  • Why can't a man be more like a woman? Why can't a woman be more like a man? Helen E. Fisher, Ph.D., a biological anthropologist and human behavior researcher, spoke at the University of South Florida to answer these questions.
    Fisher is a professor at Rutgers University and has studied romantic interpersonal attraction for more than thirty years.
    This event was part of the Frontier Forum lecture series, presented by the USF Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Faculty and sponsored by the USF Office of the Provost, USF College of Arts and Sciences and Mayor Bob Buckhorn.

    I wonder what her take on why and how sexism on a societal level came to be is. I always think it's so important to take a look at the evolutionary psychology when it comes to thinking about or discussing gender issues, I think that's the only way to make sense of it, as psychological sexual dymorphism is a product of evolution. I think that's one of the biggest failures on the part feminism (speaking of modern day internet feminism (also average people. not radical feminists. simply "feminist means someone who believes men and women are and should be treated equally" feminists). That's all I'm familiar with). I definitely agree that sexism is a thing that women are unjustly subjected to, and I think that most of the people who self identify as feminists are coming from the right place, and that most of what they accomplish and are working to accomplish will be a good thing. But I think there are flaws in the ways that those who self identify as feminists come to their conclusions about why people act in sexist ways, what things actually are sexist, and what the real world solutions are to solving these problems beyond pointing them out. I think to actually look deeply into the issues and understand why sexism exists we have accept the fact that psychological sexual dymorphism exists (which many deny being the case, failing to think about how helpful it would be to our survival, to evolve that way, and not acknowledging the body of research that shows actual brain structure differences caused by the fetal brain being exposed to different hormones), and what about the way we evolved made things end up like they did, why things are the way they are, why people act and feel certain ways. It's only when looking through that lens that it's made sense for me.

      Sexism exists because every society (except our post-modern one) recognizes that men and women are different.
      Which leads to common sense, which leads to stereotypes and different modes of interacting with each gender.
      I’m sure Fisher would agree that, while sexism for the most part is bad, different sexes ought to be approached differently

    I am surprised by the ignorance of anthropology as science (we can assume that this lack of knowledge extends into sociology and psychology as well}. Dr. Fisher is a respected scientist, intellectual, researcher, author and educator. I hope more people learn to discern genuine intelligence from the vast emptiness that tries to legitimize itself on UA-cam capitalising on your stupidity. God help us all!

    80% of people happy in their marries, but she doesn't examine or correlates the importance of the fact there are FAR FEWER marries now. So as a society in general, marriage is still in decline!

      The point is, human behavior shows that culture, socialisation is more imposrtant seeing how human behavior has changed. That means whatever natural porclivities there would be in a true (!) egalitarian culture of nothing akin to gender only character to persue virtues no such thing as gender as we know it. Only a possible, if that, higher proclivity of people in some bodys to some things at the absulut maximum

    13 minutes into this and she is wrong in many aspects. I'll just say this: Male vs female brain studies have shown that even though the corpus callosum is somewhat thicker in women (connecting the two hemispheres with a broader "pathway" - let's put it that way) men have better anterior to posterior connections (connecting visual information with decision centers). This fact would indeed suggest that women would be more prone to hollistic thinking since their right hemisphere (which is the hollistic processor) is better wired to the left. Yet, people with no corpus callosum (the Rainman movie depicts a real life individual with this peculiarity) tend to be idiot savants. They perform extraordinary hollistic tasks like reproducing a sketch of an entire city exactly as they saw it (usually with just one glance) from an aeroplane. They are so accurate at this that they will include even the types of cars they see parked on the streets.
    So, what she should be saying is that women have a different TYPE of hollistic perception. Instead she reduces it to "they think more holistically" which is wrong.

      You do realize that she was giving this talk a) to laypeople so she had to keep it a little bit more “simplistic” perhaps, and b) she had around 35 minutes to explain the basic findings and conclusions so she probably also kept certain things brief rather than delve into the complexities and nuances too much.

    Men are hunters - we want to get to the goal, get there quickly with the least amount of hassle or quibbling; woman are socialising - they want to regulate the social group and everyone's place in it especially their own.
    These are biological survival strategies.
    Men don't stare at each other face to face because it could be perceived as aggressive and lead to a costly fight, could also be perceived as needy and weak and vulnerable; women need to read facial expression to ward off potential violence and to nurture those in need.
    Men: "Let's not talk about it and just f*cking get it done." Women: "Let's talk about it and explore all the ramifications and who gets what and what all could go wrong."
    Men leave the cave, trudge through the ice and snow, kill a mastodon, drag the body back to the cave, want to eat, f*ck and sleep; women want to quibble over who gets what, who has sex with whom, whose children are more precious than whose...

      @@sam_k8868 No evidence of either of these two advancing "superiority" or either gender. Both advocate complementarity. It's just one reminds not to forget the "female angle" and the other - the male. Not clear what meaning you (or anyone for that matter) could assign to the presumed scientist/not scientist divide. What should matter is the quality of data / assumptions and the coherency of arguments (and conclusions where possible). Both, Fisher and Peterson, seem quite solid on these parameters.

      She is describing the hormone systems mostly, estrogen, Testosterone, dopamine, serotine. Biological sex can play a role in that but so does diet and its interaction with our own individual genes. Never does she say women are superior, certain hormones affect how the brain is constructed and compartmentalized. She gives examples of how each sex are like with this hormone dependent reaction with brain Contruction. They get very similar results to personality characteristics. Think of her describing characters, one is analytical and goal oriented and another is intuitive and process oriented

    One of the hazards and the way women think is when intuition and Imagination run astray. Many times women think they know things that they do not know. They imagine that they know what another person is thinking or they imagine they know when another person has done or is planning to do when it is all absolutely simply imagination. They made it up in their head. I have run into this repeatedly. Especially in the form of hostility attribution bias. Or as a woman imagines you are hostile toward them when absolutely that is not true. Also known as projection. They feel hostile or feel as though someone is being hostile toward them and they project that on to a man.
