SEX DIFFERENCES DISCUSSIONS ARE SILLY FOR OBVIOUS REASONS
This is silly. We keep trying to frame sex differences in the context of economic productivity and political influence, instead of why the sexes evolved as the do. Women need to mature enough to reproduce quickly and to extend their nervous systems by hyper empathizing to account for the challenge of mentally observing, caring for, and regulating the minds, behavior, and development of thier offspring and to do so by the spectrum of ‘seductive’ care taking and emotional regulation.
The males (who are unfortunately, more disposable, and replacable) have to instead, mentally track the condition of territory, resources, and assets that must be systematically understood because it’s partly beyond their perception. This is the opposite need of the female.
So, women mature earleir and LESS than men, who mature later and more. But what does later and MORE mean? It means instead of empathizing with what’s in front of you IN-TIME, men systematize what’s NOT in front of the OVER-TIME. So the sex differences effectively result in a division of labor in time given sex roles. This plays out as women favor attention and consumption and externalization of resonsibility (for status) and men favor accumulation of capital and responsibility for it (for status) and status is just the measure of the discount on opportunities for cooperation, and cooperation is a discount on time, whether in-time(short term) or over-time(long term).
Now, what I suppose my work has taught me, is that all human developmental behavior occurs because of minor – very minor – bias in biochemistry, neurological composition, and most importantly neurological organization (what connects to what and how much).
So, it’s perhaps easier for me to understand and explain sex differences in development and maturity because I understand the (very simple) set of rules that cause sex differences and variation between us in addition to those sex differences.
At present we’re writing this section of the book, but somehow I feel it’s not as good as my courseware becasue there in slides I can use graphics, illustrations, diagrams, and videos.
But really, In my foundations and methods work, I try to list ‘dimensions’ which are the ‘levers’ that cause variation between us. And the variation between the sexes is just a few of those ‘levers or knobs’ and our vast diferences in behavior, especially at the extremes, are the product of just variation in those dimensions.
It’s disturbingly simple.
BUT it’s only disturbingly simple if you seek to know what is and why FIRST instead of justify what you want or wish it was.
