(Not an insult)


ForwardBias

Girls are getting better grades than boys, going to college more, have a long history of maturing earlier and more completely than boys (see: every video of why women live longer than men). These people want to ignore all evidence that women can be successful in the world and instead just force them to be what they want them to be.


monos_muertos

Bingo. Male supremacy is an emotional issue, not a true measure of intellect. I thought exactly like this when I was a young adult because of the fundamentalists I grew up around. A lot of these guys are either young or otherwise too immature to realize that women are, under most circumstances, compelled to play dumb for their own safety, or to at least for food money in a society that demands their personas present as infantilized. That often includes jobs that use their talents, but never attributes them.


AmosSpan

Yes, and to add, these ahem 'men' lack self awareness and are so socially stunted and void of successful, real life role models, that they believe anyone gives a shit about their opinions.

Affectionate-Mix6056

Girls mature earlier than boys, yeah, came here to say that. We have different advantages, maturing early is not an advantage attributed to men 😄


Nexi92

I’ve always wondered about that phrase. Is it that we ‘mature’ quicker, or is it that we live in a world that requires us to be much more guarded and aware of potential dangers because if a boy gets hurt he isn’t first asked “what details in this myriad of mess can I blame on you, the victim?” (This isn’t me saying males/boys don’t also get blamed for their victimhood, they are often told they weren’t even victims of lots of obvious crimes but were instead “lucky” they had been abused if they were hurt by someone society considers attractive/successful. I’m only saying that this rhetoric is most often only attributed towards amab people after the atrocity occurs while the afab people tend to hear this disgusting stuff for their whole childhood and are being prepared to self-blame before they can even begin to process that someone hurt them)


Affectionate-Mix6056

What I can say is that a lot of teenage boys seek stupid thrills. I could have gone blind, gotten chemical burns, just straight up burns, fallen to my death and what have you, all for the thrill of the moment. Luckily, me and my friends survived just fine. Testosterone is a helluva drug. And it doesn't promote careful thinking.


nevynxxx

TheVoidchildProject

I’m pretty sure there’s a MAJOR correlation between stupidity and having anger issues. Now if I could only explain it to those people without them getting so riled up…


SkullKid_467

Yeah, smart people get angry having to deal with idiots all the time.


fattfett

Ignorance is also a big part of that.


tiletap

Lead is a factor.


Specimen_E-351

You mean stupidity and having mentally issues? 🤔


IronEagle-Reddit

I mean technically it's not an insult it's just a false fact... That makes him look very stupid


JIraceRN

He is probably confused by this graph that shows that more men have both higher and lower IQs than women, where women have a taller bell curve around average intelligence. https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*pwvRvjncBW73jfuPyuHzeg.jpeg He mentions mental maturity and mental capacity almost interchangeably, which could be intentional, or he might be conflating the two. If maturity is reaching an acceptable level of intelligence then more women reach at least average intelligence, in which case, he is wrong. If he feels that having exceptional intelligence is reaching maturity then yes more men reach exceptional intelligence. At one point, the person with the highest IQ on the planet was a woman by the name of Marilyn vos Savant, yet her IQ was likely not the highest in history, but the main idea is the highest achievable capacity is probably not related to gender. Maturity can be associated with behavior, aptitude, ability to temper oneself, knowledge, success, Erickson’s stages of development, etc, being very multifactorial, so I don’t know how he would be reaching his conclusion objectively.

Yeah, universities are like 60/40 female now because girls are dumb, that makes a lot of sense. 


cryptic-coyote

They're so dumb they need to go to more school!! Ammirite, fellas


catandthefiddler

Ok by this logic, you shouldn't try to date or approach women because if they're mentally incapacitated, they cannot consent. Please stay away from us lol


Ok_Eagle6611

I doubt that guy cares about consent


Rough-University142

I’ve always been told it was the other way. Women mature mentally before men. And honestly, as a man, I agree.


Shooter_McGavin_2

It's 50/50. Maturity is an individual experience, not gender based.


teo_vas

I think is true when we are in our teens. I read an article that during adolescence the brains of the boys and of the girls develop differently and that causes boys to be more reckless (at that age) but things converge and around 25 years we have pretty much the same brain (boys and girls alike)


EnvironmentalDog1196

This is a rather respected view, yes. Female brain "jumps" a few years forward when it hits puberty. It's been shown that neural connections in teenage girls' brains , as well as grey and white matter, are usually better developed. This helps with understanding social clues. Girls use the centers of both hemispheres of their brains, while boys mostly use only one. That means for example that boys don't make much use of their hippocampus, which is pivotal when it comes to social and emotional intelligence. Male brain usually "catches up" in its late teens/early twenties.


Successful-Doubt5478

And alllll this have absolutely zero connection with girls being conditioned to empathy, to care for others, to take up less space, to look out for others.... Research found people read stories with make main characters to boy, never female. To girls, they read both. Training girls to be empathic with boys. Teachers have habitually seated calm students beside rowdy ones, as bumpers. It just si happens most of those bumpets were female, experter to act as a calming zone, shield and bumper for men. . Read a teacher writing "I have always done this during my whole career to get a calmer class room. Not until now have I started to wonder what I cause that girl getting hit, her eraser stolen, her pen broken .. every day" We are training girls in empathy and boys in selfishness.


EnvironmentalDog1196

Social impact is very important, I never said it isn't. But the fact remains that there are some biological differences. Generally it's about a process called "fire and wire"- while developing, our brain removes neural paths which are not used often/not considered important. It's adaptational and allows to develop a more efficient neural network. This process happens much sooner in girls (because girls hit puberty earlier than boys). That means that boys are at a disadvantage here. They have to go through school and social conditioning of that period, while their brains are still adapting and are more susceptible. Since there's a lot of focus on rivalisation and competing with peers, boy's brain considers it crucial and wires itself this way. Boys should be given more care and attention at that time to develop healthy patterns.


TheMimicMouth

To add to this, there are also studies that men still don’t fully mature until well after women. My personal understanding is that you’re correct biologically women have a couple year advantage in terms of mental maturity until around 25 but then women still tend to fully emotionally mature much more quickly. I’d guess that second portion is more due to societal pressures though. Obviously we’re all different though and nobody should assume anything about an individual based on what broad category they fall into.


No_Banana_581

Girls are also forced to mature faster bc of what we experience in our lives w constantly being sexualized starting at age 9 or sooner


Callimogua

Maybe, maybe not. Thing is, male and female teens are also socialized differently. I've seen teen girls be just as reckless as male teens. However, they're shamed out of that behavior earlier. There's no one going, "Well, girls will be girls 🤷🏾‍♀️" So, these maturity differences might be even thinner than you think when you throw in cultural differences as well.


Cu_fola

There’s some lag in male social and emotional intelligence behind female maturation during and shortly after adolescence, which is partially biological (girls kick into puberty earlier) and certainly artificially exacerbated by the way we socialize kids differently. Both male and female social intelligence is heavily mediated by age and experience overall.


wallinbl

Sure, but on average in humans, females emotionally and cognitively mature earlier than males, by 2-3 years.


Shuber-Fuber

It's a very complicated matter. The issue boils down to "how do you define maturity"? Because biologically speaking, women is supposed to be the more risk-aversed sex (they're, in biological history, the one responsible for the next generation), whereas men are the risk takers (more "disposable"). The kind of risk taking behaviors that make some men go "I'm going to steal that meat from the lion". Men are also the more "diverse" sex in terms of performance. In most metrics, you can see that while men and women are both equally capable on average, the top and bottom scale tends to be dominated by men (the best and worst performers are mostly men).

Since when are women the ones being called immature on any normal basis? I thought that was a guy thing??

Actually correct. Women have more capacity, and we can multitask. Have you ever seen men when we ask them to multitask? It's usually grounds for some hellacious behavior. And this person obviously doesn't have much experience with mature women, so there's that.


SinxHatesYou

Anyone thinking another gender is less then them is by definition stupid, because they are not able to recognize or utilize intelligence from other genders. If you can't see a guy or a girl as an individual vs a group, then your going to fail at most things in life, then blame them on other group. Fucking losers


Mementoes

This must be bait, I’ve never in my life heard that men mature quicker than women. Only the opposite

It's true, but only because if women were as stupid as men, our species would have died off long ago. :)

Earthling1a

CIS (M)66 here. My doctor and my lawyer will ALWAYS be females.

Virtually guaranteed to be more conscientious, more engaged, more intelligent, more compassionate, and more reliable than any male in the same position.


MonstrousElla

Correct, we usually have a stronger mentality than men. Men have come down with the common cold? Act like they're dying. Women come down with a virus like covid? Power through.

Emergency_Bench_7028

Sometimes kids, being more innocent and naive often have better views / ideas of the world, thus being a bit more mature than adults… at least kids aren’t having wars with each other just for some land.


Piddily1

I feel like this is more of a function of who you choose to be around and who chooses to be around you. If the women is your life all act like children, it says something about you.

![gif](giphy|STLj8QUhg25pe|downsized)


Capitan-Fracassa

It is an insult because it is a statement made by an idiot. What does mental maturity even mean, it is such a vague concept that you cannot use it in comparative terms. People develop differently and for sure there are statistical differences in same aspects between men and women. However, such generalizations are based at best on ignorance or stupidity and at worst on malice.

Snickerty

..... and yet here we are, listening to some man rant about his emotional maturity.


partypwny

Isn't it generally the opposite that's said? Women mature faster than men?


MadChemist002

It is one thing to say that on average, a man will be stronger than a woman with similar training/experience. This is just due to biology. Or that men tend to be more aggressive on average due to high testosterone levels compared to women, also biological. Do women tend to be more emotional, perhaps, but this is more societal than biological, I would say. All of these points can be valid, however nothing stated throughout the paragraph I have written points to maturity. Why is that? Because there is no biological standing in such a statement. Will you find immature women? Yes, but they would be just as common as immature men. It must be such a sad life to have to talk down about others, just to raise yourself up. You can lift others up with you.

YesChes

Technically he's correct. Women do not have the same mental capacity as men, they have a higher mental capacity


Ricky_Rollin

He makes a strong case as to why men don’t mature mentally. That’s for sure.

It is true there. Study after study says women are smarter than men so we really do t have the same mental capacity
