(Vanity) Why are so many liberal women "mean girls"?

Have just finished reading the numerous replies -- some of them truly heart breaking -- of this evening's post "Lost an Old Friend Today. Politics and the Personal"; and I find that far and away most of these intense,friendship-breaking liberals mentioned in these posts are women. (Obviously, not all.)

Add to this that in many news stories it seems to be chiefly women who protest this or that by climbing trees or running around with their blouses off; or that when it come to really off-the-wall legal ruling(s), college admin. decisions, local government declarations, etc. odds are pretty darn good that,well, cherchez le femme (Once again, obviously not all.)

So that got me wondering why are so many "everyday" (non-MSM types) female liberals so intense/noisy/nasty/passionate/insistent/mean spirited? The MSM types I can understand. After all, bad manners make good publicity, and good publicity sells more books, gets one more TV appearances, more time on the lecture circuit, etc.

But I'm talking about everyday liberal women who have nothing to gain, and so very much to lose.... Why do they do what they do and act the way they act?*

I'd sure like to here some opinions on that.

*(And IMHO not that many of them seem to mellow with age.)

They're mean because they don't like the slim pickings in men they get. Liberal women are good for a roll in the sack but not much else.

Hats off to your libido..I doubt I could handle that. I can imagine my attempt, with a little voice in the background, ruining everything, saying, "Sex with a liberal is the moral equivalent of bestiality".

Freud tackled this: Penis envy.

I must say, in all honesty, that liberal girls are better in bed, but also far dumber and easier (college years talking here).

Glad I am marrying a conservative!!!

[Flatus I. Maximus]

Not so much "better" as more experienced and easier to get into bed.

Conservative girls are far better in the long run, but that's the catch: you have to commit to the long run.

[mad_as_he$$]

ROFLMAO!!!!

My experience with liberal girlfriends is that they all madel like bunnies before they were married and the sex dried up after the wedding, or commitment service (we're talking liberal here).

My conservative women friends all are married and most have rollicking sex lives even in their forties and fifties.

Since the 60's women have been given carte blanche to act the way they want. No responsibilities. You're just seeing the most spoiled rotten of them act like the brats they are.

My experience suggests to me that for many people, men and women alike, politics has come to substitute faith in their lives. Liberalism, being emotionally and not rationally-based, appeals to those who are confused and are looking for a belief system that can be endlessly argued and justified, without the bother of dealing with factual evidence.
For men, this can address their spiritual needs to some extent, but for women the attraction is multilayered in that in addition to a thin veneer of spiritual comfort it provides a justification for militant feminism and a host of other Leftist "women's issues".
For women, it can not only supplant a true spiritual life but a home life as well. Women who have failed in dating, life and love find comfort in an ideology that tells them that it's all the man's fault.

Insightful. As a former lib I see myself in these and other observations on this thread.
When I was a lib, I was full of self-loathing, had issues with my mother, lived a very promiscuous lifestyle, tried just about every drug in the book, fancied myself a rebel & thought I was being cool, but was miserable, angry, constantly depressed and sporadically suicidal.

Then I turned myself around and cleaned up my act, accepted responsibility for my actions and emotions, started making a meaningful career for myself, returned to my faith, and overcame my depression and self-loathing.

Then I began to use the internet to educate myself on history, politics, and current events. Once I found that I could not support my former liberal beliefs with facts and evidence, I turned to the right, and have no intention of ever going back. Life, on every level, has never been better (although I can't help regret wasting all those "lost" years).

Single successful conservative women in liberal states face a very dismal reality, indeed. The chances of meeting a single conservative man are close to zero and the prospect of a liberal sissy man is repulsive.. :-(

I am talking from experience...

[ItCanHappenToYou]

Maybe the government should fund studies to what makes a liberal, nature or nurture? Throw in some IQ studies

---

It's been studied at the U of Michigan, using MRIs I believe. The thalmus gland is more active in liberals and more mute in conservatives.

I have looked, but have not been able to find the study online. I have only heard of it second hand from a colleague.

So caveat emptor, carpe diem, and all of that.

[sauropod]

Curtsey when you say that.

The same is true for a conservative man in Seattle seeking a conservative girl up here... that is why I am importing from Indonesia!

Any tips on the import of a conservative man? :-)

Can I use your channels? :-)

[ezo4]

same reason that they like there men with piercing on there tool and gross tattoos and then get a decease or date a guy that talks hip (because these women are usually stupid) and then leave them with a fatherless child.

[ezo4]

we should start converting these women up here. Im getting sick of it myself. Where you at?

The liberal people I have met are just the opposite. I know a liberal who is a doctor and she drives like nobody else is on the road. She is rude and never apologizes for anything she does. She doesn't accept responsibility for hurt feeling of children. She thinks that her needs are more important. She is typical of the Liberals I have met. I live in a major city and the Lib's I know are almost all very self-centered and arrogant. They one's in power are more than happy to spend the taxpayer's money on questionable charitable but never give of themselves or their own money. If they do they are in the minority.

I have made a close study of homo liberalis and have come to the conclusion that liberalism is largely rationalized bad behavior and attitudes. Liberals want to do as they please, think that they are entitled to want they want and when things go wrong (as they are likely to do), want someone else to save them from the consequences of their folly. In other words, liberalism is nothing more complicated than the outlook on life of a spoiled, self-centered 12-year-old. To a lesser degree, too, liberalism is moral grandstanding, feigning concern for faceless strangers while being strikingly indifferent and even cruel to people around them.

I have yet to meet even one who would volunteer to enlist in the military even before the wars to do something for their country.

Serving in the military requires self-sacrifice and bravery, among other things. Modern-day liberals are cowards because they are selfish and, in their eyes, nothing is worth personally risking their lives for. They won't admit that, of course, even to themselves, so they cook up elaborate rationalizations for their cowardice.

Liberals are parasitic upon conservative police officers, firefighters and, ultimately, soldiers to put their lives on the line for them.

Insightful.

Thank you for your compliment  :-)

I'm very sorry to hear of the pain that you have experienced.

Congratulations!  Wooo Hooo!

I would suggest that those years were not lost, as they contributed to providing the solid foundation in life and outlook that you now enjoy.  Because you have seen the world from both sides, you have a frame of reference that people who have always been one way or the other will never have.  It's a valuable frame of reference, because the truths that you now embrace are based not upon upbringing, habit or indoctrination but on an evaluation of all things and a rational comparison of their attributes.  This is the foundation of modern scientific analysis and has been proven to be the most universally valid.

As to the mechanism of your transformation, I am guessing that I am a bit older than you (44) and when my transformation occurred it was during a time when there was no internet, no talk radio and only the MSM.

I remember being a regular listener to Pat Buchanan as he would debate Michael Kinsley (was it FrontLine or Firing Line?  One of those TV programs I think) and I remember being shocked at the rudeness of Kinsley, who would constantly interrupt Buchanan with shrill and emotional hysteria.  Pat Buchanan, on the other hand, would calmly refute all of Kinsley's 'arguments' in a courteous and rational manner...Pat's ideas were grounded in logic, and his manner was that of a gentleman...a huge contrast to Kinsley.  I decided that I preferred the side of logic, honor, courtesy and reason to the side of shrill and rude hysteria.  Although Pat has changed a lot since those days and the validity of his current views are less clear to me now than they were then, I still credit him for setting me on the right path.

I only wish that my friends had had a similar transformation.

But for you, I would echo Rush's words to transformed liberals who call his show and say "Welcome Home"

Yes, tell me about it, fellow New Jerseyan

So that got me wondering why are so many "everyday" (non-MSM types) female liberals so intense/noisy/nasty/passionate/insistent/mean spirited?

Could it be PMSM?
