I havent watched the whole thing yet (nor will I porbably), but it is obvious from the way that YY J is trying to bring himslef down to the level of what he thinks is his audince that he is a big beliver in the gemoroh that says "אשֶׁלֹּא יְלַמֵּד אָדָם אֶת בִּתּוֹ תּוֹרָה. מִפְּנֵי שֶׁרֹב הַנָּשִׁים... מְכֻוֶּנֶת לְהִתְלַמֵּד אֶלָּא הֵן מוֹצִיאוֹת דִּבְרֵי תּוֹרָה לְדִבְרֵי הֲבַאי לְפִי עֲנִיּוּת דַּעְתָּן."
- "a man shall not instruct his daughter in the Torah, because women have no set mind to be instructed ... and are apt to divert matters of the Torah to nonsensical matters in proportion to the inferiority of their mind".
- הלכות תלמוד תורה א׳:י״ג

Hes talking as if hes talking to babies.

  The Rabbi's tone was not because he was speaking to women. Its because he was speaking to GIRLS. And its precisely becuase he understands his audience, that his tone is SPOT ON. How do I know? Bc I have 3 teenage girls at home... hope this helps

Many quotable quotes from the shiur:
"If it's true you don't have to be afraid of questions. If it might be a lie, I'm afraid of questions because you might expose the lie".
"When something is true, you're not afraid of investigation ".
"If you know you're legitimate, you don't care if someone scrutinizes you, there's nothing to hide".
"When you have the answers, you're not afraid of questions".
"If you have something to hide you shy away from questions".
"Truth is worth fighting for".
