About 30 stranded dolphins saved by men while women just stand still and watch. This is not about hating on women, this is to point out that men in general are stronger and ready to take a risk in order to help others (while women care for their and their children's safety).

stranded and saved by local people

Local MEN. Not a single woman in sight lifted a finger.

Women only have to be to be important, men have to do.

What an odd group of dolphins. They're pretty tiny. I've actually fed and pet a dolphin and they're pretty big.

I read an interesting theory about this.

The women in these kind of situations are not simply doing nothing.

They are not simply standing there and watching.

They are observing the scene. Watching the men and the environment.

Possibly to look out for potential danger you could only spot from a distance. And if necessary to warn the involved men - who are too engaged into doing what has to be done - if outside danger were to approach them.

Personally, I noticed this a lot, especially now that I am aware of this idea. My family is big and most of the men are craftsmen or do some kind of manual labor for a living. And if somethings needs to be done you always find at least half a dozen men on the day to help you out.

If accidents occured, the women of these men always stood by, gave them things they needed - and they observed the men.

Yes, because of their strength, men are more useful doing the actual work in such a situation, but nature is clever and gives everyone a role to fullfill.

OK, OP. Time for a teaching moment. What you see in this video is a demonstration of the different values that men and women are taught when it comes to any situation that might spark the "bystander effect".

Did we all see the key phrase? "are taught". Ok. Good. You've seen it again. Now let's repeat it so that we all fucking get it and to prevent any obtuse cuntery. "are" followed by the word "taught, to form the phrase "are taught". I've even made sure to italicize it.

And that is what we should be discussing. Why are men taught to act when danger or an emergency occurs while women are taught to wait for men to act for them? Why do so few women challenge this paradigm? What can be done to encourage them to?

Now let's see how many people refuse to acknowledge the difference between inherent characteristic and learned behavior.

Sorry man, you can't fight for equality if you keep saying "men are better" simultaneously.
