    This reminds me of the Roman Empire trend on tiktok right now. Women's minds are blown because men think about the roman empire, and the women have never thought about it (or really anything related to history) at all. Just thoughts of Taylor swift, jewelry, and who knows what tf else. But absolutely nothing related to history. It's wild

    the point he's making is that women don't know anything about the biggest war in the history of mankind that had, at the time, ended only 60 years earlier. WWII is an incredible story of evil, bravery, courage, tactics, wits, perseverance, and exemplifies the entire spectrum of the very worst to the very best of the human condition. You will learn more about human nature and what humans are capable of from WWII than any other event in history. The point Ace is making is that people NEED to know about it. It's incredibly important to understand it well, so that we never make those mistakes again and also to pay our respects to millions of men who gave their lives for all of us, including people in countries whose languages they didn't speak and whose cultures they knew nothing about. I've had the same experience as Adam, in that every woman I talk to knows almost NOTHING about WWII, often they can't even name the major allied and 3 major axis powers. They don't know the very BASICS of one of, if not THE most important event in history. Guys tend to do much better, although this is changing as men in the US are basically turning into chicks.

    Women are interested in different things. They apply themselves to the concrete world of their families, friends and people that they know. They see no need for a greater understanding or knowledge of forces or events outside their own particular universe which often times may extend no further than the end of their driveway.

    I definitely agree with adam's overall sentiment, but naming a WWII plane is still asking a bit much. Just a battle or a general would have been much more to the point.

      the cleverness in adam's question is that 1. in ww2 airplanes were decisive technology for the first time in history 2. airplanes are cool and are a part of our day to day lives, anyone should know at least one or two from the big WWII esp when there have been hundreds of movies made about the biggest conflict in history

    I've known guys that are huuuge into airplanes. I've never paid much attention. I had all the WW2 planes memorized for awhile just from playing a WW2 game, but that faded with time. I was in the Navy 6 years and I can't tell you WW2 planes now! I just don't fucking care. I could tell you plane types, how they were used when they where used, where they were used the various politics, social issues, and military actions of WW2, but for planes I think Mustang and Zero. Ships I could name though.

    This is honestly based and his points are all right. But how many men know anything at all about the history of fashion, which is no less interesting that war? I bet this guy doesn't even know what winingas are.

      Because there was an absolute explosion of scientific progress made in several parts of the world as a result of various axis and allied efforts to create weapons for victory. The P51 Mustang itself was a marvel of avionics, until the Germans almost singlehandedly invented rocketry with their V2s, and jet engines with the first jet - the Messerschmit ME62. America responded by splitting the atom and starting a new terrifying arms race that now could kill every living thing on the planet a dozen times over. Alan Turing invented basic mechanical computation while deciphering German coded messages. Werner Von Braun and other German scientists, using knowledge gained from wartime rocketry, started the process of reaching low-earth orbit, and beyond. So yeah, maybe it matters a little bit.

      it was the first war that planes were decisive in numerous battles and the war itself was won thru airpower in both theaters... and planes arent like artillery, tanks or warships where you can go your entire life without seeing one, planes are part of our daily life. on top of that the names are easy, theyre the same as common cars like the mustang, corsair, electra... or birds falcon, hawk, eagle etc. The point being made, is that almost no women pay attention to anything of historical significance. Repeal the 19th amendment!
