Many men can be stupid too. If their depiction on modern media shows and commercials is any indication, white men shouldn't be allowed to vote. The kingdom form of government may be best, except for the royalty getting rich and and inbred. Possibly a 9-king council sworn to middle class wealth would be a better form of government, similar to how the Supreme Court works. To get there we'd have to start a completely new country though. Voting/democracy is way overrated. No successful business is run that way.
Let’s not be politically correct. Women generally vote for liberals. Even in 2010, they went for the Dems 49 to 48 (most people wouldn’t guess that). In contrast, white men vote more rationally than any other major group. If only white men voted, we would have a very, very conservative government. And Pat Buchanan probably would have won the presidency in 2006.
Chivalry is fine, but not when it makes us deny the obvious.
Similar to their biological smaller size and strength, on average, with wide deviation at the individual level, the female brain is physically about 10% smaller than the average male brain. That is reflected in unbiased testing, such as the MCAT used to get into medical school. It used to be reflected in SAT scores until that underwent extensive social engineering. A smaller brain is also strongly reflected in voting patterns. No matter how smart or stupid someone is, people fairly accurately assess where they stand on the bell curve and decide whether they benefit most from higher or lower taxes on the producers.
My post has a typo. I should have written that Buchanan would have won in 1996.
Yes, and the smaller brain size does correlate to lower intelligence as well. This has been demonstrated through scientific testing, although you wouldn’t know it listening to the feminist-spun articles that report on the subject.
I have said here on FR (I know the Palin people hate me for this) that Palin does not look the part of a president. She needs to be several years older, wear a suit and get rid of her dress that seems to be trying to appeal to a generation that is too naive to really care about things that are important. This means getting rid of the girlish painted toenails, too.
Bachmann much more looks the part, she's older and dresses a bit more matronly but probably not enough.
This author is right on the money about the men. Christy may be an interesting study. Frankly, I think that if Christy were to run for president, he would look authoritative and would get serious consideration. I have even heard that the heaviest candidate ususally wins. I have not researched that but if both Palin and Bachmann were heavier, it would probably help. They look too demure and fragile to be tough.
Fixed.
Unmarried men also generally vote for liberals—although they vote more conservative than unmarried females (who seem truly to represent the "nut" vote).
But yes, if Women's Sufferage were no longer suffered, as Ann Coulter recommends, the country would be much better run. The reason, I believe, is that a big bloc of voters with little stake in the survival of society (i.e., other women's families) and a huge stake in government handouts wouldn't be voting.
There’s no empirical evidence to your or the writer’s thesis.
No viable, attractive female candidates have lost in the US, but certainly attractive, viable female candidates have won in other countries. Argentina is a good recent example, but it’s not the only one.
With both men and women, people assume a certain lesser intelligence with stunning good looks. That’s especially so with athletic men. But attractiveness wins out in leadership over and over again. Would be nice if that weren’t the case, but it is.
Scot, let me fix your fixin’. The stats are EXACTLY as I presented them: women, as a group, vote for liberals. However, it is true that unmarried women are far more likely to do so. It’s also true that in certain cases-and 2008 was one of them-a majority of married women vote for conservatives.
This area of election stats has interested me ever since urinalists started talking about the "gender gap" long about the Walter Mondale period. I was interested to note it was really a marriage gap. It always broke out that married women voted Republican, except in Stalinist enclaves.
But basically we are noticing the same thing. To your point, married women vote a little more liberal than married men. And as I said, whereas unmarried men tend to vote for stone-cold-hedonist-drugs-and-abortion, unmarried women store their brains on a distant moon of Jupiter.
