Thread: The Pros and Cons of Breathing (And Why I should just Stop)

Some of these things are so questionable. From the video Why Women Destroy Nations According to a recent genetic study, 80 of women reproduced while only 40 of men reproduced prior to the modern era. The obvious conclusion to this is that a few top men had access to women while the bottom 60 of men had no mating prospects. Women clesrly did not mind sharing one man with dozen of other women for a man who leads, rather than have the undivided attention of one man who serves... That statement was made in regards as to why women betray their in-group and why they look for powerful men of higher status. I looked at the sources for this. Nowhere does he even link the actual genetic study nor any peer reviewed academic or scientific sources as to the speculation of the reasoning behind the results of the study. He linked the blog of a writer from the New York Times and two forum discussions, all of which are irreputable sources. Taking that information and twisting it to what HE says is the truth doesn't make it the truth at all. Also, his 'recent genetic study' was from 2007. Nine years is considered old. Rather than watch this video, I'd suggest doing your own research as I'm sure more recent data has surfaced since then. Before the modern era, men had a higher mortality rate than women. They went to war. Exploration and travel exposed them to disease. In many cultures, women were property and had no choice in sharing their man. Many were kept as sexual slaves. Then he proceeds to say that the reason Western Europe has negative population growth is because 80 percent of women strive to mate with the top 20 percent of men. Where are the studies to support that? He didn't link any. He also failed to mention that women in developed countries some of the oldest of which are in Western Europe delay or even cancel having children in favor of higher education or career. He also forgot to mention that, in developed countries, there's a growing trend of wanting less and less children. He also forgot to mention that, in developed countries such as those in Western Europe, sexual education and contraceptives have improved vastly since the start of the modern era. Availability of contraceptives has increased as well. All of these things contribute to the negative population growth of Western Europe and the overall decreased fertility rates of developed nations. And while he did link a book titled Sex and Culture, it was written in 1934 and therefore I have every reason to believe the information within is severely outdated and has zero pertinence to the recent dating culture. I'm not even going to open it. The fact that these other factors are magically left out leads me to believe that he's incredibly biased and not reputable to cite in any way, shape or form. Information taken from him would be half-assed at best because he draws unsupported conclusions from the sources talks about. And this is just on one teeny little part of the whole video. I'm sure writing about the whole thing would take me a long time and a giant headache because he does this through the whole video . I don't even want to watch through his other videos. I honestly don't know why anyone would accept this is as good, trusted material. There is no respect for him on my end.
