In a hilarious takedown, münecat returns after a year with special focus on men who rationalize their sexism with bunk science.

    This video has good points but also deviates from The scientific consensus on the generic heritability of mental health conditions.

    I also felt that parts of it were disability-positivist, which for me personally I interpret as ableist. Saying that schizophrenia isn’t something people suffer from, it’s just schizophrenia in the context of current society really rubbed me the wrong way.

    Normally like münecat’s videos but between this and the defending-domestic-abuse/Caroline-Flack part of one of her previous videos some of her beliefs are really harmful.

      People are often weird about the intersection of genetics and psychology generally. When I was in HS a kid tried to tell me that intelligence wasn’t heritable because genetics didn’t play a role. When I pointed out that people with genetically-linked intellectual disabilities exist, they said that it was different. Apparently they didn’t understand that disabilities are a result of (among other things) genetic variations and not the other way around.

      I did not watch but I have had experience with schizophrenia and its about the worst thing to me outside of alzheimers.
