The Uncomfortable Science Of Sex Differences - Steve Stewart-Williams - #1120

Steve Stewart-Williams, evolutionary psychologist and author, explores the controversial topic of sex differences. He defines what sex is, examines the biological and social forces that shape differences, and explains the gender equality paradox—the counterintuitive finding that more egalitarian societies often show larger sex differences in personality and interests. The conversation covers the biggest psychological contrasts between men and women, including variance in reproductive success, parental investment, and the hidden motivations behind behavior. Stewart-Williams argues that recognizing differences is compatible with equal respect and opportunity, and that denying them can cause harm.
