When Bad People Are Punished, Men Smile (but Women Don't)

The above is the title that the NY Times gave to their version of this story.

They don't know my ex.

[Arm_Bears]

That's because men are wired for vengeance.

[fizziwig]

Men may want revenge more but women hold on to grudges far far far far far far far....did I say far?......longer, and then they get their revenge. And it comes out of the blue with no reference to anything remotely current....

"This means that people tend to protect each other from being exploited by society's free-loaders, and evolution has probably seeded this sense of justice and moral duty into our brains..."

Behavior the liberals have been doing their very best to condition/indoctrinate out of the populace for decades!

[Lorianne]

Not the best of titles ... can be taken different ways.
Interesting article.

¡Sí, tengo muy hombre!

They test her?

[justshutupandtakeit]

The subjects were probably overwhelmingly Christian and Jew. A rerun should be done using Moslems.

[airborne]

I can vouch for that. And she's got it coming.

Assorted posts on the same topic. Not that there is anything wrong with than that. Mostly not identical.

No doubt the "researchers" used "intuition" to render patterns of light into wordy intentions.

And on another day, members the same "team" cheer at films like "Thelma and Louise."

[iPod Shuffle]

I just finished reading Memoirs of a Geisha... sheesh, the women in that book spent YEARS plotting revenge for petty slights!

[sageb1]

Sounds to me like emotions have been left untouched by evolution.

[goldstategop]

We men are such heartless brutes, eh? If wasn't for the male obsession with justice, women and children would still be fair game for predators and the world would still be living by the law of the jungle. Let's be thankful for small favors.

They don't talk to the "right" women!

[woofer]

Vengeance is a dish best served cold.

Several are the befuddled that have no idea that it was I that sidetracked their personal goals. One still has no idea why the IRS is still so interested in his income from the early nineties.

Don't get on my bad side, there is no light or warmth there.

Another study's methodology consisting of bullcrap.

How is this even news, anyway?

In other breaking news, a shocking study lays bare men's dirty little secret.

They really like sex.

[Texan5]

There must be something wrong with this study-I'm certain I'm not the only woman who has ever played so many dirty tricks and head games on her ex husband that he thought he was going nuts and went wacko in a marriage counselor's office...

[Emmalein]

As a female, I think the title is very misleading from what the article is stating. My thought is that the women didn't like seeing the other person being given physical pain. I don't think it is safe to assume that because of this women don't want revenge. This study was about punishment using physical pain which for most women is far different from any other types of punishment (such as humiliation, ostracizing, etc.).
