32:00 Depression rates, could it be that girls have more of a stereotype to fit to (and feel bad if they perceive not to meet these criteria)?

Doesnt everybody have that though? As a man, I have the pressure to make a lot of money and have a high status job

[@vaultsjan]

@@damian.gamlath Maybe its my personality, maybe its the money I make but I personally really do not feel/get much of that.

[@damian.gamlath]

@@vaultsjan fair enough. But I'd argue that most men are low in anxiety, my brothers certainly aren't affected by it. I, personally, have struggled with the stereotypes of being manly, having high status, making lots of money etc.
(my point being that perhaps it isn't just the stereotype but a biological proclivity towards anxiety that leads girls/women to develop depression)

This woman shouldn’t be allowed to teach.

She's completely full of crap when it comes to transvestites competing in the opposite gender's sports. In "Meta-analysis and the psychology of gender differences", she makes false equivalencies and tries to draw parallels between weight classes in boxing and potential classifications for co-ed sports leagues. The fact of the matter is that by the time a transvestite starts their unnatural horomone therapies, they have already developed bone and muscle structure that would call into question both the legitimacy and the equitableness of these competitions. Reaction timing from different brain chemistry will also play an enormous roll in any sport. The literature I linked also incorrectly speculated that women would somehow magically evolve over the past 20 years to reach the average running time for a marathon. This has still yet to happen both in terms of a record time for each sex as well as the average time for completion. I suppose time will tell if she is correct or not about other race lengths post-50 years of her writing this garbage.
