    Why Women Rally Around Women

    Support Kait: buymeacoffee.com/KaitWillettI'm going live on Behind Closed Doors to talk about a 2010 psychology paper that asked a question almost nobody wants to touch. If autism is the extreme male brain, where does the female extreme go?Two people sat in the same jury room in the Lindsay Clancy trial and came out with two completely different reasons for their vote. One said the jury saw a chance to make things better for other women. The other said what got him was how methodical and logical it was. I'm reading the paper, the research on empathy and in-group loyalty that came after it, and then putting it next to the Clancy jury room, the backlash the lone male juror faced from women including public commentators, and the "people's tribunal" outside Cornell.I'm also covering the double standard on cheating from a post I made last week, with the study that caught it, and where the female extreme shows up in marriage, kids and politics. And I'm telling you exactly what the paper doesn't say, because the person who went viral with it got that part wrong.For the full Cornell 7 case, documents and texts, watch my last live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjIiodV6_L8I'm taking your questions live, so jump into the chat and tell me where you think the female extreme goes.
