Good question. I’m female with thin short straight lashes. The longest, thickest lashes I’ve ever seen have belonged to men.

@@spiritmatter1553 same. Maybe it's the same mechanism that made men stop wearing heels and making them a "female" thing (minus the actualy biological part-

@@spiritmatter1553 exactly.. now i have pretty big lashes myself because of genetics.. but i must agree the longest lashes i've ever seen were on a Turkish boy i used to go to school with.. he had these very thick long lashes. so it defenitely puzzles me why when someone tells me oh you defenitely look female in the face it's always about the lashes (i'm nonbinary) like there are many men with long lashes so it really means nothing

My first guess is that dark eyelashes make the eyes appear bigger and that's a female characteristic / characteristic of youth.

It’s not always good to have unique eyes for some reason when I was in highschool girls said that my eyes made them want to cry only they didn’t know why. To this day I still don’t know the reason. My eyes are a mix between blue and green people always tell me it’s hazel so I just go by that term

Finally! A comment that does me justice!

I love women with a nice big set of carrying angles

@@Spit823 I was getting OMT by my Ehlers-Danlos doc on my head and neck last week, and towards the end, he pulled on my ears to help release the pressure on my eustachian tubes from my TMJ and Bruxism. After I asked him if he had ever watched Archer, he said he loved the show. I flopped my arms down over the table and said, "Conway, THAT WAS AMAZING!" My doc proceeded to choke on his spit. Then thanked me for the best response.

@@dieZauberfloete Hahaha!! If we were both single!

@@dieZauberfloete Same.

SAME! I always feel self conscious when doing bicep curls because, to me, I look like I’m holding the weights stupidly and can’t do a bicep curl properly lol. This video made me feel a lot better haha. Also, I had the exact same thought when I saw the bodies laying about 😂

I never even noticed the background to be honest. Now I can't stop looking at it.

I tried working out with my ex once and when we got to doing push-ups he noticed my elbows extended outwards when I pushed myself up and he said it does that because I don’t have enough muscles in my arms to keep it straight 💀💀💀

@@azaliahangulo well we can understand why he's an ex.

Now I'm wondering if the high school pull-up bar should have had something like a 20-degree angle to make it fair. I guess it should have a variable angle depending on the height/carrying-angle of the user actually.

I have the issue of doing push ups with these arms. My elbows seem to lock easily in the above position with push ups. So I have to push so hard to unlock my elbows I fall.

😂 It's ok, we can all find other weird things about ourselves!

Can’t speak for other men, but for me it doesn’t matter at all.

It's totally ok! With my Ehlers-Danlos, mine actually go in both directions. With sound, and when I do not want.

I have straight elbows too, and wide hips. My hips don´t get in the way when walking, by the way. As far as I can tell

Compensate by being more weird

Very rare sir lol

Are you short?

Calicos are awesome, so you are too. ;)

Same here. I'm a man who also haves that

LOL i think they were just weird

Retail brings out the beasts for sure!

You have arms!!!

Same. Took too many decades to figure this out, though. Well explained.

Same. I have HS and it freaks out my trainers when they see me lockout my elbows as they bend inward.

Proprioception has nothing to do with how extended your body is. It is LITERALLY about where your limbs are in space, not about their physical impact on each other.

I was wondering if I would find any other hEDSers here! As a kid I would say I was triple jointed as I extended beyond standard double jointedness.

I have hEDS (diagnosed) as well as my middle child (son now 22 also diagnosed). To top that off I have Chiari Malformation plus a history of more minor issues. I would love to see an episode about hEDS and also Chiari; maybe a combo of having both. I have decided to donate my body to science when I pass but not sure how to go about it. As in, do I have to register somewhere or just have it stated in a Will. I figured with all my medical issues, donating my body to science might be helpful in studying these more “rare” or less known conditions.

@@ThePinkBinks I came here to comment that I'm also a part of this tribe, then I fell off the chair laughing at your comment

I'll join! 5 feet tall on a good day. My family says I have T-rex arms.

Yep, most women are definitely optimized to carry things. I enjoy having wide hips - if I'm carrying something heavy like shopping bags that I can't just balance on the "shelf" of my hips like I usually do, I instead brace my elbow on my hips, which distributes the weight from my arms to my legs. I can also use my hip "shelves" as armrests when I'm sitting down.

evolution said "women be shopping"

@@rascalflattsfanpage Well, plucking fruits and berries of just shopping from nature...

@@ariadne0w1 Optimized for carrying unless a guy is around... just saying.

@ maybe its to carry babies

Right! Carrying buckets of water from a well for a long distance would be a good example.

Interestingly, as a female (with hyperextending elbows) when I'm carrying something heavy like a bucket, I actually have the tendency to tuck my elbow right into my waist so that I can transfer some of the weight down into my hips. Sort of like the prototypical carrying-baby-on-hip pose, but resting my elbow there. No idea if this is bad on my joints or anything, or how this might work differently for different carrying angles.

@@ekuu8918 Yes! As a shorter woman, I'll also do that when I'm carrying something to prevent it from hitting/dragging on the ground

dainty

The reason visual is sometimes passed on over what is useful is because visual has a higher chance to attract a mate. In male lions a large mane is attractive to lionesses but he has a higher chance to over heat. A human female as visible breast but an increased chance of cancer. However these attributes increase the chance of mating.

I have MASSIVELY weird elbows 😵‍💫. Any time someone sees them, I get asked, “what’s wrong with your elbows?!” They have a really obvious angle to them, where all my yoga instructors and physiotherapists have been fascinated by them! 🤔. They actually look like they’re popping out of their sockets. I’m 5’7” so not on the short side but my arms and legs are also really long and because of that, can easily do most yoga poses. 🧘🏻‍♀️ I guess I’m just a really odd specimen! 😵‍💫

So this is a slightly misleading title. It's not that women have weird elbows, it's that short people have weird elbows

@@LittleDergon well, women are usually shorter than men

I don't think hyperextended elbows have anything to do with your flexibility and the ability to reach your back...

@@alejandroperez5368 They might have hypermobility. Joints bend more than they really should and, depending how far, can enter the uncanny valley.

Oh my gosh lmao my sister did that too

It has a higher chance to break yes

I have it too😄...my friends ask me did ever before my bones were broken.

You're describing hypermobile elbows, not the carrying angle

Yes, that would be interesting. I've been paying attention to pronation vs. supination in my group of friends, after I noticed that 1. my chronic shoulder/neck/upper back ache was improved by externally rotating my arms (very supinated) 2. a couple of my friends walk with their palms completely facing behind them (very pronated) We are of similar heights- and arm lengths, for that matter- but they're males and I'm female. I was wondering if it was a matter of keeping shoulders back for good posture vs. slouching (they both have bad posture) or maybe something women adopt to help support the extra weight we have on the front of our bodies. Or possibly accentuate that area, if they're isn't much there to support, haha

Not height related at all in my observation. I'm 5,5" and my wife and teenage daughter are both 5,1". My daughters best friend is 5,5" and they all 3 have weird snapped over extended elbows. My elbows are very straight and closer to my body than my buddies who are 5,10" to 6,4". I was really hoping to find out the reason because I always freak out when my daughter dangles her arm and it's bending in the WRONG direction.

​@@Jiraiyashouse666 maybe that person has hypermobility too? What you described sounds like my elbows... Bending in the "wrong direction"

I don't blame you. elbows like yours are a manifestation of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder. That professor was being discriminatory by separating you and point out a symptom of a disability, whether they knew it at the time or not. gentle hugs to you, dearest introvert ❤

Same thing here...hexalso displayed my fingers that bend backwards. I tried sitting further back in theclecture hall! Lol

@@joywebster2678 Have you ever been checked for Ehlers-Danlos syndrome if you dislocate your joints often? Overextending elbows and fingers that bend backward that give your hand a natural curve backward (it's called crane hands iirc because it kinda looks like a bird in flight) and being able to bend them extremely far back when pulling can be symptoms of it if you've got a lot of health problems (unexplained or not, it's misdiagnosed a lot).

@@chelychan4863 why can't people just be normal and genuine without someone being an asshole to them cuz they think theyre being too corny or whatever

My elbows also make that "crunching" noise. It's probably BECAUSE you're moving them past the normal range of motion - the tendons/ligaments (?) have to shift a little to accommodate, and that makes noise and moves tiny pockets of air around. Kind of like the sound created when you pop your knuckles.

I m 1m84 (male from france) and have those weird elbow to ^^"

Im a 5 9 female so Im taller than the average male, have really long arms and I have these elbows. Ive had them my whole life too. My family always just assumed I was double jointed since Im very boney especially in all my joints and have double joints in my thumbs too. Ive also never seen anyone else with hyperextending elbows like mine or as intense as mine, whenever Ive shown people they are always shocked because it looks like im bending my elbows backwards. I also feel like there might be more to this then just being a secondary sex characteristic

Yes, genetics or hyper mobility disorders can cause this over extension as shown in the thumbnail. This guy decided to over simplify things for the sake of a video rather than study all the reasons this might happen or discuss differential diagnoses.

I came down here to see if someone already said this. I've been doing this my whole life. When he said carrying angle that was what I thought it was named for but he didn't even talk about it.

Haha yes that's me

"The other advantage to having this angle/flexibility in the elbow is when holding a newborn. Easier to cradle further under the base of the head while holding the infant in the horizontal position. It's really important to support the baby's head in the first 3 or so months...they have very little neck muscle strength to support their head until they are older." Yep, that's clearly why the trait has evolved in most women. I'm surprised this wasn't mentioned in the video!

@@theblakemontgomery3728 Yea, a bit weak. He didn't want to face the blow-back from the genderps. "Search for Jehovah while he may yet be found." - bible

I thought for sure there would be a mention about carrying babies-either cradled or on the hip when they’re older. Glad to see I’m not the only one who thought it.

@@KennethD000 I had to pause the video and say, "Hey Babe! (pretended to kick door open and said so) check out these *ELBOWS!* BOOYASHAKA!"

It is a sign of hypermobility, i have it 2 but in multiple joints.

my female hyper-mobile friend had elbows like this

It has to be since I know guys that have it.

I think it's more likely in women, but it's also definitely a sign of hypermobility - a hypermobile girl

That seems right. I have such elbows too, but I am not short and my forearms are quite long. But I am flexible by nature, and also can bend my fingers to a great degree.

Not height related at all in my observation. I'm 5,5" and my wife and teenage daughter are both 5,1". My daughters best friend is 5,5" and they all 3 have weird snapped over extended elbows.

Look into Marfan’s or Loeys Dietz, these are conditions that come with the traits you mention. Worth going to the doctor about because they can cause serious vascular and heart complications.

Short female, and i do this too. Especially when hauling all those grocery bags in one go. 😄

@@Koorime18 yes! It works great for that!

Same. Never thought about it until now. 🤔

it helps to hold the bags away but it also puts so much strain on your elbows and they get sore right?

Is this really not a common way to carry things? lol Short curvy woman here (I'm also fat now, but am curvy regardless of weight) & it never occured to me that people carried bags any other way! My daughter carries this way too, but now I dunno if it's due to ECA or because, learned behavior. *Now* I'm gonna be staring at people carrying bags to see how the rest of the world does it. Thanks, Institute of Human Anatomy! 😜

@@theanatomylab yes... those flexy bendy people 🤔

@@theanatomylab Yes that would be great! I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos syndrome. Maybe you can mention this too in a video? It's so unknown to many people and so often missed by doctors. So it even might help people get the right diagnosis.

@@RuchamaGrace Same reason I keep hoping for hypermobility coverage with the inclusion of significant diagnoses related to hypermobility!

183 cm with excessive carrying angle reporting in. +1 datapoint good sir

What if a male of average height has shorter-than-average arm length? I wonder if he'd be more or less likely to have ECA...

Oooo I'm curious if that correlation exists, now!

This is a really good point, and possibly not in the studies Justin mentioned. As a data point, I'm a 4'9" female aged 69, and I just tried it in a mirror and I appear to have a similar carrying angle to Justin's.

5'8'' female with no carrying angle. My arms can remain straight however they face. In my teens, I did dance and contortion. I'm thinking that is the cause rather than hormones. My other secondary sex characteristics and personality are both feminine.

I am a male, have the elbows and do jiujitsu. I get told everytime I defend an armbar, that I have weird elbows.

@@andrewd1763 😂 man I would love these elbows!

You may think it's great but its a sign of hypermobility! These kind of bendy joints can get damaged easily. Many people who have this have joints popping out of the sockets. Its called EDS. Ehlers danlos syndrome. And gut problems go with it too!

@@sarahb.6475 I wouldn't say "many". most people who have hypermobility don't have negative side effects, a minority has issues like pain and more common injuries and EDS is even rarer. EDS totally sucks but having wierd elbows doesn't have to mean much more than just wierd elbows.

Yup, it's a good advantage but you have to be careful still. If I can't escape I know they have good armbar technique, otherwise it's easy to slip out.

Yeah, it's kinda weird how the scientific community "others" us. Although maybe in this contexts he said women have weird elbows because he is speaking from the perspective of a singular male.

alright time for critical thinking. This mutation occurs in functionally zero men. It occurs in a non zero number of women, leaving a non zero number without. If you sum up the male and female numbers on having the mutation vs not the "default" across the species would be the elbow seen in men, thus making the mutation aberrant or "weird". Don't be so quick to sprint to the oppression olympics

@@anguishedcarpet I wasn't implying oppression. I said scientists are weird. And I think you're misunderstanding. This isn't a mutation. That's why it's weird to call women the weird ones, in this case. Think of it like this. Why do you assume the 'default' elbow is one without a large carrying angle, rather than one with? Because clearly you do, since you think the large carrying angle is the mutation, rather than the small one. Almost every woman has a carrying angle like this, it's something I've noticed as an artist, so I know it's not a mutation... simply because there are as many men WITH a carrying angle like this as there are women without, in my experience. There's a reason artists always draw women with a large carrying angle and men without. It's because it's not an abnormality or an exception, it's essentially the rule. There's no reason why either elbows should be considered weird, let alone women's. The only reason they are considered weird is, news flash, NOT because of oppression olympics- but because of sub-conscious ways of thinking. When you think of a human, you usually think of a man. Doesn't mean you're sexist, it's just a sub-conscious thing. And this especially applies if you are a man yourself, which if I recall right, most people in the medical field are. So it's no wonder that upon seeing the shape of women's elbows, scientists might get confused and view it as 'weird' or a mutation, like you. Truth is, it just seems to be in the same situation as breasts. It's not an abnormality in any way, it's just how human females are. I only called scientists weird because they tend to forget to factor in things like these sub-conscious thoughts, and it leads to weird situations like these. Remember. Not everyone who mentions women being treated differently is automatically trying to educate you about why women have it so awful in the world and how everything sucks. Sometimes they're just pointing out a fact. Sometimes, that fact may even involve oppression, and you shouldn't get angry in the case that it does, if it truly is a fact. Not an opinion, you can argue about that. But if it's a FACT. Anyways.. Other times, it just... doesn't involve oppression. At all. Everyone and everything is treated differently. And it can be interesting or useful to point it out. Men are treated differently too. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Use critical thinking to evaluate the situation before sprinting to the anti-oppression olympics.

Maybe he's trying to not be offensive while talking about a part of a woman's body that he finds weird.

@Cat Poke I actually had an elbow that I thought was weird. I can basically squeedgy it. Also move back and forth. It wasn't until now i thought it was special. Meh, it's all good. But that fellow sucks.
