The Extreme Male Brain Theory (Autism & Males)

Its an interesting theory, but I don't see how Extreme Male Brain necessarily disproves "gender is socially constructed" per se.

Think about it; we live in a society where those whom are cognitively hypermasculine, by the Extreme Male Brain standard, are socially emasculated. Are men with autism seen as the ultimate embodiment of pussy-crushing jockish GAAAAR machismo? Of course not. Bookish, quiet intellectual types - the ones more likely to have Aspergers or Autism, are treated as not real men in our society. Do Tim Hunt, Simon Baron-Cohen, Nikola Tesla or Matt Taylor embody normative masculinity?

Instead, "real manhood" is often of an anti-rational, emotionalistic nature. The sports teams, the military, all that pack-animal mentality subverts and undermines reason and logic, and demands loyalty to people over principles and celebrates togetherness and groupthink.

Ergo, if the "extreme male brain" theory is true, then society's gender norms contradict biology. This proves that society's concepts of "real manhood" must be at least in part socially constructed.

Thats a fascist channel.

Fascists have adopted a lot of our arguments but I don't think we should be linking to fascist sources, because the economics of fascism are bad for most men, and if the minority right wing of the mens movement smear us with fascism, when the dust settles and the world swings back left to a more fair economics fascists will be more hated than they already are.

Also their theories on whats happening with immigration and why its happening are retarded.
