I can't get over this sentence no matter how often I read it.

"Women showed no effects when told they were masculine; however, men given feedback suggesting they were feminine expressed more support for war, homophobic attitudes, and interest in purchasing an SUV."

@jmcrookston Seriously, though, how many men take it out on the women in their lives?

@anne_twain Huge percentages, which we don't want to acknowledge.

What struck me about Trump winning the recent presidential election in the US was that the US electorate is even more misogynistic than it is racist.

The US electorate chose Obama twice as president but subsequently has on two occasions rejected extremely well qualified female candidates for the same job.

@the_wub @jmcrookston Could be. You haven't had a female president yet.

Primarily as I have only ever lived in parliamentary democracies (three in total) with ceremonial monarchs as heads of state.

@anne_twain

Not a problem, I was not in anyway ruffled by your comment.

I hope that you were not ruffled by my reply.

Enjoy the rest of your day/evening.

@the_wub No, no, you're not the mansplainer. He's already taken offence and blocked me, so everything's fine now. Please don't apologise.
