How does men and woman being more the same on average, and differing in the extreme's, mean that men and woman generally prefer different things? It means on average they're similar, but when it comes to certain things, men and woman are very different. |
I didn't watch the video before replying. I have now, and it was exactly what I was expecting it to say.
And now I'm wondering if you watched the videos you shared.
For one, I am using the word things differently than Jordan Peterson is. I'm using the word things as "subjects" - whether it's people, art, computers, and he's using it more as a contrast against people.
What I am saying is that someone could become a doctor because they like helping people, or because they like working with people, or because they like the pay or because they like the benefits. Some of these preferences are associated with men and some are associated with women.
Even if you could associate that women like helping people more than men like helping people, and men prefer solving problems, both of those apply to the job of doctor.
| EricHiggin said: Why are people so worried about the natural Earth as it was? Why do they have such a problem with it being changed? Why do some people, see people, as a cancer that's destroying the planet because we're changing it? Why do they want the Earth left alone to be as natural as it once was, for us to learn to live with it as it's supposed to be, yet those same type of people, seem to think seeing people like men and woman, as naturally a certain way, is unacceptable? |
People are not concerned about keeping the Earth "natural". People are concerned about dying and staying healthy - people are concerned about climate change for example, because it is going to kill people.
People live where they do, because those areas have expected climates. This affects what gets grown there, what kinds of storms happen, and a lot of other things. We have infrastructure and supply lines in place because we expect certain places to be able to support
If that climate changes, best case scenario we have to spend a lot of money to move a lot of operations and change building codes.
Worse case scenario, a lot of dead people.
Most people aren't concerned about keeping the Earth natural just because. They are doing it to prevent harm.
Just like it causes harm when people insist that men and women naturally like different things. It causes harm to the people that don't fit those views. It causes harm when society views some preferences as more valuable.
| EricHiggin said: What part of being a secretary correlates to computing? Did the role of secretary not become a position until after computers were invented? |
Secretarial work isn't really the best phrasing on my part.
It was viewed in the sense of being work that didn't require as much thought. Like a secretary taking notes in a meeting.
