Hes making a comten

So many simple YESes of yesteryear have since been proven to have been reductive to the point of being functionally incorrect. Biolgy is quite complex.

Of course

Emilius the word you’re looking for is “cited”. Citated is not a word.

Just admit that you're butthurt because your view that man are superior to women has taken a knock. Why is it that it's always men in the comment sections of these types of videos?

JSkillz it's not about superiority complex. It's about morons saying there's no difference between women and men.

JSkillz “when the debate is lost, slander becomes the tool of the loser”

@@futurez12 It's 100% fair to want evidence behind any claim. It doesn't mean you're butthurt just because you want to be able to see the studies yourself instead of blindly believing in someone. Its a good code to have for most all things.

What's the point with hormones? Isn't this video supposed to be about differences solely in the brain itself, as the title states?

💯💯💯 the hormones are a huge reason why we think different

@@kosovankosov5207hormones are what affect our thoughts, mood, emotions and feelings For example a diabetic can find it difficult to control their thoughts, especially emotions when their blood sugar is off. That’s bcuz blood sugar affects the thyroid. Thyroid is considered the brain or mother of all the other glands INCLUDING the glands within the brain. A diabetic can curse people out and get out of control but they won’t be conscious of it or why they’re having that feeling

@@kosovankosov5207when someone smokes pot, drinks liquor, eats food, gets aroused, has an orgasm, smokes a cigarette…. It’s the hormones that change and send signals to the brain and other glands of the body

@@kosovankosov5207the hormones are of great importance when it comes to thoughts ESPECIALLY mental health

what about gay men?

@@shinobudev True)

@@shinobudev link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs10508-016-0768-5 "Untreated MtFs and FtMs who have an early onset of their gender dysphoria and are sexually oriented to persons of their natal sex show a distinctive brain morphology, reflecting a brain phenotype. These phenotypes are different from those of heterosexual males or females; the differences affect the right hemisphere and cortical structures underlying body perception. The genesis of these phenotypes might be caused by atypical effects of sex hormones or their metabolites in specific cortical regions of MtFs and FtMs. These effects of hormones on the cortex suggest the hypothesis that brain differences between homosexual MtFs and FtMs and male and female controls are due to differences in the development of the cortex; this hypothesis would imply that the thinning process undergone by some regions of the cortex is timed differently in each phenotype. The review of the available data seems to support two existing hypotheses: (1) a brain-restricted intersexuality in homosexual MtFs and FtMs and (2) Blanchard’s insight on the existence of two brain phenotypes that differentiate “homosexual” and “nonhomosexual” MtFs. The studies on the effects of cross-sex hormone treatment on the brain of MtFs and FtMs consistently indicate dramatic effects on the gray and white matter after short- to medium-term treatments but the long-term effects on the brain require evaluation. Finally, the postmortem studies should be interpreted in light of these in vivo findings as well as of their underlying mechanisms."

I was about the mention the same things, as it does feel like this video tries very hard to ignore the range of physical differences in a brain in an XX or XY individual. The way a brain functions is a byproduct of its configuration and that configuration is mostly a byproduct of the genetic roadmap you start with. What the video should have stressed was not that a binary definition of a "male" or "female" brain is an outdated framework, but rather that there are ways to determine how male or female you brain is configured and what effect that has on how the brain functions with the same stimulus, resulting in a predictably more male or more female response pattern.

Why would he? He literally said gender is fluid. :s

Johnny Lindblom He said that people claim gender is fluid

@@GenuinelyJake TRIGGERED

Male and female brains are different. But the differences observed are not significant enough have consistent substantial in psychology and behaviorial effects . And unfortunately not big enough to have a serious conversation over.

@@sylvesteruchia5263 I think the answer lies somewhere in between.

Michael Steffensen The words 'gender' and 'sex' have always meant the same thing until the 80s. Sjws, feminists, etc feed off the change to push this agenda. Just don't have kids in this era and you'll be fine.

Realizing there are biological differences between male and female brains is COMPLETELY different to expecting someone to act a particular way or to be good or bad at certain things just because of their sex. Like people expecting women to be less logical, worse under pressure and bad at leadership and expecting men to be unemotional is completely false and irrational. Also as for transgenders, their brains have been proven to be wired like that of the opposite sex, so yes, transgenders are real.

Know someone who is transgender, and she was born with a penis, but was also born with a woman's mind. When doctors scanned her brain, they found it to resemble a woman's brain.

Tiffany Placencia Yeah, sure.

Tiffany... statistical thinking vs. anecdotal thinking. This is the difference between science and the rest. You are the pure example of an antiscientific way of reasoning.

To be honest, you come across as a bit of a snowflake, since you actually have to deny science that isn't in line with your superiority complex..

Found the feminist. WOAH. See how ad hominem solves nothing? Bring facts to the table if you want to debate.

Embla Notits McGee lol where did that come from

GenuinelyJake Did you watch the video?

Embla Notits McGee well the science is clear, even though there is a difference in size and regions, yet we should just ignore that because our configurations are different, well no shit Sherlock! Its still about the the basic differences between the sexes. You wont say that the difference between a man and a woman's height is due to social norm, then why would you push ṭhaṭ nonsense when it comes to the the height, weight and density of certain regions in the brain? This vid provided no information in terms of biology or morphology, but just gave us a gender studies class.

Yes.. literally this is the truth it's the hormones not brains

What is wrong about this video ?? Do you have some Facts???

Anna Chriss Lo men and women are generally different

@bdrmongoose78 nah men are 2x stronger

People never do research when they bring up this topic, because there is no research to refer to, lolz.

Daniel Steel i think he means on average, so if i gave a scientist 2 brains he would probably could not tell, but if i gave him a bunch of brains he could assume the gender based on percentage (using volume) with a large accuracy, i would assume

He was saying that there are general differences, when you look at a large sample size, but the individual can have a varied amount of “female” and “male” traits simultaneously and generalities may not always work

Bryony

His anus.

Well, I guess we had for a long time very specific gender roles too, but with modern technology and contraceptives and all such things we are currently at the stage of overcoming the traditional gender roles. Still, I would say that many parents feel the need to be overly protective towards their daughters while encouraging the sons to discover the world leads to boys having more spatial awereness than girls. Of course there is also the possibility that we have breed for so long that males have to take risks while females have to be safe that this is now inherently part of our species, even though it is no longer needed to secure our species.

Fun fact: our closest relatives in the animal kingdom are bonobos. They actually have a matriarchal social structure lolz. Also, hunter and gatherer societies had some division of roles between men and women (based on physical attributes) but were very egalitarian. Men and women played equal part in making decisions and both fulfilled leadership roles.

There's a good hypothesis that human intelligence itself is simply a byproduct of Fisherian runaway sexual selection. Peacocks have bright tail feathers and humans have intelligence.

while most of that article makes sense, you cannot base occupational preferences on sex, that has more to do with societal conditioning.

It's Me what do you call chromosomes? Are they pseudoscience?

Atomic Reverend Alexander actually, you can have a two X chromosomes and still present male as long as a specific gene(I forget the name right now) usually found on the Y chromosome is on one of the X chromosomes. Similarly, an XY individual can present as female because that particular gene is missing from the Y chromosome. An XY individual could also be born with a defect that prevents certain hormones from affecting them, leading to a female form. There are also individuals who are born with combinations like XXY or XYY or even just X - none of which fit the binary and can lead to differing physical presentations

The "Mosaic Brain" he mentioned is a concept known through the use with poor scientific methodology. "The validity of this method is questionable on several grounds. To begin with, the method capitalizes on chance by selecting the variables with the largest effect sizes. It also discards most of the information in those variables by reducing them to three categories, a problematic and potentially misleading practice (e.g., Altman & Royston, 2006; MacCallum, Zhang, Preacher, & Rucker, 2002). Most importantly, the method employs an unrealistically strict criterion for “internal consistency” coupled with a lax criterion for “substantial variability.” As an example, consider a fictional male-Max-who is rated on a number of sex-typical preferences for leisure activities: boxing, construction, playing golf, scrapbooking, using cosmetics, and playing video games (see the supplementary material in Joel et al., 2015, p. 8). Max has no interest in scrapbooking or cosmetics but is passionate about boxing, golf, and construction; however, he does not like video games. By the standards of Joel et al.’s method, this profile would be classified as “substantially variable” and presented as evidence that Max shows a “mosaic” of male-typical and female-typical features." www.pnas.org/content/pnas/113/14/E1965.full.pdf Science Shows Sex Is Binary, Not a Spectrum www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2018/10/31/science_shows_sex_is_binary_not_a_spectrum_138506.html You can check Debrah Soh, who is a neuroscientist, in a video explaining how Sex is Binary here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aqiDlZxjtL-lYJs.html Good luck.

@@bradlee4402 thank you a lot. Is there a way to synthesize this information in a way that it can be shared without people calling me sexist?

Lol no..I know plenty of competitive women ....can everyone stop generalizing this is how sexism carries on... EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT

qwertyo76 because it's the KZfaq comments

qwertyo76 because some people does not like when you're respectful to some groups...

Because he discusses PC concepts at the *expense* of a frank discussion of our scientific knowledge. The concept of not being able to tell the difference between a male and female brain and gender fluidity speak to these PC concepts, but hurt our honest discussion of the actual science. We expected better from a science video.

"We all start out as female" - No: if you are male then you were never ACTUALLY female; your sexually undifferentiated body may have superficially resembled a female and shared some developmental pathways (via-vi the male nipple), however you never ACTUALLY had the chromosomal arrangement of a female and hence were never ACTUALLY female.

There is something I am curious about. Even if brains differ between the sexes, could practices, training, neuroplasticity, etc. help change brain structure? For instance, assuming that women have certain mental weaknesses (spatial, assertiveness, etc.), can they iron them out in preparation for a job such as STEM or leadership? I feel that even as a guy myself, I want individuals to be able to persue their dreams. If they have weaknesses, even if genetic, I wish for a possibility for them to be reduced or eliminated so they can achieve what they want.

Long answer, no.

Exactly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

No, the gendered brain is a myth. Women and Men behave differently and expect different things only out of social conditioning. Nobody talks about this

@@arya8214 There literally exist books in neuroscience where the authors mention evidence that male and female brains on average give men and women different advantages in different things. Two classic examples are that the male brain is slightly better at visualising 3D objects, which is believed to give them an advantage in math, whereas women are believed to have an advantage in learning languages. In fact, the Swedish neuroscientist Markus Heilig mentions thesw exact things in his book "Hon, Han Och Hjärnan" ("Her, Him And The Brain"), and she it fully supported in basically everything he says by the female neuroscientist Katarina Gospic. Those guys were even interviewed on this exact subject in the television program "Malou Efter Tio" in Sweden a couple years ago, and you can find that exact interview here on KZfaq by searching for those names.

@@Peter_1986 read "Delusions of Gender" by Cordilia Fine

​@@arya8214 what you are saying has been debunked several times. Brain differences are seen in the womb and in animals.

@@shalyfemusic What I want to know is that even if we do have brain differences, could they be leveled out through training? For instance, with women apparently not being as good with things like spatial awareness and reaction times, could they train themselves to be as capable with men (same thing with the men wanting to have the mental strengths of women)? The reason why I think it would be good to have the option to train out weaknesses is so if a person of one sex wants to take up an occupation/hobby that could otherwise be demanding, they can work out their kinks and achieve their goals.

Just a reminder, many animals don't mate for life. After mating, they take off with the females raising the young while fending for themselves while the males just do their thing. Granted, there are species that mate for life but they do have varying dynamics. Wolves that pair up would initially have the fenale stay for some time nursing the pups while the male hunts but it's not uncommon for the pair to take turns in watching over thr young while the other hunts. And this is not even getting into other available pack members. Penguin that pair share about the same roles, complete with the male incubating the egg while the female hunts before they take turns in raising the chick and hunting. For lions, a pride has one male who mates with many females. The male doesn't directly involve raising the cubs like the females do and either just lays there or is off hunting with a few females. My point is that animals have varying dynamics with how they work together, with many splitting up, some having about equal roles, some having different behaviors, etc.

women are forced to be good at multi tasking, they're the ones who take care of the household and kids and plan family vacations and have to remember their husband's doctor's appointments, whereas men just go to work and play video games so they get good at navigating

Hormones and instincts

Erik Solligard Remember school results are greatly influenced by culture and thus expected gender roles.

Bullshit. Cultural norms don't involved the expected gender role of females doing bad in school.

Balázs Suhajda funny because modern schools are geared towards female learning methods.
