Exploiting a typical young person’s lack of self-esteem and self-confidence, dismissing someone intellectually, and ridiculing their point of view as stupid is a tactic that’s always been used by leftist academics to intimidate students into distancing themselves from people that the left despises. (Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, Ronald Reagan, et al weren’t “wrong” they were “stupid.”)

Notice how the Left’s comics and entertainers use that tactic with their audience, which consists of young people and liberals who’ve been indoctrinated into that judgement system.

Or, as has happened with me and some others I know, when they find themselves face to face with someone obviously smarter and more informed than they are, they trade “stupid” for “crazy”.

your post #18 is very good. notice that all that you describe, is emotion.
while women can absolutely be just as smart, it is a fact that their brain areas for emotion overlap more than mens.
so they are more vulnerable to the emotional lies propaganda etc of the MSM.
...notice that women here, often speak out stronger on issues than men. the difference is, the women here, know the real facts and reality.
probably the biggest single difference, of ANY demograhic, age, race, etc., is single women vrs. married women.
