They have had their paper describing a study they conducted on the subject printed in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

“University of California and the University of Amsterdam”

I can’t imagine a more liberal, more feminized university combination than those two institutions of lower living.

Then there’s Hillary with her FAKE flash of anger, attempting to divert attention from the abandonment of four Americans: “What difference does it make ....?”

From the end of the article:

” Oddly, the researchers chose to not interview the volunteers to learn whether they were using anger intentionally or if it was an inadvertent response that came about without them having to even think about it.”

No face to face interaction...........................what a bunch of pussies.

That's some study. I guess machismo and masculinity of men has so been lost by our nanny state culture that this is now foreign to the human race and in need of study?

Wow; I wonder if anyone ever suggested this as a tactic for football and basketball coaches.

“p*ss!es”

Please don’t use that word to describe a weakling.

That part of a woman is both beautiful and unbelievably strong, all at the same time. There is no more beautiful proof of the genius and love of our Creator than when He made woman to be the perfect companion of man.

May I suggest they go to a Philadelphia Eagles game or a Oakland Raiders game and start calling the local fans names...hell, even the Eagles and Raiders females are more manly than most men found in in berzerkly.

Manipulation and anger.....This must have been done in Chicago....

The old "I'm gonna beat the sh** out of you if you don't give me your wallet."

Then there are the cops that got away with beating up that homeless man.

LOL.

But see, if the grant junkies had asked that question, then they wouldn't be able to apply for Phase II calling for further study.

I meant the feline kind. :)

Having said that, I’m suer these “researchers” probably got beat up on the playground on a regular basis.

In general, I've found that men who can't control their anger, can't control their schlong, can't control their drinking, can't control almost anything else.

I have zero trust and zero respect for them and will go out of my way to avoid doing business with them.

A person who is fully driven by their appetites and passions is most likely a liberal and not a real man or woman.

"Can't control" being the operative note there, we agree. That said, there are a great many techniques and strategies to employ when negotiating in business. Using anger can be effective in some circumstances. But it is tricky and should be a calculated and intended use as opposed to "out of control". Those who use it constantly are typically not that good at negotiating and are far less successful. Those of us that have been around a while are not easily intimidated and will use that hyper state of aggression and emotion against you. ;o)
