Men and women are different? Who knew?

What are the differences between men and women? Sarah Hoyt takes a stab at answering that question.

I often think that the people now controlling education were women who went through this, and therefore want to stop boys from being… well boys. But what they’re doing in fact is creating more sociopathic males who will act as you want them to, but will take as much advantage as possible.

If they’re going to be considered criminals for being males; if none of their good qualities (their superior strength, their loyalty, their protectiveness) are appreciated; if they’re told they can only be this sort of inferior ersatz female… what is there for them to control themselves for? Why not present the face the world wants and take advantage of women behind it?

Chivalry and the code thereof was the laying down of those good reproductive (and civilizational) rules that make for a functioning society that passes on its values to its young: men who put their strength at the service of the weaker; women who praised them and admired them for it; and children who were raised to do the same.

Tearing it down might seem like freedom, but you can’t remove the walls and wish the roof would remain standing.

Men and women are not the same. They are different at the sinew level, at the hormonal level, and yes, at the brain level. Different signals of dominance and submission are baked into each of them by thousands of years of evolution.
