Newsweek ^ | November 20, 2017 | Sydney Pereira

Muscles and money are qualities that straight women and gay men typically find attractive in men, according to an analysis of Tube Crush—a website where people post unsolicited pictures of men seen on the London Underground. The study at Coventry and Aberystwyth universities in the United Kingdom, published in Feminist Media Studies in August, analyzed images over a period of three years since 2014. The “guy candy” posted on the website were mostly white men—despite London being a multicultural city—indicating that white male privilege is still an attractive quality.

Can a young handsome man commit sexual harassment? It seems like everyone accused of it looks like Franken or Weinstein or a fossil like Rose

And in other news, water is wet.

Despite the best efforts of SJWs and other Leftists, biology is still a hard thing to overcome.

Because this answers the physiological and safety needs as identified by Maslow.

We are hardwired for these things and no amount or retraining is going to change that.

Having manners as a guy is a good thing long term, underrated by pop culture as well, considering all the dolt men they put on TV and elsewhere in entertainment.

>>In my experience, women who are mature are mostly attracted to the person who is stable mentally, emotionally, and financially.

I was talking about women who are still making healthy babies without expensive medical interventions. That’s the 35 and under women. Most of them are still attracted to the bad boy with muscles...or the old man with money.

I agree that “mature” women definitely seek out stability.

Probably yes, good looking guy could be accused of sexual harrassment. Just look at all the college football players who get accused of that and much worse. You wouldn’t think they would need to resort to violence to get a girl.
They don’t, but they act up anyway, because they can.
For many harassers, it may all be about a display of power.

Sexual harassment occurs when men who look like Franken, Weinstein, or Rose - momentarily drunk on power or fame - decide to act like they are handsome young men. :)

Why would gender roles “progress”? Gender is a fixed characteristic.

When was the last time there was a complaint against Robert Redford?

Winter of 1973-74, back when Mrs. JimRed and I were kidless and skiing at Snowbird in Utah. We were on a moderately difficult slope and she was a bit behind me and to my right. I checked my speed a bit to have her catch up, and she suddenly was going head over teakettle past me. When she slid to a stop, I went to help her up. She started pointing up the mountain and babbling incoherently. There were two guys stopped about 50 feet above us, and they were the objects of her pointing. Yep, one of them was Robert Redford. Darn near killed her, that Redford!

;^)

Feminism is best understood when it is understood that at its core it is an anti fertility cult founded by mutated women.

Rush Limbaugh: I have long told you, for example, Undeniable Truth of Life No. 24, written back in 1987: Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream of society.

Sydney hopes to write about those topics in order to to uncover social justice issues and health disparities.

And when she does not find them, she'll make some up!
