The majority of voters are people willing to swallow Obama's fairy stories, obviously.

You can't have it both ways; either way you figure it, it's men's fault.

If the nation's women voted for Obama, obviously the men in their lives didn't exercise proper discipline...

Agreed. Act like a child, get treated like a child.

Also, for some, it's foreplay.

(btw, McClintock is probably the only John Wayne movie I dislike, other than the UnDefeated).


Of course, it'd be much better to treat women as equals and beat the hell out of them when they get obnoxiously out of line...

Every household a barfight...

I think there's truth in what BambiB says, but I don't think it's (necessarily) inherent in women.
Consider the black vote, that went 98% or some such for Obama. Is that some genetic failing of black people? Some black propensity for supporting Marxism? One could point at all the failed Marxist states in Africa as further example.

No, I don't think it's genetic. Consider what BambiB said about Wyoming and other States running deficits. Women have been in their own world for decades, primarily centered around family life and civic interactions... and not educated about national/world affairs the way men were. They're not going to make consistently wise and reasoned decisions, and will in large part have to go on "feelings" about issues.

It's why would-be dictators everywhere have supported "democracy" for ignorant masses, and then fought to keep them ignorant. Stalin, Mao, Castro, Ho Chi Minh... hell, it goes all the way back to the French Revolution.

maybe she's a Moslem, did *that* ever occur to you? No. You Objectivists are all alike...

Back in the mid '80s, buried in a science magazine, there was an article about a study that was done.
Men and women were tested for their views on justice. The men tended to think that justice was a matter of rewarding good behavior and punishing bad behavior.
The women tended to think that justice lay in doing the least harm to the smallest number of people.

The conclusion drawn was that men in hunting parties had to do the right thing or somebody got killed, or at least they went home empty handed.
The women, on the other hand, were back at base camp, with the elderly, children and infirm to look after. They were sitting on a kettle pot of social conflict, and their interest would primarily be in keeping things peaceful. The gathering they did didn't require specific behavior to stay alive, or usually even to acquire food.
Due to the differing social dynamic, a schism in thinking occurred.

So, yes, this study might be used to suggest that women have a greater affinity for socialism than do men. This, not surprisingly, mimics what I've learned from experiencing and actually speaking with women.

screwed without benefit of intercourse I believe the technical term is...

Aw man, I kept thinking you meant Rush Limbaugh til I followed the link.

I just want to take this opportunity to point out that BambiB is NOT a stealth account of mine...

The voters elected them. At least, the majority of voters did. The majority of voters would be... women.

Connect the dots yet?

What? Khaling the Amazonian?

Repeal the 19th Amendment.

Wow, Mimi, your knowledge of history seriously sucks!

Wyoming was the first state to grant women the right to vote in 1869. It began to run deficits almost immediately. Over the next 50 years, about 25 states gave women the vote. In each case, they began to run deficits, while states that had NOT given women the vote did NOT run deficits. Neighboring states - women get the vote in one, not in the other. The one where they get the vote? Instant deficits. In 1920 when the remaining states and the Feral government gave women the vote, all began to run deficits.

If you can think of another factor that would cause a state to NOT run deficits BEFORE women get the vote, but uniformly caused states to run deficits AFTER women began voting, and which took place over a period of 50 years - let's hear it.

As for following "strict dogma", I'm just tired of watching women (whose knowledge of economics is, on average, 5 times worse than men's) ruin America with their "charge it" mentality. Aren't you?
