“In response to all sorts of things, but including in response to not non-consensual but unwanted sex, you see like the kind of subtle distinction, like legal, but not really desired sex. Women are more likely to find that just makes them feel disgusted. Well, probably because of this evolutionary thing, right? Where having sex with a man who you don't Want to get pregnant by is a bad decision.”

“Yeah, and then you ask men the same thing. Women feel disgusting, basically, to some degree is sort of the dominant. I included this quiz in my book, right, for men and women, like basically for people who had casual sex of some kind or another, right, who participated in this culture. And I sort of pooled the questions from my male and female friends. One of the questions for women was Have you ever had a consensual sexual experience which now makes thinking about it in retrospect makes you feel like kind of physically uncomfortable, that gives you a disgust response? And so many women say yes to that. And one of the reasons for that is that women have a much lower disgust threshold than men do. So like women feel women feel disgusted more easily.”

“Think in different ways. So, I think the harm that's done to women is feeling Well, no, there are obviously some situations where the worst possible thing happens. You know, you go home with a man who turns out to be incredibly dangerous. More common is women just feeling bad about themselves.”

“Yeah, alcohol exaggerates that effect. So if a man's drunk, he's more likely to see sexual interest when it isn't there. And then if she's drunk as well, she's less able to successfully navigate this difficult social situation. Do you know what I mean? It does just feel like we're... The lack of social rules. Just sort of sets everyone up to fail, and it's kind of inevitable that you're going to end up with these. I guess tragedies, right? Are people not understanding one another”

“They both messed up to some degree. Like he didn't read her social cues. She didn't communicate clearly. Like, so often that's what's really going on with these Me Too cases. There's like so much ambiguity in terms of what everyone is supposed to do. And you've got this tussle between what men and women prefer. I mean, adding alcohol is really bad. You know, there's this bias that men have. It's like a deep-seated bias where men will tend to see sexual interest where there isn't, they're more likely to see sexual interest where there is none. They kind of overestimate how much women fancy them, basically. I know. And alcohol makes it worse.”

“Took advantage basically by text. He says sorry, and then later she sort of spills the beans in a magazine article. And that kind of thing is basically an invention of the sexual revolution, that kind of conflict where there's that degree of ambiguity. It wasn't that unreasonable for him to think that sex would happen. It wasn't that unreasonable. The problem that she found herself in is that she had to try and as politely as possible say no without that's a really difficult social game isn't it particularly when everyone's drunk right and she ended up, I guess”

“Really criminal behavior like Harvey Weinstein or whatever. But you also quite often what's going on is it's not even So much more subtle than that. It's like the Eze Zanzari case. Do you remember that? Quite an interesting case because he, in terms of the response, says Izanzari, you know, famous actor comedian. He goes on a date with this woman who's a fan. And it's all going well. And then they go back to his and he wants her to have sex and she doesn't want to basically. But she also, he's like a famous man who she likes like she might want to in the future. She doesn't want to like she doesn't want to offend him. She doesn't want to mess it up. And so there's this like subtle kind of tussle and they end up doing some sexual stuff or whatever. She goes home. She feels terrible. She subsequently says to him.”

“The default was we might. And so suddenly it became a negotiation and it became a there's this evolutionary psychologist David Buss who specializes in human sexuality and he writes about this sort of eternal power play basically where women would like to wait longer before they have sex and men would like to have sex sooner and there's always this sort of volleying back and forth like who is going who's going to who's going to win basically, right? And the pill massively shifts it in the have sex sooner direction. And so yeah, you say women who used to be the assumption I would not have sex altruist date. And now I'm having to like this is so often what actually is happening in me too kind of cases. I mean obviously me too cases is a lot of range. You've got straightforward”

“Because the pill, number one Because it means that you can do it without it being without pregnancy being high risk. And I think it all ends up being downstream of that, that it then changes. It basically used to be, you can actually read accounts of women who were in their 20s, say at the time when the pill came along. And they'll say, I used to, it used to be the case. You go out on a date and the expectation is we will not be having sex, right? That was the agreed upon thing. Not to say it never happened, obviously it did, but that was the default. And then you might have sex on engagement or when you get married, maybe when you're going steady, you know, that expression you hear in like old high school films. But that was a way down the track, right? And then the pill comes along and you read women saying like it suddenly completely changed things. It suddenly was like the default was not.”

“Know, I went along with the most degrading, upsetting, whatever. Sexual things because I don't know why because I wanted him to think I was cool because I didn't, you know, and I think that's something that a lot of people find difficult to empathize with and will say, and some men do say in criticism of my position, like why don't these why don't these girls just sort of get a grip?”

“always like the first you know and I think it's because teenage girls probably for self-protective reasons there must be some adaptive reason here are very very socially sensitive they're very like constantly aware of their social position what other people are doing what's cool what's not cool which also translates to things like fashion and slang slang ditto you know a lot of slang starts with teenage girls because they're this very um there's this very mimetic group right and that's fine like that's not The idea that being approved is incredibly cringe, has taken hold really, really effectively among this group of girls. And so, you know, I'll talk to girls or read or listen to girls saying like,”

“Because they don't want to scare off a man who maybe they do fancy, and because they don't want to be on cool and because they don't want to be weird and they don't want to be a prude. You know, one of the features of teenage girl psychology, and maybe this is into the 20s as well, but particularly teenage girls, is teenage girls are so, so concerned about what's normal. Whenever you have contagious mental illnesses, which like historically are quite common, so something like the Sale and Witch Trials, apparently girls are now getting tourettees from TikTok because it's like a viral thing on TikTok, hysteria in the 19th century, anorexia, there's a lot of examples of these, right, where mental illnesses, which are seen to be socially contagious, people catch it from each other, you end up with this memetic effect. They always start with teenage girls, always. Sometimes they spread to other groups, but teenage girls are...”

“Women have an empathy gap, like they probably don't realize one, how many men basically don't have access to any kind of sexual relationships and feel incredibly resentful and frustrated about that. They don't realize how scary it is for men to approach a woman, things like that. So there's like a mutual sort of incomprehension. And I think the other thing is men find it very hard to imagine doing what a lot of young women do, which is basically going along with sex that they don't really want to have because they want to be polite.”

“I know this is kind of surprising to men, right? And I've spoken to men about this who find this completely amusing. They're like, why would, if you don't want to have sex, don't have sex, it's fine. Like what's the big problem? Like women are so lucky because they can't step out onto the street without being propositioned. They can have, you know, they have so much choice. Like, you know, you girls are so lucky. What are you complaining about? And I think it's this problem that, one, okay, two problems. One is that both sexes are not necessarily very good at understanding what the other sex actually want and that partly comes from the fact that I don't think we're honest enough about sex differences. So like men think that the fact that women can get casual sex at any time, if any day is amazing. And women are like, but I don't want that. That's like horrible. I don't want to shag some random man on the street, right? So there's that gap in sort of, there's that empathy gap. And similarly, I think.”

“No involvement in raising the children but take basically no risks whatsoever. So if you look at it in those terms, of course women would be pickier. Of course they would. And that is indeed what we see. But I think that what we're, I think the reason that young women express so much unhappiness at the moment with the sexual culture is that a lot of young women Of go along with it”

“Basically, what women are more likely to want is monogamy, like not necessarily marriage, but certainly signals of commitment. If you think about this in our evolutionary, in terms of our evolutionary history, it makes perfect sense, right? Because having sex is pretty much the most consequential thing a woman can do, right? Because if you get pregnant, you've got nine months of pregnancy, which is risky in itself, childbirth, which is very risky in the ancestral environment, less so now, fortunately. And then you've got maybe 15 years or something of having to look after a child until it's capable of being economically self-sufficient. That's an enormous thing to happen in your life. And it also means that women can only really reproduce once a year. Absolute max, right? Whereas men in theory can reproduce thousands of times a year and can have basically”

“I mean, you're talking about overlapping bell curves, right? So the average is different. But the thing with overlapping bell curves is it's more of a set of the tails. So, for instance, like people who buy sex or people who become addicted to porn or something, they're basically entirely male because you're talking about this sort of tippy-tippy tale of people who really, really desire sexual variety. Most people obviously are not out there, most people are somewhere in the middle. But when you're talking about culture, Need to be thinking about the big picture. You need to be thinking that, okay, what does a culture of casual sex, how would a culture of casual sex affect men and women differently?”

“You know, there's been surveys done of like basically every country in the world, to my knowledge, and in no country do women watch more porn than men, in no country do women express more of a desire of casual sex than men do, in no country do women buy sex more than men do, like it's basically only men who buy sex. It's very, very rare for women to buy sex. When you see these gaps, absolutely everywhere, I think that's a very strong indication that you're dealing with something innate That's certainly the simplest explanation, isn't it? Rather than that you flip the coin a thousand times and it comes up heads every time. Is that plausible?”

“Looking cross-culturally is one big clue because you might say, and some people do say, like there are these studies, they're quite funny where researchers will go onto university campuses and get an attractive woman, an attractive man, and they go up to members of the opposite sex and basically proposition them and say, like, do you want to go back to mine right now? In 0% of cases do women say yes. Zero percent. And this is consistent, whereas in quite a high proportion of cases, men will say yes, right? And that is consistent across, it's been done. And that's a little bit true. But then when you see”

“Which you can try and get past with technology with contraceptive technology, but you can't quite, you know, it's still there. The psychological differences between the sexes in terms of sexuality are also important. They're not as massive as, say, upper body strength. But on average, they are very, very marked. And one of those differences is that men are basically keener on casual sex than women are. Men want to jump into bed more quickly than women do.”

“So it means for instance that I think casual sex is almost always more risky for women than it's worth it. Because one being alone with a man that you don't know, basically, is what we're talking about, is inherently dangerous for women just because that physical asymmetry. Two, because women are the ones who get pregnant, like even with the pill, even with the most reliable contraception, you've still got that small chance. And so that either means that you pregnancy's term with all of its physical risks and emotional risks, or it means you have an abortion. Like basically all of those costs are borne by the woman. The man might have no idea, but this has even occurred, right? So there's this kind of essential asymmetry.”

But if women did not have their own reserved sporting categories, there would be no women in elite sport.

They don't know, they don't know these realities about, you know, the fact that men have double the upper body strength that women do on average Which means they can punch twice as hard as women can on average.

“How do we channel male aggression in the right directions? How do we protect young women during these vulnerable years? This is a profound problem and it's a problem that every society faces. And I don't think that we deal with it as well as we could, partly because I think we don't tell the truth about it. And not least feminists don't tell the truth about it. Because if you say, oh, there are no physical differences between men and women, male and female sexuality is basically the same. Women having as much freedom, sexual freedom as possible is obviously the best possible thing.

There's basically just testosterone rises a lot in your mid-teens and then drops in your 30s and is basically doing that period that, I mean, there's massive upside to this as well. Testosterone is also the drug of the hormone of being adventurous and risk-taking. And there's a lot of upsides to having that sort of youthful energy. The downside is things like rape.

Standard feminist theory says men and women are basically the same. There aren't any real important differences between us, either physical or psychological, apart from the baby's bit, whatever, who cares. And that sexual violence, rape, is not about sexual desire, it's about power. And then I actually went to work with victims. And I notice things. I sort of couldn't help but notice things about.”

The problem is when you don't have the expectation that people wait, there's really nothing stopping those very attractive high status men from playing the field and not being forced to commit.

But in a monogamous system, you have to commit to a woman and remove yourself from the dating pool.”
