Military women, female veterans are shifting away from GOP

WuWei:

Keep reading.

Irrelevant. See below:

‘’… it is not because they are male that men are more intelligent but because they are taller . Taller individuals are more intelligent than shorter individuals, and men just happen to be taller than women. In fact, once we control for height, women on average are more intelligent than men .

Ok, if you say so.

Since the article did not list the change over time for women in the military, how did they determine there was any “shifting” involved?
It is curious to see that they would be so different than male military members. No real explanations, except cherry picked anecdotes.

Well that is sexist. My personal belief is that there are also many different types of intelligence (six in total, but I’ll just list three for brevity’s sake): innate IQ (potential), wisdom (experience), and knowledge (specific wisdom that can be learned through others or one’s own experiences).

IQ gives one an advantage over the others, sure, but it is only potential. If they fail to acquire the other two types of intelligence, then what good is IQ? One can boast until the cows come home about their high IQ, but if they don’t actually put it to practical use, again, what good is it, other than to come off as arrogant and haughty?

And lastly (not trying to be rude), I have seen no studies that directly link sex or gender to overall intelligence.

But that is just me.

It’s not sexist to recognize that generally there are some things that the different sexes are better at.

Generally, men are stronger than women.

Generally, women make better decisions than men.

This is just reality.

You don’t have any proof to back that up.

How many of the cast members in Jackass were female?

FlameHeart · 2018-12-31T21:04:30.985Z

Not good enough- that’s a fictional story.

LucyLou · 2018-12-31T21:06:45.996Z

Well, it’s not fiction.

WuWei:

Females represent 16% of the military population.

How many of them live in Pennsylvania, Michigan or Wisconsin?

Wisconsin already ticked back to blue.

FlameHeart · 2018-12-31T21:08:14.336Z

The word “cast” stands out to me- I assume it’s a movie, show, or play. Characters written and developed by other people, not by nature.

LucyLou · 2018-12-31T21:10:09.528Z

It’s Reality TV, made into a movie. It’s dumb guys doing dumb things.

Cool story…trump won by 70k votes so any dip is a problem

WuWei · 2018-12-31T21:21:06.673Z

Thanks. 2020 will not be 2016.

I doubt there are 70k voting females from those 3 states in the military, but I could be wrong.

We’ll have to wait and see.

Plus you have to factor in tariffs, the gm layoffs, the soy beans issue as well…

One good deal with China 6 months out and it all goes away. Watch.

Plasmaball · 2018-12-31T21:40:43.123Z

If china bothers to do that…

WuWei · 2018-12-31T21:42:52.286Z

They will. Watch.

As if women are herd animals, and as such are lumped together.

Why is it that the dems characterize everyone, except white, male Christians, as having a hive mind, and they must become Democrats, are they not thinking individuals?

Sorry, what is your point? White male evangelicals are Trump’s biggest supporters. It doesn’t get much more hive-mindish than 80%+.

Plasmaball · 2018-12-31T22:30:18.020Z

Why? They can wait us out…trump leaves they can deal with someone else…
