What a nice toxically positive statement. Just that it goes completely out the window when a woman decides to mess you up through false accusations, biased divorce and alimony laws. I admire your optimism though.

[@rdlewis3616]

Women are not told about the dangers of marriage and the harm they face from a male partner. We have been sold on the fantasy wedding followed by happily ever after; however, the movies never get to the reality of what comes after the wedding which is the reality that most men want their woman to mold herself around his interests and friends and to forget her aspirations. In fact many men are not comfortable with their wife’s friends or family. It is stressful to have to consistently divide yourself between your husband’s expectations and the expectations of friends, family and work. It is astonishing that more women don’t go off the rails under the stress of taking care of everyone. Any woman who has an attentive and loving partner is extraordinarily lucky because it is a rarity.

[@HashtagAPI8]

“Truth exists independently wether it supports your ideology or not” - this is something we have to keep reminding ourselves and each other about because there is a war on truth and science.

[@paulb7207]

there is this saying in Poland: "Truth is like an a55hole -- everyone has one". Example: there are medical doctors, scientists, dieteticians who claim eating eggs is good for you. And there are medical doctors, scientists and dieteticians who claim it is bad for you. Both camps have a plenty of sciences behind their backs. Plenty of research papers. Like tons. And this is easy topic like, you know, eating freaking eggs. You really think it won't be possible to find a scientist (Dr Robert Sapolsky from Stanford University comes to mind) who is also an evolutionary psychologist and will have exactly opposite opinions? Starting with being Marxist (Dr. Sapolsky is marxist). So... for every scientist stating A is true I can find you a scientist claiinng A is false. And that's the only thing that is true in science. Because, as you noticed, science is part of the ideological wars. Scientist are humans, not only with their own opinions and values that can be opposite from those of their peers, but also, as humans, they can be bought. Research can be bought. Like easily. If you make science your god you are always complacent too, you are hugely manipulated. Money talks. Democratic think tanks pay to scientists well. Republican think tanks pay to scientists well. Corporations pay scientists so well they were able to scientifically state for decades smoking cigarettes is safe. You are not trusting science. You are trusting people with opinions who are very well paid for. By whom is always the most important question. Who pays this guy? A think tank? A podcast producer with certain demographic interested in hearing certain "truths"? Where does his money come from? Dr Gad Saad here is net worh $54 milion!!! 54 milion dollars. Who pays him that is the only question you need to know to understand HIS science. The whole system is corrupt to the core and we need a revolution!

[@PneumaNoose]

13:06 THANK YOU. I went into my work with prisoners for many reasons, one of them being my own experience with severe abuse. I was quite literally enslaved by an older man at 14, and because I’ll never be able to ask my abuser “why?”, I went into prisoner work. I’ve come out the other side understanding human behavior better than I ever have, and I’ve been able to let go of 90% of my anger that’s been holding me back. Wanting to study bad things doesn’t mean you are in favor or support bad things. I get accused of trauma bonding with offenders just because I see them as human beings (because they are). I have matured so much because of my experiences. I even joke about “all my friends are murderers” because I’ve met some wonderful people on the inside. What people don’t realize is these horrible things that happen in society ALL come from everyday humans. A true monster is EXTREMELY rare. There’s only ONE person I had to refuse to work with, but otherwise, I was treated with the utmost respect by those on the inside (including their families). And on that note, they ALL have families, jobs, dreams, regrets, betrayals-just like you. They’re ALL just like you and I, and we’re ALL capable of hurting others. Until we can end the cycle of abuse, the pain will continue, and it is my firm belief that the only way forward for us ALL is through compassion. No one is immune to the human condition. No one.

[@user-lm6ro4ec9v]

Wow!

[@mffmoniz2948]

I had an ex-boyfriend that never bothered to be full time employed like I was. He also would sometimes drink too much and I suspect he did light drugs. Toward the end my respect for him as a human being was long gone and I found myself hitting him sometimes because I knew I could get away with it. He wasn't a mean drunk and he didn't want to end the relationship and go back to his mom's house. Even just on the social aspect being with him was like having a rock keeping you down. Financially it was a disaster. Emotionally he was also a drain, a downer and I would stay longer at work not to go back to him. I ended everything eventually when something finally made me wake up and smell the coffee. But to this day I still remember how easy it was to lift my hand and hit him and feel no guilt. Do I condone violence? Hell, no. I hate the husbands I know who hit my friends. So why did I hit this ex? Cause I could do it with no punishment. Hard realisation to swallow. But that's what it was. I'd get angry and frustrated and a good slap made me feel momentarily better. It's just scarily easy to do bad things. Some of us would never cross that line. But lots of people would.

[@MajICReiki]

So eliminating abusive as well as well meaning yet willfully naive/ignorant parents would prevent majority of abuse. Put surveillance inside of ALL churches, where majority of child SO's BLEND in. Force young adults to take parenting schooling. And refresh testing and requirements every stage of their offsprings development. Separate predatory abuse inclined from the rest of society to live amongst themselves, isolate to a dedicated island , with completely separate internet, networks, banking, media, etc. IDK how do we end the Abuse you mention? Men will Never stop, Abusers will never stop, women will never stop willingly, who are abusers.

That "Moral Compass" that some people would follow and some won't follow is called "The Ten Commandments", e.g. You shall not Kill, You shall not commit Adultery, etc. The Ten Commandments of God are like the Traffic Lights and Road Signs. Not stopping on Red Lights and not following Road Signs can create Chaos and Accidents on the Road. The same as not following the Ten Commandments of God.

[@eva-mariaroessler3636]

I am scientist working with indigenous people in South America, there are cases of polyandry, that is one woman married to several men. This is in traditional hunter- gatherer societies, where having more than one husband is super practical, as your family simply has more food if more than one man is out to hunt for you. Both polygamy types are parallel present in such cases. In these societies, jealousy is an unvalued feature of male behaviour, as well as male biological paternity is far less relevant, a man raises kids even together with other men, it is irrelevant in such families who the biological dad is. These societies are more rare but they do exist even today. In the case I know more about, the husbands did not have to be brothers. The fact that hunter-gatherer societies are more like to show this pattern, also speaks to evolutionary relevance, since all human societies have been hunter-gatherer tribes at some point in time.

We can see what happens with couples when they get older; often the woman being overworked, overwhelmed, working outside of the home and taking on child bearing, child rearing, cooking, cleaning, washing, housework, shopping and the mental load start hitting the wall. And as a result she begins to resemble his mother rather than his mate. This is when his desire for her starts to wane and then pending infidelity and divorce. I also advise women to not overwork themselves when they can hire help. Also don't marry a man than cannot afford to hire help and only wants Her to take on all of the household load.

[@jontypearcey]

As a 23-year-old male who has been in a committed relationship for two years, I can confidently say that the idea that all men are “dangerous” or “hardwired to cheat” is a massive oversimplification. While there may be some evolutionary factors that influence male behavior, sure. Human actions in relationships are shaped by a much more complex blend of biology, psychology, social norms, and personal experiences. In my case, I have no intention of ever betraying or leaving my partner. This is my third serious relationship, so I’m not just viewing things through the lens of a “honeymoon phase” - I’ve experienced heartbreak before and know what it’s like to be in different stages of love. It’s important to avoid generalisations that paint all men with the same brush, especially since many of us are fully capable of being faithful, respectful, and committed in relationships. Attributing male behavior solely to biology or isolated statistics ignores the impact of culture, personal choice, and individual circumstances. Such stereotypes can distort discussions around gender roles, relationships, and what it means to have healthy behaviors. Human behavior, after all, is far more nuanced than these generalizations suggest.

[@johndoeusa65]

I think it just evens out, woman have more options when they are younger and men when they get older, it doesn't have necessarely to do with a persons "value". There is a perception i observed in many woman that they tend to think that age is a indicator to maturity. Many woman early 20 say that they only date someone 8 or 10 years older than them because they feel that they themselves are very mature for their age, but once you talk to them you realize those are usually the least mature ones. Anyway my dating pool is significantly bigger than it was 10 years ago. When i was 20, no 20 year old girl was interested in me, all my female friends had 5-10 year older Boyfriends. I don't think men are "more valuable" when they get older, but some men are and that has mostly to do with financial aspects. I mean a 40 year old who is faily good looking and is doing very well financially, will always find a woman in her early 20's as most woman value status higher than men. I believe there are numbers that support this theory. But it doesn't mean woman above 40 are less valuable, i have dated a 40 year old single mother when i was 26 for almost 2.5 years and she didn't bring anything "to the table" except good looks and great personality, we had a great time! So it's not black and white but there is some truth to it. If i could chose between someone who is my age or someone 8 years younger, i would definitly chose the younger person as a partner if they are equal in all other aspects.

It was actually worse becuz they were aggressively serious, very rude + persistent. As a very young woman in the late 80s I was groped, grabbed, stopped, yelled at to SMILE, hit-on then called a B for saying no. Hands running up my inner thigh becuz I was walking down subway stairs, hard things pressed up against me on crowded trains, touching, groups of guys talking about which one would come over + grab my butt. It was daily + all I was doing was going to work. So those videos are enraging. Want a GF? Be funny sweet + sincere. And kinda cute in ur own way. That’s The Key.

I was surprised as well. I had a group of all-male "friends" from university (I'm female in an engineering field with few women). I liked them, they were smart, driven and outgoing. I got invited to party with them as if I was one of the boys. After witnessing how they cheated repeatedly on their girlfriends in parties, and how everyone seemed fine with it, I lost all respect and stopped hanging out with them. The last straw was one of them hitting on me drunk when he had introduced me to his girlfriend and future wife barely a few hours before.

Was interested for quite a while even though I didn't agree with everything he said. Lost me when he said Harris was Communist. She's a neo-liberal, pro cop American Democrat. Nothing she's said or done indicates that she wants to nationalize any industry or company, set price or wage controls. The only way in which she might be a Communist is in her continued use of prisons to remove "undesireables" from American Society - and of course, the continued prioritizing of military spending over infrastructure.

[@weil9525]

Love this episode. What makes Steven's podcast so intriguing is that Steven often comes from the perspective of a "student". He invites so-called experts in their perspective field, and he just fires one questions after another. It's Steven's natural "curiosity" that makes his "conversations" so engaging. This feels different when you listen to an expert interviews (or have a conversation) with another expert. I love the "evolutionary" psychology take on why we behave the way we behave/think. Just one observation. Since the last born baby has higher chance to explore ideas, I wonder what the effect is when most parents only have 1 child these days.

I love the bit about modulation and the “beautiful woman” example. It was so so important to add this for context. But let’s be clear. This does play into “me too”.

Now if that’s a universal woman experience, and it’s bothersome, makes us feel unsafe, of course we’re going to take issue with it

I am the oldest of three children from a very poor family -- I had free or reduced lunches (and breakfasts when I lived in NY) for my entire K-12 studies. I am *incredibly* thankful for those "communist" programs that fed me and helped my parents climb out of poverty. I believe in programs like Head Start and SNAP/EBT. I can't ignore the character of a candidate like this guest can, so I'll choose those social programs and the beautiful laughter of an amazing woman, over a convicted felon and rapist who spends his days punching down to people he doesn't like. She says, "Kamala Harris, *for the people*." He says, "ME ME ME ME." I'm honestly not sure how anyone who has a daughter (or a mother, a sister, a wife) can stomach this man, let alone vote for him.

And if you care so much about Democratic policies Keep your doors unlocked in any Democrat run city. They have been In charge for 16 of the last 20 years And what has America come to?

Started off well, with objectivity, data and scientific statistics and devolved into subjective opinion towards the end. I enjoyed it even if I find some of his views questionable or antiquated.

[@bealuhan]

Those were my thoughts exactly. I loved hearing him talk about science, but the longer the podcast went, the more I started to pick apart his biases. It is clear that he does not like Muslims, which is understandable given his background. He thinks he is being "neutral" but what he thinks about them slips through the cracks. I found myself disagreeing more and more with him the more he spoke, and it's not that his opinions do not have scientific bases, but that there is a clear bias on what he is choosing to present, and the ideas that he is choosing to follow. Additionally, he seems to be pro-patriarchy, which is neither here nor there, but I would also like to hear the opinion of a woman in his field, because it seems like what he's saying is "things have been like this forever, so we should not go against that", however, that does not address the fact that women have always experienced a disadvantage under such a system, and just like capitalism and certain religions: everything in theory is great, but not so much in practice. Again, because we devolve into human bias. An additional observation I have is that this guy certainly thinks the rest of the population is as smart as he is, when he needs to understand that his IQ is way above the average, and holding people to his own standards of understanding, empathy, respect, intellectual capability, etc.; is very naive and frankly dangerous, especially when talking about freedom of speech and its consequences, which was definitely addressed, but not resolved, in the podcast.
