This is also true in pre democratic Korean culture. We didn't have a one child policy, but boys were favored because women were considered property of their husband's family. And a daughter would not be able to care for her aging parents. How an apparent intellectual and professor doesn't know this seems preposterous. It just seems like he's just plain racist and intentionally spreading hate against asians.

I'm not sure why no one brought up why Chinese couples wanted males. Males take care of the parents as the parents age. So married couples take care of the male's parents, while the female's parents would have to be taken care of by their male child. If they don't have a male child, they don't get taken care of. Homelessness among Chinese senior citizens is on the rise.

@@jumpinjohnnyruss A dowry is a gift presented to the married couple from the parents of the bride when their daughter marries. It is usually money and/or property. Its value can often be quite substantial. Especially because they are heavily tied to prestige and status. Dowries are a widespread cultural phenomenon and also an aspect of Chinese tradition As such, when the law mandates you are only allowed to have one child, it might well feature as part of the motivation for why daughters might be less desirable than sons. Regardless of whatever demographic impact that decision has. If you are poor and cannot afford a dowry for a daughter to marry someone, there is considerable pressure on you to get a son instead. Because not only do you not have to pay a dowry--in fact if your son does marry, he will receive it, but a son is seen as more likely to be able to look after you in your old age. Neither of these factors revolve around breeding a lonely generation of soldiers, yet that seems to be the only possible motivation to Weinstein.

Legit quantitative studies can be done on how much culture is constrained by genetics, and statistical methods from evolutionary bio can perhaps be useful to study the diversity and transmission of culture (Dawkins coined the word "meme" to talk about units of cultural change). But this handwaving just-so stories of "the Chinese do this" and "the Germans do that" would be laughed at in an evolutionary biology setting.

Brett Weinstein clearly doesn't understand traditional Chinese culture, which he could learn by simply looking it up. Like European culture, Chinese culture is historically patriarchical, and in pre-industrialized China, the only way to continue the family name was to have a son to carry it. Daughters would move in with their husbands' families once they married, and for many parents in that society, investing in the raising of a child to adulthood only for them to be married off to another family was a huge financial strain on the family, especially when most families lived in multi-generational homes and the next generation was responsible for taking care of the parents in old age. That was the whole point of a dowry. It was logical from their cultural POV, and this doesn't even reflect modern Chinese families anymore. All it takes is for Mr. Weinstein to do a little research into the historical context of it all. Meanwhile, in the 19th century, America banned Chinese women from immigrating to the States long before it banned Chinese men from immigrating for another 60 years. Specifically, white Americans accused Chinese women of all being prostitutes and carrying venereal diseases, when in fact they didn't want the Chinese to marry and reproduce within US borders.

there's no way you even take one graduate class in evolution and don't understand how incorrect this is... (or the amount of evidence that's needed for actual sociobiological arguments -- you can't just handwave this stuff). Weinstein knows. I'm rofl that he made Dawkins call for a historian!!

The only thing that came to mind while listening to this Brett Weinstein gibberish was a quote I read somewhere: (Only he who has heard the woman's cry at the hour of childbirth, understands the true meaning of life)..

I was not aware that Brett Weinstein is so intellectually underwhelming, to be polite.

3:08 The random Perry Mason theme clip that started playing at this moment made a lot more sense than this guy's entire twaddell.

When teenage me became aware of the the Chinese one child policy there was a constant barrage of banner ads for “Lonely Russian girls who want you”. A clear solution to both problems was to pair them up to create a super race, the Crussians. I’ll let myself out.

biological Essentialism is what he is doing and it writes out the self determination of living and thinking creatures.

Weinstein is a classic "armchair" scientist in that he sits around supposing things without the troublesome steps of data collection and analysis.

The sex-ratio imbalance in China is a vastly overstated. Chinese people got around the one-child policy not by practicing female infanticide or sex-selective abortion on anywhere near the scale supposed, but by simply not registering their extra children with the authorities.

Damn Brett really has fallen hard. I used to like him. 😢

It wasn’t “sexism” Emma. What happened was when parents could only have one child they wanted a boy because in their culture it’s on the kids to take care of their parents once they got older and the parents felt that they would have a better chance of being taken care of by a man. It led to millions of baby girls being killed. It was a horrible thing.

​@@TheMahayanistthat policy was beyond sexism.

It didn’t occur to you before because it’s a stupid idea. You had to dumb yourself down to think of it.

There’s no “evolution” here, just sociology and sexism. Chinese people were limited to one child, and social pressures heavily in favor of males meant couples were statistically more likely to abort female fetuses. The trend never corrected itself partly because those same sexist pressures remain in place and partly because the gender imbalance only became apparent relatively recently. Nobody really knows what can or should be done about it, anyway, since this has pretty much never happened before. The closest analogues would be early Rome or Colonial South America which had mostly men and almost no women, so they just kidnapped women from somehwere else. Something tells me China isn’t planning to raid Vietnam or Mongolia or something to fix their sex imbalance.

Where is the racism, did I miss it or is everything default racist if you speak negatively about a non-white majority country? (not a fan of weinstein whatsoever btw)

It is racist because he is somehow purporting that the increase in men in China has to do with some military strategy when it is actually because of sexist beliefs that remain as part of traditional Chinese culture - who will carry the name? A woman leaves her parents to support the home of her new family. With this structure, what Chinese family wants a girl if there is no help in any way to the family? Not agreeing this is right but this is what people believed if allowed to have 1 child. China has issues but targeting a group and trying to make them a military threat is ridiculous when he should more easily point the finger at his own country of Israel and see the ACTIONs of his government on innocent civilians.

You might be confused because of the cryptic way that racists now employ culture as a dog whistle Using culture as an explanation in a racist way usually involves belittlement or implied inferiority. Ex. Racists won't ever talk about the actual mechanisms for why a culture is a certain way, but quietly they blame the innate characteristics of a people. Brett is doing a weird race-science thing, inappropriately applying evolution to imply that war is now an innate characteristic of a population of Chinese males. That's why what he's saying is racist, and merely using Chinese culture in an explanation is not. Hopefully this helps you, and you aren't just trying to troll.

@@FallingAliceMusic Maybe sexist or ultra traditional perhaps. Either way, Weinstein prefers to go down some unproven rabbit hole with strange QAnon logic rather than point the finger at his own racist country which has data showing genocide of innocent civilians. But that wouldn’t be a headliner or make money for him because we are already aware of that. Look him up, he has no credibility, he seems to profit from fake accusations.
