By the way your colleges should have imparted on you that anecdotal evidence doesn't do much to refute statistical evidence. For example, the fact that most of the Tennesseans I know are extraordinarily liberal does not mean that Tennessee is a liberal place.

Big men are also armed.

Not all big guys are bullies, but I will grant you that many are. When you are physically more powerful than the majority of your peers, you tend to exercise that ability. It is how one chooses to use their abilities that determines whether or not they are a bully, and that applies to the weak and strong.

  • Weaker men more likely to support welfare state and wealth redistribution
  • Link may reflect psychological traits that evolved in our ancestors
  • Strength was a proxy for ability to defend or acquire resources
  • There is no link between women's physical strength and political views

I think this is 110% BS

This link kinda proves otherwise
Who Served? | Military Service of Politicians

Draft Right Wing Republican College Chickenhawks PATHETIC ! - YouTube
Plus the fact that Union tradesman overwhelmingly are Democrat kinda blows that "weakling" thing right out of the water.

What I have found to be true in the real world is most rw types have more mouth than nads and have yet to see proof otherwise,but as usual the nutjobs try to pull a spin on reality..pretty weak attempt

LSE, seriously?

The LSE in England is a well known joke of an institution, particularly by the British. What you claim to be "statistical evidence" is nothing more than an unsupported overly broad generalization. In other words, "wishful thinking." A common trait among liberal atheist intellectuals.

Strong men more likely to vote Conservative - Telegraph

In defense of 'conservatives' how is defending what is actually yours and accumulating resources even remotely tied to 'entitled'.

An entitlement is merely using legislative force to grant something to someone without an underlying merit or work attributed to it. It flies in the face of what you are attempting to link, which makes zero sense.

What I found to be true is that there are an order of magnitude more right-wing conservatives serving on active duty in the military than there are liberals since the draft was suspended in 1974.

LSE a joke of an institution really?

Lmao. It is one of the best universities in the world for Economics. I lived in Britain for a while and worked in the House of Commons as a college internship. Most of the Econ folks I met there were LSE. LSE is hardly a "joke" in the UK.

Seriously, just because you don't like a study you are going to try and say LSE is a crappy school. That is funny.

Just using the same language as the article and study which would be the same as the OP.

I guess I failed to see the word entitled used with conservatives in the article.

It is the article I linked citing what I suspect is the exact same study. With that said I seriously doubt the Mail would every say anything bad about conservatives.

On an ironic side note. Having lived in Britain, I find it immensely funny that self described masculine men are so quick to point to something they read in the Daily Mail.
