The biggest gender difference in Norway

The author Erlend Loe and Annie Lööf, head of the Swedish Center Party, are invited with Peterson. In an excerpt from the episode of the evening, Lööf vigorously opposes Peterson's assertion that biology is the main difference between men and women.

Peterson thinks that there are essentially two differences, biological and cultural, but that in society where gender equality reigns, biological difference takes over. He pleads in this direction by showing that there are more women in the health sector and more men in the engineering sector.

Wednesday of this week admitted Canadian Professor Oslo Concert Hall. When the tickets for the conference were published this summer, it did not take more than an hour before they were sold.

Tonight, he takes the same theme on Skavlan.

war of words

"To become an engineer, you have to be more concerned about things than people, and most of them are men.If you want to become a nurse, you need to be more concerned about people than things, and most of them Among them are women.This leads to differences in the choice of professions, especially in Norway.This is because of biological differences, "says Peterson.

He believes that these biological differences are not negative.

– Here's a part of what you want to ask yourself: what is the purpose of setting up the community so that there is maximum resemblance to the opportunities? And one of the answers is that you maximize the free choice. It also maximizes the differences in people's choices. You can not have both, he says.

Löof is not in agreement and thinks that the choices have nothing to do with gender differences.

"I also think about how we raise kids, our way of life, our education, our culture and our attitudes, that it's about a boy or a girl." 39, a girl who grows up.And if I raise my daughter so that she becomes a leader, have confidence in her and have a higher education, I think that she wants a good platform for to become a civil engineer, a senior manager of a company or a nurse, "she says.

Peterson defends himself by saying that this is the attitude of those who believe that the difference between men and women is culturally constructed.

"But that's not what the evidence shows," Peterson told Lööf.

"I do not agree," Lööf replied.
