1. This is just an opinion though. There is no scientific or statistic evidence to prove this claim. Given that women have equal rights with men almost all over the world a change to that would even have a negative effect.

2. 0:16 , gates totally has a stiffy XD

3. *10 Random news reports *
   9 men have killed bla bla bla
   Woman killed bla bla bla
   I'm trying to say that he is right men who have a bit more control will do that
   When the woman have more control well yes the same
   In the us the power of both is sorta equal but In my opinion the violence is more into the men in this country

4. I actually bought Steven Pinker's book because I found it interesting.  I found the chapter on feminization in the summary and I started regretting having bought it.  Its sad to see that the majority of the world's great minds are gynocentric, women aren't saints by virtue of being women, and women having more power than men doesn't make them more saintly either.  Gynocentricism and its weapon known as feminism will inevitably cause the entropy of every western society that denies the more rational study of human behavior and cognition from an absolutely politically-incorrect stance.  This is a study that lies in our evolutionary and biological roots, rather than the infantilization or worship of women, and the demonization or apathy of men, which is what the general premise of humanity's "humanism" is today.  

   The intellectual men and women who deny the female capacity for evil allow the future of it.  Just as they always have.

5. My 14 year-old son broke his hand while punching a wall during an argument with his 13 and 1/2 yr old cousin – choosing not to hit his cousin…who had picked the fight. While getting his cast put on, I said to the nurse: "Let me me guess, about 80% of these boxer fractures are young males aged 14-25…are they not?" Female nurse said: "yes, more or less. Occasionally we get a mad girlfriend with the same injury."

6. This is offensive

7. I do think Pinker is a good researcher and scientist, so I hardly question his credibility, but phrases like "men want women to be baby factories" beg for explanation. I'd like to know the data around that and know in what places, cultures and time periods. I mean, in Europe for example there is a decline in the number of young people, and couples are looking more to have less children to have less responsibilities. I know that's maybe more of an issue in poor countries, but explaination is also required.

8. Does anyone know where I can find this full interview?

9. Have you ever noticed that the only people who claim that "men want women to be baby making factories" are women (usually ones who have trouble getting along with men), and individual men, referring to other men (not themselves of course)? No man has ever made this claim about themselves.

10. No its not because you can have women like Hillary Clinton who fist pump because they killed Gaddafi. But ive had a theory that if all world leaders were women, scientifically speaking, because they produce less testosterone & more estrogen, that theyd be less wars.

    But i think someones holistic, intellectual understanding of life or lack of thereof – is more of a player here, compared to gender

11. 1:08–1:28 Women do the same

12. I was going to read this guy's book but idk how much i'll get through it before i put it down, due to disagreeing with it for possibly being incoherent

13. Certainty some pretty serious exceptions of this. Bloody Mary is obvious example but there have been a few somewhat war heavy female leaders and other violent or aggression prone females. Actually nearly half of domestic abuse is against men according to studies since the seventies, though primarily emotional abuse. Though the whole woman with the frying pan hitting her husband has been around a while as well. And actually quite a few famous guys were beaten up by their wives or struck pretty hard according to friends reports such as Humphrey Bogart and Abraham Lincoln. And even modern females like Hillary Clinton were very supportive of America’s past wars. So I don’t think this theory is exactly true or not true to the extent or in the fashion that they think it is. I mean even regular women, particularly those growing up in rough areas, are very prone to getting into fights just like the men are. I’m totally all for more women leaders, we’ve had quite a few very powerful queens and things in the past, and there are and have been a few women prime ministers and presidents for decades in Britain, Australia, and South Korea, I just think they’re also human and that there have been violent women leaders and so I just don’t think the data there is solid enough to say yet. And as the woman president in South Korea was impeached or stepped down on the threat of being impeached due to embezzling money I’d say at the least you aren’t getting rid of some typical political corruption by simply balancing out the gender thing. I think there would definitely be a lot of benefits of balancing that out I’m just not sure if reducing violence is one as past events and current data doesn’t say that yet. It might even reduce certain abuse to have everyone more represented in the power structure, but I think the quality of the person decides if corruption is reduced and violence as well verses anything inherit like sex.

15. The reason i don't take Pinker seriously anymore.
