Beautiful Minds A Little Matter of Gender 1/5

[SarabethJaffe]

that is such a sexist view on gender

[Krenisphia]

At least this one isn't born in the kitchen.

[Natsukashii3]

"she" dsn't like to look very feminine

[zammmerjammer]

@Natsukashii3 You mean she's not pretty? Really? Nice to know that you can overcome a lifelong disability, become a doctor, and be internationally renowned in your field but to some people it still only matters what you look like.

[Natsukashii3]

@zammmerjammer Well of course looks are important, however I never said she was ugly or attractive & I never said that was all that mattered. What I did say was she "dsn't like to look very feminine" or girly. Just an observation, that's all

[someguy1228]

What does she say at 8:14? icicles?

[longfootbuddy]

yes im sure this woman knows how to make the experience of being imprisoned and slaughtered very nice for these cattle...mmmmm mmmhmmm...hmmm, maybe the goverment could use her expertise to make us all feel nice while we're being herded around.. hmm mmmm some of us just arent happy enough.. we need to be happy, comfortable slaves hmm? mmmmyeesssshh buhahahahaha

[MrUberSpanky]

how can he be so sure about man inventing. only chuck norris was there and probelly exchanged some lone wolf mcquade knowledge for some good old hairy pussy, but ofcourse dont speaks about it.

[froggymicwop]

this guy thinks he knows the specific person that invented the wheel? i didn't know we had that on record.

[richie8811]

women have brains? wow, the things you learn...

[ArtistryofDebauchery]

@richie8811 You didn't know that?

[Jcolinsol]

Geezus, this is such hysterical nonsense. Male and female brains? What a load of old bollocks.

[Boogers32150]

@Jcolinsol Sure, when you look at it through the eyes of a sexist, it does appear misogynistic. However, think about evolutionarily: What would be beneficial for women to have at the beginning of our species? Empathy. Why? Because it was seen a crucial part to raising children to become socially adaptable. Men? Their responsibility was aggressiveness via calculated decisions. It was these individuals who were better suited at attracting a mate because these qualities were seen as useful.

[Jcolinsol]

@Boogers32150

Wait, are you accusing me of being sexist? How does that even work?

Look up, "Early Infanticidal Childrearing" and tell me about empathy in early mothers.

I think this is the idea evolution applied in a ridiculous way, not unlike eugenics. It seems that only a little observation can refute this, rather anachronistic, theory.

[zammmerjammer]

@Boogers32150 That explanation is bollocks. There are plenty of aggressive women and plenty of socially adept men. Just because a population leans one way statistically let's not make ridiculous sweeping statements about "men did this" and "women did this" If you know anything about biology and evolution you'll know there are LOTS of successful survival strategies.

[mikaelfodor]

The ratio of autism is 4.3:1 male:female. Such a high difference is surely indicative of an inherent difference between the sexes that cannot be explained by child rearing styles. Simon Baron-Cohen surely does not appear to be hysterical in his assertion, seems more like a well reasoned arguement.

[Jcolinsol]

@mikaelfodor

I meant hysterical in the comedic sense. It's reasoned out alright, but that doesn't mean it's true.

[mozart20dlubos]

That doctor is the brother of Ali G.

@mozart20dlubos Cousin

[RocknCorruptrepublic]

and they say there's no need for men.... lol. but seriously, they're making it sound as though humanity would still be in caves if we left it up to women? wow.

[charmedjoey]

She "sees through the eyes of a cow" and can feel what animals feel, yet she designs slaughter houses? :S

[gr4nd7h3f731373]

@charmedjoey Money is the root of all evil.

[longfootbuddy]

@gr4nd7h3f731373 a wise and true saying indeed.. few realize the extent to which it is true..

[benz8910]

@gr4nd7h3f731373 maybe its just the lesser of two evils in her mind....if there being slaughtered anyway why not slaughter them as painlessly as possible

[Sophie0257]

@charmedjoey If you love animals, and know slaughter is inevitable, designing a humane way to do so seems very empathetic.

[MrTeaB]

what the hell is with the constantly ticking clock???? omg it's so annoying im not sure if i want to watch anymore- shame as it's really interesting.

[medievalbard]

I'm sorry, but there are volumes upon volumes concerning the mechanical, mathematical, logical, and reasonable achievements made by women. Though we do not only think of systems, we do have the ability to succeed and even thrive in the fields of math and mechanics. We are lucky, however, that we are more able to understand and feel for others, unlike the often self-absorbed male brain. Both types have their benefits, but I certainly am glad that I'm female.

[vincentizghra]

@medievalbard Some of the most understanding and patient people I know are males unfortiunately. They have the easiest time caring for one another and me while our collective girl friends are often self-centered and egotistical. So unfortiunately it probably doesn't matter what you are it's just chaos and probability which dictates what characteristics we'll have in the end.

[Mickael709]

A woman sees the world with the eyes of a cow? Why am I not surprised? lol

[CHRISTMASBASTARD]

@Mickael709 Ha ha ha ha I like it I like it!

[froggymicwop]

@ihateyoujerkoff obvious troll is obvious

[255ad]

I'm not saying you shouldn't be say stuff like that I'm saying there should be no censorship

[255ad]

"is the male brain some how defective " it works both ways if you said the reverse they'd call you sexist

[Oneworld87]

This video isn't suitable for vegetarians :(

[Oneworld87]

@Oneworld87 Well, not entirely and it's a little too tailored towards Males; females can be great innovators too!

[finnwesjohn]

@Oneworld87 any person can be anything really, but i think this show is dealing with averages. like on average women will be much better at communication and men will be much better at visual/spacial. but of course, there can be male communicators and female ninjas

[Oneworld87]

@finnwesjohn I agree with you there, but I'm sure that those averages can change if they're under alternative environmental influences.

[Oneworld87]

*100 billion neurons

[yanelpapi]

the men are better on art match and music they create the tecnology and science

[zammmerjammer]

@yanelpapi False. You need to add the word "historically" into that sentence. If you look at academic achievement in the present day you'll see that when given the opportunity women surpass men.

[zeroows]

thanks
