I don't know what he said in the video, but it sounds a bit like he may have been thinking about Big Five and e.g. the agreeableness trait:
Or dark triad traits:Most research looking into the links between gender and personality have found small to moderately-sized gender differences. In terms of the personality traits known as the Big Five, men tend to score lower than women in neuroticism and agreeableness, and to a lesser degree, certain facets of extraversion (e.g., warmth) and openness to experience (e.g., feelings; see Chapman, Duberstein, Sörensen, & Lyness, 2007; De Bolle et al., 2015; Feingold, 1994; Weisberg, DeYoung, & Hirsh, 2011). As noted earlier, social role theory posits gender differences in personality will be smaller in nations with more egalitarian gender roles, gender socialization and sociopolitical gender equity. Investigations of Big Five traits evaluating this prediction have found, in almost every instance, the observed cross-cultural patterns of gender differences in personality strongly disconfirm social role theory (see also Schmitt, 2015; Schmitt et al., 2016).1
Most studies measuring people's Dark Triad personality traits have found significant gender differences (Grijalva et al., 2014; Jonason, Li, Webster, & Schmitt, 2009), with men typically scoring higher in Machiavellianism (d = 0.27), Narcissism (d = 0.16), and psychopathy (d = 0.67; see Schmitt et al., 2016).From a 2016 review in the International Journal of Psychology, where more traits are discussed.[...] larger gender differences in Machiavellianism were found in relatively high gender egalitarian cultures of Iceland (d = 0.61), New Zealand (d = 0.60), Denmark (d = 0.55) and the Netherlands (d = 0.53). Smaller gender differences in Machiavellianism were found in less gender egalitarian cultures such as Malaysia (d = −0.10), Ethiopia (d = −0.09), South Korea (d = −0.07) and Tanzania (d = −0.01).
