why are so many women evolutionarily inclined to be liberal/socialist/communist/fascist? my observation is that many more women than men seem to fit these categories, which imho differ only in degree. my own conjecture: women have been evolved to submit to the force and power of authority. in prehistory, women, having generally less strength and less weight than men, have taken follower social status as the primary way in which both they and their offspring maximize their survival and reproduction chances. the us constitution upholds minimal government. minimal government is antithetical to maximum force and maximum power. thus, the us constitution...

Women are just angry all the time about something.This woman is articulate enough for women to not listen carefully to her proposals. The feed our families line got the applause when there's plenty of food out there. 'That little girl was me' caught Biden off guard. All heart no brain voters.

Here's an interesting exchange between NBC News and former Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz that happened just now: NBC: Donald Trump's remarks about Judge Curiel, are his concerns legitimate? Cruz: Of course it's inappropriate to be attacking a federal judge's race or ethnicity. You're going to have ask Donald to explain the reason he says the things he does. I'm not going to try to do so. NBC: Ben Sasse said that what Donald Trump said about the judge is pure definition of racism. Is Donald Trump a racist? Cruz: As I said, it is obviously inappropriate to attack a...

A new 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll offers what is, I think, a somewhat misleading way to look at Sarah Palin. The poll finds that 59% of Americans and 40% of Republicans don't think she'd make an "effective president" -- numbers that come very close to disqualifying her even in the primary, if she chooses to run. This trouble imagining President Palin is constant across the polling since soon after she was chosen as John McCain's running mate, and it reflects both her own lack of experience and the higher bar set for a woman -- Hillary Clinton did years of...

Child Support Solution: What does it solve? May 25, 2005 by Roger F. Gay Earlier this month, an article was published announcing; Child Support Guideline Problem Solved. It reported that Project for the Improvement of Child Support Litigation Technology (PICSLT) has presented a formula that was derived by focusing first on the logic of child support decisions rather than gross statistics. The article link was posted in several discussion forums where people with interest in the issue were able to comment. The first concern voiced by readers is that the article did not provide details about the solution. I...

MORE women than ever are wrecking their marriages by having affairs, say divorce experts. Lawyers reckon the number of adulterous wives is set to overtake cheating blokes. They say having their own incomes, contraception, being better liars and today’s social climate makes it easier for women to cheat. One recent survey of splits that claimed adultery as the cause found 45 per cent named the wives as the cheats. Psychologist Susan Quillam, a relationship counsellor, says today’s women are more willing to take risks. She says: “Years ago, if you had an affair and your man threw you out you’d...

Congress Sends a Message: Men's Health Doesn't CountOctober 14, 2002by Dianna Thompson and Glenn Sacks The disturbing health and mortality disparities between American whites and blacks are well known, but most people do not realize that the health and mortality disparities between women and men are just as great. For example, the gap in life expectancy between whites and blacks is six years, while the gender gap is 5.7 years.  Adjusted for age, men are 1.6 times as likely as women to die from one of the top 10 causes of death, and blacks are 1.5 times as likely...
