Brain sex differences: the androgynous brain is advantageous for mental health and well-being
-
Pretty mind blowing stuff to read about... Been sat reading this today...
Interesting idea or not?
-
Androgony and sameness is being pushed everywhere. Stay toxicly masculine my friends.
-
What about bonobos
Even Dr Peat himself said that neoteny might represent the future of the species....
-
@questforhealth there have been several thousand years with the opposite trend up to now. During the Roman Empire women had later menstruation than today. What the future bring is uncertain, but there has been much writing in Norwegian press about earlier and earlier puberty. Some of these young girls are having tits that were not seen in earlier generations. It seems like we are still trending away from Neoteny for now.
-
Yeah because we are an estrogenic not progesteronic society....
-
@questforhealth Have you ever seen that distribution curve where the most intelligent people are allmost exclusively men, but also the most stupid people are almost exclusively men. However, women are moreso an even distribution throughout. I think this explains it. When men are in healthy situations, they excel past women for the most part. But in unhealthy situations, women thrive more. This can be seen in the increase in proportion of female births during stressful events. Aka "The bigger they are, the harder they fall".
-
Yeah.... I've seen that. Weird stuff.
-
@dan-dominic this might be it. It could also be that androgynous people succeed in a society where women are taking on male roles and where men are taking on female roles. Any guy with high T-levels will have a difficult fitting into the longhouse. Any feminine women will be stressed out by the competition that she is shoved into by stupid feminists.
-
I've experienced both high progesterone androgynous mindset and high T in my life and that makes sense... A lot of sense... I think it's easy to remember our mindsets and hormones can change in days by changing diet and what we do
An androgynous brain gives you the flexibility to do both no?????
-
you need androgynous looks with high T brain, like Ernst Junger or Alain Delon (beat his wives)
-
This made me laugh
I might try doing meat and potatoes and black coffee for a week when summer comes around to see what happens
-
@Norwegian-Mugabe Yea but I think a lot of the "woman taking on male roles" is driven by the fact that in a toxic environment, the men end up suffering more severely (as shown by the studies on what influences male infant mortality) so then the women are the ones who are left with the motivation to persue the roles. Then its a vicious cycle and a feedback loop once you deal with the fury of a female boss or female teachers.
We need salvation.
-
Yea that’s always something I’ve thought about. I think the rise of feminism and woman taking on more masculine roles comes from a lack of promising, motivated and innovative men today and woman feeling like they need to fill the gaps.
The environment has pushed men to become more feminine and women more masculine. Ultimately this is because they are both becoming increasingly estrogen and cortisol driven. I see it in the young men around me, they are not driven, only a small few. -
@Jakeandpace Yea it’s sad. You can see how males have much higher rates of autism, suicixe, and also violent crimes. When the environment is toxic, they seem suffer more. The same is true in the other way around though, when the environment is good men excel to much higher heights in every way.

I think the use of birth control might make women more masculine. It certainly leads women to pick more feminine men. Most of the manly boys are also put on Ritalin.
It is crazy how stressed out the women at my office are. They are looked upon as successful because they make big money and have jobs that few are capable of getting, yet they are miserable. The crazy part is that this is going to get a lot worse in the next generation. More young women are electing to study the subjects that lead to long work hours now than in earlier generations. These young women have apparently failed to perceive how wretched and unhappy their fat, stressed, and lonely mothers are. The majority of law and economics students in Norway are now women. There are over 50% more women who take higher education than men. Most of these women are not willing to date men who do not have a degree from uni. The average doctor in Norway works 55 hours a week, and around 80% of medicine students are women. Women also have a higher usage of alcohol, medicine, and tobacco even though they tolerate it far less. I would be very anxious to get a daughter in a society that signals such poor ideals to women. -
Thought about this
I don't think androgynous NPCs that are happy for no reason makes sense? but idk
I am only happy now because I found peat. When I combined peat with what I knew about growing food and agriculture and energy flow through soil and human food chains it all made sense that i can live a good life
I am so happy my mother didn't put me on adhd drugs. Tried them for 3 months recently never again ever am I ever touching ANYTHING from big pharma. Nature is going to heal me and allow me to live a good life. The school was BEGGING my mum because I would always just do the opposite of what the teacher said just for fun haha
The school had a fruit and vegetable garden and I'd just skip classes and pick fruits and dig massive holes and shit for no reason...
Strange world we live in tbh
-
@Norwegian-Mugabe I think they pick more "feminine" men because they pick someone who has the same phenotype as them (estrogenic). Assortative pairing shows this.
-
Do you think theres hope to reverse this? I think we might be about to see a big change for the better. I feel it coming.
-
@Norwegian-Mugabe Women aren't doing this because they enjoy it. Women are stressed because they can't be free, they can't be themselves. Muscles, reflexes, intelligence all things that allow men to be free regardless of how fucked up their environment is. Women don't have these properties usually so they can't be free, can't be themselves in a broken society. They become what they need to become to survive. Which, currently, is either a miserable wage slave or miserable whore. Neither of these options are good.
The main thing that progressives did was stripping away the protections society was extending to women. Tearing apart the family union that protected women from having to leech off of random suitors or corporations.
Only if we succeed at rebuilding that protection for women are we able to see their true selves.

@dan-dominic You are correct. The total amount of skills and value decreases in our society as we have less spectrum of gender differences. Pure masculine men are better than both feminine men and masculine women at most tasks. Feminine women are totally supreme over masculine women and feminine men at nursing and child-rearing. By increasing the number of masculine women and feminine men, we are decressing the extremely valuable synergic effects of a society filled with masculine men and feminine women. We are moving from a society of great polarity and a high total value, towards a society where everyone is mediocre at both feminine and masculine tasks. @pittybitty is right that this transition is forced as we move away from both extended and now lately also nuclear families. Father deprivation, hormonal imbalances, and the drastic change in the workplace are all increasing in speed. We will therefore have declining gender differences and a loss of the total amount of capability in our society. This loss prolongs the negative spiral.
