Wonderful personal attack in place of rational response. Shame on you.

The women on this forum are considerably different then the bulk of women voters. Utterly absurd to ignore the facts about how women vote to go into a ridiculous diversionary rant about the women on this forum.

LOOK at the facts. Don't just go into knee jerk defending women mode and actually think about the problem.

Too many women are casting emotional ballots. They not voting for their best interests, they voting based on how the Dems make them FEEL.

Men operate on the perceived facts, while women operate on their perception of the facts and their feelings. This is why the MSMs are so keen to supply their slanted version of the facts to the various sections of the population so as to sway the consensus.

Stop the propaganda and present the facts (not feelings) and much of these divisions will resolve itself...

-—women operate on their perception of the facts and their feelings.-—

And then, they develop a consensus that protects them from screwing up and acting on their own in some manner outside the consnesus

It really very simple

Men are biologically wired to want as little restriction as possible on their freedom

Women are biologically wired to want stability and safety.

GOP promises to leave you alone

Dems promise to take care of you.

For all the Feminist ranting, most women do not vote as “strong independent women”. Instead the vote for the Government to be their new daddy.

“College educated means college indoctrinated. If I had life to live over starting at this year, I would skip college even though I got an engineering degree.”

All one has to do to get an idea what “College educated” means in today’s world is watch Jessy Waters interviews on a college campus. Dumb as a box of hair!

I’m hearing that in a certain highly contested senate race in the west the gap is 30. Men favor Rs by 30 points.

My husband’s 25 year old niece is one. She and her sister cried when Hillary lost, they went to a Hillary rally. Fortunately she does not drive, does not attend college or have a job, so there are not too many people she influences. Her younger sister has been taken in by the lie.

And the biggest gains are, in contrast with the last 30 years, in blue-collar jobs and downscale earnings.

IOW, the segement of the public which hold real jobs and do actual work, eh?

I do certainly agree on what you say about lots of women and I am the first to agree with anyone who observes that lots of women get their “facts” from women on The View or in the past, from Oprah.

However, I refuse to wear your mantle shame regarding “a personal attack.”

The fact is lots of men resent women in general because of their own personal experiences regarding rejection by a specific woman.

Perceptive and caring women recognize these kinds of blanket negative statements (and calling women “basically ignorant” certainly qualifies as such) about all women comeing from personal, hurt feelings.

I just wonder if a poll like this is asking too general a question.

Are there times where someone says they disagree, without fail, everything about a person? In this case, President Trump.

Then you ask them specifics about the economy, immigration, taxes, schools, the rule of law, so on and so forth. And at the end of the interview you show them that they agree with everything that President Trump has done, is doing or wants to do. Then you ask them the original question again and this time they can’t answer it the same way.

Kind of like folks like Kirk, Crowder, and Dice do, when they approach folks, present them with something pretending it to be from one side or the other and then proving how wrong the people are and how it’s all just emotion and absolutely no critical thinking on their part.

Well admittedly the article was written with a political focus, on socially defined groups and their proclivities toward political party and this election, but I was speaking overall about socio-cultural and political awareness, and of the two groups highlighted as being on opposite sides of the party support ratio, college educated women and non college educated (burly) men, I would say from my own anecdotal experience that the former are more cognizant of social issues in general and even (maybe to a lesser contrast) politics and current events than the later group. I have worked in factories and warehouses, and I have been to college and worked with people the vast majority of which are degree holders, so again it’s very anecdotal I suppose, but those are my reasons. I’ve been in the factory lunch room where the guys (and that’s what they were, women weren’t excluded but did not apply) frequently brought up some current event or ranted about politics, but that was just conversation and rarely ever a focus. When Trump brings up a phrase ‘lockeroom talk’, I would contend that’s a real phenomenon. Boys will be boys. The current state of geopolitical affairs does not dominate.

Don’t sell white college-educated women short, especially not the group in college right now. The Lefties have been trying to make inroads in my college’s culture. They have started with Humanities before moving their efforts over to the Fine Arts building. Though there is no lack of liberals in either of these places there is a lack of hardcore leftists. Instead, there are liberal capitalists who seem aghast at the idea of people spending their lives being a trained monkey that produces a bunch of unsellable crap. Nobody wants to produce stuff that compares badly with refrigerator art, at least not on purpose ;)

Thank you for proving my point.

You responded in 1 minute 38 seconds. Took barely enough time to read the post before you fired off a emotion based response. You could not even bother to THINK about the points made to you

Which is how too many women are voting. No thought, just an emotional respond to the Democrats campaigns manipulation of their emotions

Thanks for you message about not stereotyping women. Note that the article was talking about college-educated women, not about all women.

The influence of indoctrination at the college level is so intense.

I have a very bright niece whose 3 sons went to university for engineering and math/science/IT subjects. All three came out liberals, and no longer attending church regularly. Hopefully they will gradually revert to more traditional thinking.

I was surprised this happened to them since they were not in social science classes.

Our university system is a hotbed of subversion, anti-God, and anti-Western values. The majority of women choose fields of study which emphasize psych, sociology and other non-objective subjects, making them all indoctrinated into leftists theories.

When I was in college I studied sciences as I was a Medical Technology major. 90% of my female classmates changed majors to education as they either could not pass the biology/chemistry and physics classes, or they decided it was not what they wanted.

If going by my circle of friends and people I went to high school with, it is a very large percentage. We do have a large University in town so there are a lot of admin positions. Also, throw in everyone working in a non-profits subsidized by the Government too.
