RUSH: This is a story resulting from a research study at Brunel University in London. “Physically Weak Men More Likely to Be Socialists.” (laughing) What timing! I said, “This is a godsend.” It is a woman that’s writing the story here. “Surprise, surprise. Men who are physically weak are more likely to favor socialist policies. An academic study from researchers at Brunel University London assessed 171 men, looking at their height, weight, overall physical strength and bicep circumference, along with their views on redistribution of wealth and income inequality.
“The study, published in the Evolution and Human Behavior journal,” one of my favorite magazines, by the way, right along with Prairie Farmer. The survey “found that weaker men were more likely to favor socialist policies than stronger men. Brunel University’s Michael Price believes this may be a product of evolutionary psychology.” Listen to this. Dr. Price said, “This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society. Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success.
“If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.” See how this works? Strong, tough, self-reliant, studly, manly guys don’t believe in equality. You think you have a headline, you think you have a story that may really be on to something and then they totally blow it with their own analysis. Now, this story hit home for me obviously because of the circumstance that happened up there in Montana. But I myself — and I’ve mentioned this before — I imagine a lot of people will not remember me having said it because I didn’t make a big deal of it, didn’t do a whole segment on it.
But I have wondered — Snerdley will back me on this — over the years I have openly wondered out loud here how, honest to God, real men could possibly be liberal. I have never understood it, in a psychological sense. I understand propaganda, brainwashing, environmental influences growing up, the role of parents, teachers and so forth. But throw that stuff out, I have never understood it. It just intellectually, as far as common sense, doesn’t compute with me. And yet it is obviously true.
This story actually looks at it the other way. Rather than how our big, tough strong guys are liberal fascists, they point out that it’s weak and small and Pajama Boy types that are more likely to be socialists. The theory is that because they do not have the confidence born of a powerful personal stature, that they need outside forces fighting their battles for them to ensure that they are not thrown overboard, under the bus. That they’re not beaten up, that they are not bullied and made fun of. So they come along and they support large, forceful, powerful authorities over everybody to equalize things.
And on the other hand, big, strong, manly, studly guys, they gravitate the other way, and they don’t want equality because they already know that they’re bigger, stronger, and more powerful that the wusses out there and they don’t want anybody coming along elevating the wusses to artificial strength and artificial power when they can’t acquire all of that on their own.
“Taking his assessment one step further, Price wanted to factor in gym time to see if he could determine the relationship flow between strength and socialistic leanings. Are men who are naturally strong more inclined to hold capitalistic views, or are men with capitalistic views driven to go to the gym? ‘When Dr. Price factored in time spent in the gym some, but not all, of the link disappeared,’ notes The Times, suggesting there may be something to men with capitalistic views hitting the gym. ‘Of course this isn’t rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university. Lot of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies,’ added Price.”
Well, we don’t have any hunter gatherer — well, we do, but not here. We’re on the way. If these climate change people win, we’re all gonna be reverting back to that era. So physically weak men more likely to be socialist. You can understand how that headline captivated me on the very day the studly and manly Gianforte threw that dishrag Pajama Boy reporter down to the ground.
.....and mentally weak women................
I can bench press 183% of my body weight. Although I know I can go higher if I train seriously.
Same thing with masculine women.

You can also go higher if you lose weight.
15 years ago, I was there, have been on and off training since I was 15 or so. I have always felt that socialist men were wusses...
Not surprised. I don’t tend to believe “studies”, but this sure makes sense, doesn’t it.
About a million years back, I dated a young lady whose father always ask about my politics.
I told him I was an anarchist.
He did not miss a beat,in telling me that was OK for the young, but once past physical prime, it goes downhill fast.
I believe he was correct.
As men go further and further away from their masculine role, women will move further and further toward filling that gap. We are playing a dangerous game with mother nature.
I just read an article on how younger women are refusing to remove their body hair, and there is an uptick in young men removing their body hair.
So the gals now have hairy armpits and it’s the guys with the Nair in their shower.
I’m a millennial. I know plenty of men that shave every hair off of their body except for their eyebrows and hair on their head. The women love it.
Most women you hear of not shaving their hair on their legs and armpits are ugly raging feminists that could never get laid in the first place.
All women are predisposed to socialism because its group herd mentality and conformity for group harmony. And given we have let women kick most of the real men out of education as teachers in formative k-12 years, and easily get rid of dad but still take his money in no-fault divorce where everything is stacked against him, far to many boys grow up to be men that are taught this is great, and go along with this weak crap.
New Study Finds Wimpy Guys Are More Likely To Be Socialists

It’s now been scientifically proven that the wimpier the guy, the more likely he is to be a socialist. No kidding.
According to a new study, physically weaker men are more prone to support socialism, a trend psychologists say may be because they feel they can’t compete against stronger men and are therefore consider inequality more threatening.
According to the Times, U.K., Brunel University ran a study on 171 men, measuring everything from their strength, height, weight and even bicep circumference. What the university found was that the physically inferior men tended to be the ones who said they supported the redistribution of wealth.
The physically stronger men, on the other hand, were a lot more prone to backing capitalism, and said they supported the idea of naturally dominant social groups.
“This is about our Stone Age brains, in a modern society,” explained the university’s own Michael Price. “Our minds evolved in environments where strength was a big determinant of success. If you find yourself in a body not threatened by other males, if you feel you can win competitions for status, then maybe you start thinking inequality is pretty good.”
“Of course this isn’t rational in modern environments, where your ability to win might have more to do with where you went to university,” he added. “Lots of guys who are phenomenally successful in modern societies would probably be nowhere near as successful in hunter gatherer societies.”
Still, Price says, it’s pretty amazing to see how natural dominant instinct plays out in today’s society, where weaker guys appear to find a lot more value in others being forced to share the wealth.

Wasn’t it Rush Limbaugh who said that feminism was a way for ugly women to get power?
Well, socialism is a way for pajama boys to get power too.
Yeah. We had 8 years to figure that out.
"Ohh, these 5 pounders are HARD!"
I have two sons in their early 20s and they don’t shave anything a mom can see. Except one kinda shaves his “beard” the few hairs he has. Lol.
Captain Badass over here.
