2019-12-30 13:59:54 +0000 UTCExcellent video. Greast job, Alexander. Also I learn to really love the discussions here. Ah...and I think Margaret is not real but just some alter ego of Alexander :D The point made about female reproductive advantage not being a privilege is really interesting and well put. I think a weak point of this video here is that the term privilege is not well defined. It often is a feminist argument that the additional physical strength of men is a male privilege as it allows them to walk the streets carefree at night, be more assertive in discussions etc. When discussing male/female privileges it should be clarified if that extends to privileges given by nature. I would argue that feminists use it that way when discussing male privileges. So I think it is fair for Alexander to do so as well. On that note: I think any privilege/advantage of one sex, can almost always be expressed as a disadvantage of the same sex and vice versa. The fact that men have more physical strength actually puts them at a great disadvantage when compared to women in other places. Try hitchhiking as a men alone or interacting with strangers, asking strangers for accomodation when travling etc. Because of their lack of physical strength, women have it much easer to be trusted and helped. It is fair to ask, where exactly the advantage is for women in being more successful at procreation. If I would have a higher chance of passing on my genes than another group, it would not feel like an advantage to me as for my existance it actually doesnt matter if I pass on my genes or not. People do not procreate because they want to know that their genes remain in the human gene pool. Procreation is the result of human needs, such as survival, companionship, sex, social integration, etc. So pointing at the result of that is not a strong argument for female privilege. This is what I find so fascinating about the data presented in the video. It merely hints at the fact that there must be some female privilege, because we know procreation is at the core of what human existance is about (from a purely biological perspective). I think the video could have done a better job at connecting this study with ACTUAL femal privileges. The data presented can be used well to derive a couple of which some are well known: - It is much easier for a women to create (and be part of) a family if she wants to - Given that there is a correlation between having sex and procreating, the data shows that women have it easier to have sex - Since it is easier for women to procreate, it can be concluded that for women, there is significantly less intra-sexual competition for mating partners. Women have to spend much less time and energy in competing for mating partners than men.

2019-12-29 19:21:23 +0000 UTCYes, a relevant topic and I can add that in our country, women are also more privileged than men.

2019-12-27 21:21:49 +0000 UTCI agree with this. At the same time, the physical and psychological toll of men's loneliness and depression is morbidity and mortality, which is obviously much more serious. Personally I developed chronic insomnia and prediabetes (went rampage on chocolate when I felt helpless) as a result of feeling too goddamn lonely, which isn't all the fault of women let's be clear, but still. It would be nice if women would have more compassion for men by realizing this.

2019-12-27 21:03:06 +0000 UTCI agree, Margaret. I think you point out the problem with the word 'privilege.' It's like saying men have privilege because they have greater upper body strength. Thank God for privilege lest our species would have been wiped out by the Neanderthals. Evolution doesn't care about fairness.

2019-12-27 19:37:58 +0000 UTCContext is everything. Biological value is not the same as privilege. Yes, women can mate more easily, but that does come with costs, risks. The physical and psychological toll of even a single textbook 'healthy' pregnancy and delivery is higher than most men can really comprehend. Not saying it isn't worth is (I have 4 kids, and they're amazing) but it's very misleading to take these facts and call this 'privilege'. After all... survival of the species is based on biological programming. And biology rarely cares about individual wants/needs/feelings/dreams.
