He says, it's pretty clear to me that what we've been told about radicalization for the last 10 years is exactly the opposite of what's happened in reality.

We've been told that men are increasingly radicalized to the right and that this is a bad thing.

What actually happened is that women have increasingly radicalized to the left.

It doesn't really get talked about much, but to the extent it does, it will in every single case be framed as a good thing.

And then the article goes on to say this isn't just America.

There's a similar graph for South Korea and for Germany and the UK, and they're all showing the same thing.

So it's not just American politics that's doing this.

It's a global phenomenon.

And then it goes on to come up with at least some theory.

This is, again, someone's personal theory about this, but it talks about how women evolved in environments where social exclusion carried enormous survival costs.

You know, you can't hunt while you're pregnant.

You can't fight while you're nursing.

Like, they have a different set of biological needs.

Whereas men face different pressure.

You know, they had to go hunt and explore and do combat and all sorts of things.

And so this shows up in the personalities.

You know, the women are a lot more agreeable.

They're a lot more neurotic.

They're more sensitive to negative stimuli.

Whereas men have higher tolerance for disagreement and social conflict.
