Joe Rogan talks about gender difference with a Harvard professor who's written a book about testosterone.

That was fun, and kind of hilarious. Especially when Rogan was getting amped up just talking about the radical difference between men and women, and the Professor responded by starting to cry. It was...a classic example of our differences. Also loved her describing her husband as emotionless. Or that he simply does not express emotion. My thought: He's British. Duh.

Good clip, though. I'm glad they can agree that there is a difference. The bizarre thing is how many in academia are demanding that we look at the genders and behavior as the same, and that men should act more like women. It's been experimented on one generation so far with horrible results. Hell...the current generation of young men are even producing less sperm and fewer motile sperm than previous generations. Many scientists thinks its due to chemicals, and it may be. I suspect there's another component. Maybe the radical feminists program is working.

But boy...they'll miss us when we're gone.

The discussion goes on for 3 hours. I'm up to the last half hour.

I can tell you that she interviews him a lot, and HE ends up crying!

One of the snapping-turtle responders here. First, I like the curated comments on your blog better: nice improvement.

Second, that interview with the Harvard chick made me think of your famous Althouse rule.

We men have heard for a while that things would go better for us, if only we could get in touch with our emotions better and be more communicative.

In other words, if we could only act like women we’d be better people!

Keep up the good work on one of the best blogs around,

Tom

It took me a few seconds to remember what "the Althouse rule" is. Ha ha. It's whatever is found to be true of women will be presented as good.

By the way, in the video, the woman does say that she used to think she wanted to make her husband more like her, but she's moved beyond that to more of a vive la difference attitude. (I'm paraphrasing.)

This resonates with me as my neighbor across the street and I (both retires, both worked with kids) were discussing just this afternoon how many young men are committing suicide these days compared to when we were that age. We both know of several. A generation ago, it was pretty rare. I believe Temujin is on to something. I would also add that to obfuscate the biological impacts of testosterone is to deny science.
