"recent findings indicate that gender differences in aggressive behaviors disappear when assessments are broadened to include relational aggression--behaviors designed to harm the relationship goals of others by spreading rumors, gossiping, and eliciting peer rejection of others." - Anne M. Conway:

Excellent vid! The Fem claim that men have no utility, other than sperm donation, is absurd. It's actually the other way: Women have very little utility other than bearing children. Men do everything vital to a civilization. What do women do that's vital to our modern society? Everything that makes life easy and convenient for females is provided to them by men. What do females do for males? Males are by far the most important sex. Females cant even give birth without male sperm..don't forget.
You think women never disagree with each other, because women act totally different when they are around men LOL. As soon as men aren't around, they are aggressive dirty, backstabbers. They will stop your story in the middle and make a show of how great their new story is to make you feel like crap for telling a bad one. Albeit, an unfinished one.
In my experience, handling the "girls are good because they listen" argument is quite simple. Ask the person if the little girl should continue to obey docilely as they get older.
Or perhaps it might be partially our culture that gives women a "mental deficit" in post adolescence. Women are rewarded for feminine activities such as being submissive(men are rewarded for being ambitious), putting make-up on, primping themselves, etc. Perhaps a greater portion of the brain is used up (or distracted) by these culturally based feminine activities. I don't know...what do you think???
The same could be said about some Asian cultures vs. Canadian, American, or European cultures. Its not that some Asian cultures are naturally "smarter" than these other cultures on certain parts of acadmeics. Its the fact that their culture places greater emphasis and importance in excelling in these fields... The suicide rate of students in some Asian cultures exceeds the rate of suicide in America or Canada for instance.
That second bit is false. How can women be "more valuable" after menopause on a genetic, reproductive basis? There are evolutionary explanations, but that one is not.
Women have less reproductive potential but more reproductive certainty. It makes sense that they would be risk averse. However, they should use the term "obedient" rather than "listening".
He makes two points worth connecting here: the submissive trait found in female children, and the fact that the top 500 scientists etc are men. Isn't it possible that it's got nothing to do with brain structure, but that women are more apt to believe criticism about them, and so are less willing to go into fields where (though they get less criticism than men in math classes) they are likely to be told straight out, "no, you're wrong."
It's rather surprising that he doesn't connect these two. Seems like common sense to me, but he's off talking about how masculinity has built this wonderful society for women to take advantage of, but women face great violence when not in stable relationships. Who does most of this violence come from? Men, unfortunately. Though I usually enjoy Stef, this one seems rather inconsistent.
A few months ago I heard a man talking on NPR about how mothers approach children "hands down," or with a focus on calming children down when putting kids to bed, whereas fathers go with a "hands up," approach, engaging and playing with children. I seem to remember he was putting on some sort of play about male & female parents. Ever heard of him? Also, has "The God of Atheists" been published? Is it available in the US or on a website?
@Nasikabatrachus Domestic violence is overwhelmingly mutual. Men and women commit about equal amounts of domestic violence according to numerous studies. Women commit the overwhelming majority of child abuse, while fathers are among the least likely to abuse a child. The only category of child abuse where this is not the case is sexual abuse, which is a small minority of overall abuse. Men also account for the majority of victims of non-familial violence.

Sure, but men as children often face great violence from their mothers, so it's part of a terrible cycle. Excellent point above though!
