A study, led by UK Brunel University London psychologist Dr. Michael Price, found that physically weaker men are more in favor of socialism (“social and economic equality”) than stronger men.
The study by Michael Price, Jennifer Sheehy-Skeffington (London School of Economics), psychologist James Sidnaius (Harvard U.), and psychologist Nicholas Pound (Brunel U. London), “Is sociopolitical egalitarianism related to bodily and facial formidability in men?,” is published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, 38:5 (September 2017), pp. 626-634.
Citing prior research showing several aspects of male face shape and appearance, such as height-to-width ratio, to be linked to ability to compete for resources in the modern world, the Brunel study employed the following methodology:
As the study puts it:
Our study tested … 171 men, using two sociopolitical egalitarianism measures: social dominance orientation and support for redistribution. Predictors included bodily formidability and attractiveness and four facial measures (attractiveness, dominance, masculinity, and width-to-height ratio). We also controlled for time spent lifting weights, and experimentally manipulated self-perceived formidability in an attempt to influence egalitarianism.
Physically weak as in Soy Boys?
Pajama boy?
They’re hoping for redistribution of muscles. Or of the results of having muscles.
Pajama boy and all the weak-sister hipsters.
That seems obvious.
And socialism makes them weak.
That does not surprise me. I personally believe socialism is a feminine culture government. In that in say it is group instead of independent individualism.

Losers in general always think it is unfair that they are losers. hillary is a classic example. They will never except personal responsibility for being a loser.
How about all the big black dudes voting Democrat?
Whether he knows it or not, I’m pretty sure Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) volunteered for the study.

Beta males want the big daddy of government to look after them.
They influx of beta males and beta/omega presidents (both Bush’s and Obozzo) are why we are in this mess
... and stupid and/or brainwashed people.
I guess the study could be true.
It is a certain thing that males (and females, and those somewhere in-between) who are MENTALLY weak prefer socialism too.
I don’t think it has to do with physical strength.
More like “mentally weak” men favor socialism.
Makes sense. The rest of us prefer to make our own way.
I would say Liberal males are emotionally weak.
