so, yay, I'm a true man!
She just killed Feminism in the first 2 mins
I see one homophobe so far gave it thumbs down.
