Men have become more aggressive in negotiating with women since the 2016 election, according to study from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Corinne Low, Wharton Business Economics and Public Policy professor, and doctoral student Jennie Huang didn't intend to test the effect Donald Trump's election had on the difference in men's and women's negotiating patterns when they conducted the test last fall. But that is what the data showed, the Washington Post reported.

"Not only was the communication more aggressive, it was also less effective," Low told the Post.

In a Battle of the Sexes game, 232 mostly University of Pennsylvania students were paired up, given $20 and asked to divide the money in a $15 to $5 split. If they couldn't work it out, neither would get a share, The Daily Pennsylvanian reported.

In sessions before the election, men were generally more chivalrous and less likely to use tougher strategies against their female partners. After the election, results suggested the "Trump election may have fractured community norms of civility and chiralry," the authors wrote.

"Our results are consistent with literature showing that broader political or world events can impact behavior such as generosity, fairness and reciprocity, cooperation, group bias and health insurance uptake," the authors wrote in the study paper.

Anyone know why that hippo was having an out-of-control hissy-fit?
Anyone know the context?

...any time a man acts in any way like a “man”, it is threatening to the so IMO, studies like this are going to be mostly BS.

That's inevitable, since the driving force is political rather than the search for truth.

There is a fascinating book written by Deborah Blum in 1998, with the title Sex on the Brain, The biological differences between men and women.

To the disappointment of many Freepers, I'm sure, the contents of the book is not even close to what the title suggests or what might be inferred by most.
I would trust that book as a more sober impartial treatment of the subject, than the ruminations of a politically correct "study" by a higher education site with a political bent.
