Maybe because its a pattern in real life? Popularized by movies? e.g. Malcolm in the Middle.
Maybe with the 3rd wave of feminism, men feel that they must voice their problems if we want to exist in society?
- TazeTSchnitzel 11y agoEr, what does this have to do with men? It's not like this only afflicts boys.
- da1 11y agoEverything that relates to outlier characteristics will disproportionately affect more boys than girls. The more extreme the outlier the much more likely it will be a boy. This is just basic human biology that like the GP mentioned is routinely deliberately ignored by feminism.

- evanpw 11y agoI think the GP is referring to differences in standard deviation, not mean, which causes the larger-deviation population to dominate at both the left and right tails.
- da1 11y agoTotally correct.
- Lawtonfogle 11y agoI'm not saying the theory is right or wrong, only that people seem to have a much harder time understanding a theory based off of same means but different standard deviations than a theory based off of different means.
- da1 11y agoNot one mention of variance in that presentation. The author is either ignorant or just dishonest.
- tzs 11y agoOr as Helena Cronin succinctly described men: "more dumbbells but more Nobels".
