Intersexual Conflict: Overstating the case to make the case?
–“There is no burden of performance on female competence, which is why women get away with saying ****** ****, which is why no one gives a **** what y’all think.”– F&F Miami August 2, 2023 (ouch.)

(Note that F&F has been recently demonetized by YT. There is an organized effort to purge social media prior to the election cycle, just as there was leading up to the last, and after, as I’d warned. Somehow the organization (conspiracy) of attempts to silence public debate has not ended up in the courts as a class action. I assume this legal correction will occur in the next two to five years.)

Though, AFAIK, this criticism by F&F is largely directed at younger women. And so I think all of this overstates the case, and it’s only the present young generations are most devoid of competence and especially responsibility.

In the scientific literature, the phrase is “Both men and women coddle women”. And the less sanitized version is “Men don’t take women outside their sphere of responsibility seriously”.

Why do we behave this way? Well, women (least when fertile) have intrinsic value, but men must demonstrate value. The burden of performance is entirely male. Although it doesn’t tell us why either sex continues to demonstrate this behavior.

My understanding both from the literature and from running large organizations is that neither sex takes women’s speech seriously outside of their direct sphere of control. Or, more generally, we tend to listen carefully to women on the empirical (what they observe) and to men on the theoretical (what they predict).

The same is true in all areas of performance: we see smart women in the empirical and practical but the theoretical and innovative is entirely the domain of men. Why? verbal, pictoral, empathizing, and juggling many, vs spatial-temporal, systematizing, and predicting fields of outcomes. That’s the cognitive difference between the sexes and it’s obvious in the organization of neural connectivity in our brains.

But:
Women have been able to capture the majority of white-collar clerical jobs and are financially secure at a younger age than their male counterparts. So the intersexual market asymmetry is profound.

IMO many to the majority of these jobs are about to vaporize, because these are the next layer of jobs to be replaced by technology. While repatriation of industry, beginning with strategic and increasing to most, will rebalance this sex difference over the next decade.

However, at present rates of marriage and reproduction that means that there will be no workers to pay for their retirement, health care, or even keep prices down.

Destroying the family wasn’t a very good idea. 🙁
