I think people are missing the point here. The content of this video is to promote human longevity, not politics.

Because they do all the hard work not to mention they retire later then women.

maybe men are more established at being smart.

the worlds best professors, artists, cooks - anything, are mostly male. many females seem to like to believe this is all just because of unfair play, but this is not likely.

women have a long history of not dealing with technical\intellectual things that much, perhaps. so just wait till they catch up, because that's when the equality will show.

@MrJarth

i guess countries like that would have to prevent a lot of children to have a substantial impact on the world ratio.quoting from wikipedia again, from the list of countries by ratio:

usa has a ratio of 1.05

this is far from "far fewer" male embryos. she doesn't further support her argument.

[MrJarth]

@53ph well in western countries we have more females. en fact in most countries it is like that. but because of china's one child policy they have alot more men, hence a balance of the sexes?

[mkim1224]

look at the like to dislike ratio in this video. Look at the like and dislike ratio in other videos that show a woman speaking or talk about the differences between the sexes, biologically or socially. See the trend? Men are overly and perhaps even sleeper sexists. If you're a guy and you hear someone talk about something that favors women over men (even if it's something biological like in this video), ESPECIALLY if that someone is a woman, something ticks in your mind and you end up not liking

[53ph]

if "FAR FEWER" male embryos make it to delivery, then why is the male\female distribution 50%?

i call bull.

see the wikipedia article on s*x ratio for example, which i'm censored to post the link here

This video is rather excellent. The downvote bar just proves the commonly known fact that youtubers are fucking morons.

Men die younger not naturally, its because the studies they take on the average life span of a male is from obviously previous generations , generations who on the whole , the man goes to work retires later has a physical job dies in wars etc where the women stay at home and look after the kids etc, i think you will find in this more equal world where men and women do whatever job they want and arent forced into 'roles' the life span will balance out

Anecdotes re: heart disease: guy in mid-forties with no history is warming up at his kid's soccer practice. He runs down the field and into a wall. He was dead 20 feet before he got there legs just kept going. Guy in his mid-fifties, lean and athletic, gets out of his car and falls down - dead before he hit the ground. Guy with a history dies, early fifties. His cardiologist reviews the autopsy, says he could have been layed out preped for surgery when it happened and still couldn't help.

@teniguafez I never said it was okay! Did you not read the second half of my comment? And i don't know what you mean by that very odd statistic or where you got it from or how it relates to the cause of feminism in anyway and seeing as even if that is true, it's not widely known so I don't think it bares any relation to the objectification of women. If your going to attack feminism can you try and relate your points to the topic clearly? YES there are men's issues, nobodies saying there aren't.
