A post previously published in this space regarding a study about how hormones may influence voting choices has been removed.

After further review it was determined that some elements of the story did not meet the editorial standards of CNN.

We thank you for your comments and feedback.

The "comments" related to this article indicate that it must have been a real winner.

Suzanne
This is offensive in its claims. CNN, stop covering useless information that perpetuates discrimination.

Catherine
Thank you! This reads like an "Onion" article. CNN, you should be ashamed. There's a reason CNN is going under- your shameless lack of integrity.

Anyone remember when CNN wasn't terrible?

Michelle
The article was offensive. Shame on CNN!

Preposterous. CNN has no standards.

“the story did not meet the editorial standards of CNN.”

Those standards can be summed up as...Anything that makes liberal Dems appear smarter than conservative voters.

Then they turned and yelled at their husbands.

In the world of science, disagreement with the conclusions of a study does not automatically invalidate those conclusions.

However, contemporary science has been corrupted by politics.

Pretty touchy over there at CNN....must be “that time of the month” or something.

The left HATES the reality that women and men are different. They just can’t accept that.

God’s curse to Eve was that she’d desire the role of the man, but he’d rule over her. Women can shake their fists and stamp their feet at God or they can face reality.

If it didn’t match the standards of CNN, we will probably see it on MSNBC.

I did happen to skim the article on this that is currently on the HuffPo (which is verboten here, for good reason).

Anyway, the article cited a study claiming that women tended to vote in a more liberal direction when their hormones surged.

Here's an excerpt via Twitchy:

The researchers found that during the fertile time of the month, when levels of the hormone estrogen are high, single women appeared more likely to vote for Obama and committed women appeared more likely to vote for Romney, by a margin of at least 20%, [researcher Kristina Durante] said. This seems to be the driver behind the researchers’ overall observation that single women were inclined toward Obama and committed women leaned toward Romney.

Here’s how Durante explains this: When women are ovulating, they “feel sexier,” and therefore lean more toward liberal attitudes on abortion and marriage equality. Married women have the same hormones firing, but tend to take the opposite viewpoint on these issues, she says.

“I think they’re overcompensating for the increase of the hormones motivating them to have sex with other men,” she said. It’s a way of convincing themselves that they’re not the type to give in to such sexual urges, she said.

Pointing out that many liberal women vote with their crotch is unacceptable! < /sarc >

[Buckeye McFrog]

So Obama was using Project HAARP to synchronize all of their menstrual cycles so they’d all go into massive PMS on Nov. 7 and vote Democrat. What a diabolical plot!

....God’s curse to Eve was that she’d desire the role of the man, but he’d rule over her. Women can shake their fists and stamp their feet at God or they can face reality.

Come on, woman can read what God said to EVE. Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman (notice it said to the woman not a perpetual curse upon women) He said, "I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee."

God did not say this was a curse upon women, it was Eve who indeed had twins and one killed the other one. And there is NO doubt what Adam's mentality was by his own words. And apparently the majority of men since Adam ignore that mentality.

I fully realize this is not a 'religious' thread, but some of US do not split hairs over reality of WHO is in control, so I am going to type the chat God had with the Adam, since you felt the need to selectively write things that God did not say.

Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife his themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

Genesis 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, "Where art thou?"

10 And *he* (Adam) said, "I heard Thy voice in the garden and I was afraid, because I was 'naked'; and I hid myself."

11 And HE said, "Who told thee that thous was naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?" (notice this is a question only and alone to Adam.)

And the man said, "The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

You are correct about the left does indeed want woman to be just like man. Blame everyone else for what they do themselves.... Look at Obama, he is in a perpetual state of blaming everything on President Bush. Liberalism in its raw form and men are no less accountable than those women.

[MrB]

Yep, all parties, except the snake, blamed someone else.

Adam blamed the woman AND GOD HIMSELF (for giving him the woman),
Eve blamed the serpent.
