He wrote in the article you linked:

Quote:Violence is different for women than it is for men. Unlike men, they don’t tend to get into fistfights with strangers after an escalating series of insults.

I don't have that tendency he ascribes to men. If it comes to insults at all, of course. While it may well be true that men on the whole fight more often than women, and it's certainly true that when physically attacked I have no qualms about striking back, the notion that men tend to fistfighting after insults is a shopworn stereotype -- a generalization, and a false one, at that -- in my view.

Ahhhh, I see. I was like whhhhat??  Big Grin

I think we can all generalize from time to time, but Sam Harris borders on sexist, imo. I just don't like him.
