Sex Was Invented, Not Discovered: The Shocking History from Greeks to Freud
Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud
What if everything you know about male and female bodies is a lie? In "Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud," historian Thomas Laqueur drops a bombshell: the two-sex model we take for granted is a relatively recent invention. For centuries, the one-sex model dominated—women were just inverted, inferior men. Then, in the 18th century, politics and culture demanded a radical biological split. This video breaks down Laqueur's game-changing research, from ancient anatomy to Freud's couch, revealing how power, not just nature, built our ideas of sex. Watch now and never look at gender the same way again.
