Former IndyCar and NASCAR driver, Danica Patrick and her podcast have seen some eminent guests appear throughout the years. This time clinical psychologist and personality Jordan Peterson came to one of her episodes, where Peterson stated, that men and women have different levels of sensitivity to negative emotions.
Peterson said, “Women become more sensitive to negative emotions than men when they hit puberty. Not before and it never goes away after that. Right, so it’s a permanent transformation. Patrick asks “Even after menopause?” Peterson responds, well yeah, men and women get more stable as they get older but the difference between men and women doesn’t seem to attenuate.”

He then added, “So now, Women became sexually vulnerable at puberty so that would be one reason why they became more sensitive to danger right? I mean there are plenty of places in the world where you wouldn’t walk alone.”

Patrick stated, “I mean, everything from racing to listening to people says things about you to bad days on the racetrack and how to deal with them. You come back to the bus and I’d be like Oh, God. Why? 36? I’m so bad.” And you would just have these really flooding moments of self-doubt and insecurity.”
