But what is the alt right
3:20 But it IS true that women who "think too much" (a generalisation in terms of having longer education) have less children. And they are miserable.

when the alt-right discover them they feel tremendously empowered like we are now real privy to the truth that the establishment can't handle. you can't handle the truth and since it was never discussed in the open there are no counter arguments to some of the most toxic interpretations, and so the alt-right can run with never having been in a forum where these things are debated and criticized and put into context.
END QUOTE.
OK, Pinker, why don't you offer to debate a representative of the alt-right in a public forum? Jared Taylor would love to take you on, I'm sure.

men and women on average are different, you also come across the fact that men and women overlap in a lot of these traits that whatever trait you name men on average are better at than women or vice versa there are a lot of women who are better than a lot of men or vice versa and so you can't really judge an individual from the average
END QUOTE.
Pinker MUST know that this is not the whole story; it is at the extreme of the distribution where the differences really start to manifest themselves. You can have a small, inconsequential difference at the average, but out at the extremes it starts to make a massive difference.
eg from "Joe Rogan & Jordan Peterson – Are Men and Women More Similar or Different?".
QUOTE.
What are the differences [between men and women] and how do they manifest themselves .. so here's an example: if you took a random woman out of the population and a random man and you had to bet on who was more temperamentally aggressive. If you bet on the man you'd be right 60% of the time but you'd be wrong 40% of the time and that that's not a walloping difference, right? … so there's quite there's a lot of overlap between men and women in terms of their levels of aggression and you think well they're more the same..
Let's play a slightly different game, let's pick the one in a hundred most aggressive persons from the random population. Well they're all men and that's why [almost] all the people in prison are men .. and often if the women are in prison is because they got tangled up with a really bad guy.
