It's now been scientifically proven that the wimpier the guy, the more likely he is to be a socialist. No kidding.
According to a new study, physically weaker men are more prone to support socialism, a trend psychologists say may be because they feel they can’t compete against stronger men and are therefore consider inequality more threatening.
According to the Times, U.K., Brunel University ran a study on 171 men, measuring everything from their strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference. What the university found was that the physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth.
The physically stronger men, on the other hand, were a lot more prone to backing capitalism, and said they supported the idea of naturally dominant social groups.
“This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society,” explained the university’s own Michael Price. “Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.”
“Of course this isn’t rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university,” he added. “Lots of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies.”
Still, Price says, it’s pretty amazing to see how natural dominant instinct plays out in today’s society, where weaker guys appear to find a lot more value in others being forced to share the wealth.

Dunno why wimpy guys would want socialism. They would be the first to drop dead in a place like Venezuela.
DANG!

And in today’s weather, the sun rose and the wind blew.
Okay, here is my opinion....
When I grew up in the 50-60’s men were MEN...they acted like MEN, they looked like MEN...
I see these people in the shopping centers and around and I sometimes have to take a second look to see if they are girls or not...
If I was looking, which I’m not, I don’t see anything that would turn my head and make me go ‘oh boy’...
Mothers: Treat your ‘little boys’ like MEN...don’t treat them like ‘girls’...they will be a lot happier!!!
Yeah, they’re wimpy until they get into power. Then they turn into Strelnikov, from Doctor Zhivago.
In my exposure socialists always have issues with their fathers and conservatives seldom do.
A big 'ol Sylvester the Cat "SHEESH!". d:^)
I’m younger than you and see the change, too. If they’re not obese they’re pale, skinny and smaller than average. I blame Ritalin or Adderal for the little ones. You’ve got to get out into the country beyond any hint of urban to begin encountering young men who look like they’re supposed to look, in my opinion. That makes me suspect municipal water, too, maybe estrogen from birth control pills leeching into the water supply, or who knows maybe the environuts were right for once and plastic is doing it. But, they are different and I’m talking 70’s - 80’s.
Well... yes.
We get to laugh at everyone!
Captain Obvious strikes again!
Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be babies...
From the observations of a teacher, I believe it is a problem.
That didn't last long.
They needed a study to figure that out?
This study was endorsed by Robert Reichhhhhhhhhhh.
Horse manure!!!!! Socialism is about control of the masses. This is about limp-wristed, physically impotent men having the desire to control other people and their opportunities. It means they are sick, insecure, pathetic narcissists with latent desires of being tyrannical, psychopathic dictators.
