I think a lot of it, particularly for non-physical activities, comes down to competiveness and resilience.

Males just tend to have a greater propensity for competition and are willing to put up with a lot of hardship. Females are more geared towards social acceptance and conviviality (on the surface).

Take cooking for example. For almost all of it, physical strength doesn't matter. It's about skill and a good gut feeling for it. And despite pushes for more females, the field is still dominated by men.

Why? Perhaps it's because the culinary world is a high-octane place, where the pressure can be immense, stakes high, and tempers fray. A certain type of humour comes from this, and from the outside it comes across as nasty. Being competitive helps you survive this. I don't think most women are psychologically (due to biology) equipped for it.

I think a lot of it is the derailment due to kids. Damn hard to have the same time in career as a man while pounding out kids. Though in my field there are extremely accomplished women, equivalent to the men, where I don't think you could really point to any gender specific reasons for success or otherwise. I'm sure a broad survey would show that the most accomplished women had fewer (or no) kids, used nannies, had in-laws or a more at home spouse, something like that, not really sure. However there are sub-specialties that are biased (sometimes heavily) towards one gender or another so maybe they have more impact.

In the video, it's purely a contest of power and coordination.

But in other things life, let's face it. Some things men are better at, some women. And a lot fo that has to do with preference. It's a biological thing.

How come there's so few female surgeons? When in reality there's shitloads of female doctors and dentists? Probably because it's too gross. How come there's so many female dental hygienists, when the dental office might be owned by a guy just as much as a female? Probably because guys dont want to clean teeth. If they want a career in oral medical jobs, looks like they beeline to being a dentist.

Guys have an easier time with jobs and pay because they'll do all kinds of shitty jobs, gross jobs, daring jobs etcc..... notice how there's almost no female garbagewomen? Pays pretty good. Probably unionized. Cant be that hard to drive a truck and use that robot arm to pick up garbage bins. But it's almost all guys. I remember seeing an article years ago a garbage company even stated in a discriminatory way they were actively looking to hire women. By the way it sounded, as long as a female applied and you were able bodied enough you'd probably be gifted a job. But the article said that 97% of garbage people are men. And they couldnt hire more women to chage the ratio because they said no women applied. It's all guys applying for garbage truck jobs.

but these women are fat and big and uglies.

I want thin, delicate, and faithful girls.

Not mastodons
