comment on this video | report broken

Will boys always be boys and girls always be girls? Will we ever really understand each other? You may be shocked by your conclusions. Prepare yourself for an intimate, erotic examination of physical differences between the sexes, from body fat to brain power. See Turkish men demonstrate their suitability as mates by wrestling in olive oil. Celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans, where women bare their breasts to entice men to reward them with strings of beads. Observe women who flaunt their femininity as exotic dancers, and female body builders who develop their muscles to the point of masculinity. Examine brain scans that show that men and women even think differently about the same problems.

Woonderful. One of th best documentaries I've ever seen. It's not biased, realistic, and it puts emphasis on love, tolerance and equality.

Good show, well done.

Wile there were lots of good points made, there were equally lots of really wild and just plain incorrect speculation on the evolutionary origins of many of our peculiar human behaviours.

But I guess that's what one should expect from anthropology; as opposed to a real science. ; )

Very interesting. Quite a time investment to watch them all, but I learned much.

The episodes that discussed marriage actually strengthened my resistance to same sex marriage.

For some reason Part 4 of "The Human Sexes" does not play. I've tried to engage it over several weeks to no avail.
